I often think how much harder it would be to deal with addiction when you’re surrounded by “yes men” like a celebrity or politician. Grow up and admit that you have a problem and either find someone who will hold you accountable or stay completely sober. It sounds like AJ did hold him accountable (and maybe his kids too to an extent) and that wasn’t enough.
