He gave up the drink didn't he as part of the 12 steps.
Only nothing is given to really take it's place so what you have to help blot things out is taken away hence I guess more cutting.
Not that any of this really matters now.

Drink to sleep.
Starve because it gives you control.
Feel sick and faint a lot
Die
Die thin, obviously
Heartbreaking.

I'm taking a risk here, (please don't ask what I mean by that), but... I have the whole article typed up on this page of my site: http://articles.richeyedwards.net/dec04jan05.html
I don't know which publication it was originally from, or from when. If someone could tell me, I'd appreciate it.

I'll wager a guess and say it's from Mojo but I could be terribly terribly wrong.

I mean a bottle of vodka must have about 2000 calories. I don't understand how he can have lost so much weight consuming that much. I know he was working out, but still.
Why are you concerned about it so much? Or is your username a clue?!!
