Scott was the healthiest during VR just all those interviews they had was shocking too see how well he was doing but his ego was just getting bigger and bigger all the axl attacks and bullshit i just pretty much knew that the bigger his ego gets the harder he will fall and he did once his brother passed, you know once you finally detox you shouldn't have sex or drink AT ALL but addiction creates delusion and denial, i have said it many freaking times Scott isn't just drinking the american music awards appearance didnt help him either he just wouldnt go on some show drunk for the hell of it he knows he has kids and a career his problems are much more deeper than alcohol, and when it comes to celeb rehab the only reason why he wouldnt go on that isnt just cuz of the fact that he is private but the fact that it would be a bad career move. i respect all the people on that show for doing it,and not because of the awareness cause. he just really needs to stay off the road for a while.
Actually not to mention any exact times or anything but they were all using especially Scott by the end of 2005. If you watch the Japan DVD damn was he high on either morph or oxy's. Take it from experience. The habit he was talking about kicking was injection not getting high on a synthetic variation.
I'm not going into detail but it wasn't heroin because needles and tar are a thing of the past but there's just as strong opiates that are legal.
You are right Since VR he hasn't put a needle in his arm and I'll leave it at that. Some fellow users in this forum know what I'm talkin about.
Actually around half way through the STP tour and finding a new love ,etc. The night he first didn't take his shirt off was a sign of being healthy because of the mini belly. You hit opiates hard for one week and that belly is down to the stomach muscles. It's a rock think especially for people that like to get half naked on stage.
The best picture of Scott believe it or not is the one when he's leaving the dressing room with a beer and a smoke in his hand. I know it sounds stupid but when your using opiates you fuckin hate alcohol. Beer especially.
It was good to see and I'm very proud of ya Scotty.
