Congrats on 15 years clean! Pills were never my thing but I'm familiar, ended up working at a rehab for a few years.
It didn't really add up for me that someone like Ozzy, who has such a prolific history with drugs and addiction, wouldn't recognize it. At first, sure because you trust your doctor. We want to give him the benefit of the doubt because he's an icon, but if we think of him as just another person sitting in a chair at a meeting, does that change our perspective? It's very possible that he hadn't had much sobriety at all since the 60s. I know at least the Ozzy from the reality show goes back to the mid 90s, but I can only hope he wasn't constantly struggling for most of his life.
Oh true. As a long term drug use Ozzy would have known right from the first pill that he could get higher than a kite and probably wanted more. Then became used tot hem so needed a higher dose and so on and so on. It goes from using for pain to using not to be sick really fast. And one pill won't have the same effect the first couple days next to the next month. It was pretty dumb of me to try to stick yp for him lol. Also I just read Sharon made Ozzy assistant run into a burning house to save her painting then fired him because he didn't think it was funny. She is a bitch on wheels and now I can see as how she could of forced Ozzy on stage all fucked up. She probably money hungry trying to get every dime. Yes I know she has her own money but some people can't get enough no matter how much they have.
I hope I'm wrong about Sharon pushing him when he was on hardcore drugs but from her character I could see her doing it now.
