    • This is really heartbreaking, especially when you can see there are youngsters involved and he just needs to get in the right zone and help himself. I just hope that this epidemic doesn't spread any further.

    • I hope he breaks the addiction and comes out to be a fully healthy person, believe he's got a daughterso he's got something to live for. Hope he comes out ok. Have watched this documentary a number of times.

    • Jeez, weird seeing a completely articulate guy talking so casually about something that seems so strange and unfamiliar to the average person.
