They fond a residual amount of cocaine in his home, that doesn't necessarily mean he was using it. You made it sound as though he's a cokehead, when all they found was a few specks. I'm not saying he didn't have more cocaine previously, but you were overblowing the situation with the cocaine.
Humor me. What would an addict that has already gone past satisfying his addiction with small amounts of cocaine be doing with residual amounts of cocaine, unless he's already snorted the rest of it?
What generalization is that?
By saying "addiction is a disease," you implied addiction is exactly like depression or schizophrenia, while there are several differences. You can't force yourself to not hear voices in your head, but you can force yourself not to snort something. No matter how great the impulse is to take something, you always have the physical power to restrain yourself.
Again you are making it sound as though one can just will themselves to stop using drugs by snapping their fingers and saying "Okay, time to take responsibility for my actions!" It's not that simple.
Rather than snapping your fingers,
not snorting a line of cocaine after you've successfully prevented yourself from doing so and became more successful than ever is closer to what I was talking about.
This thread isn't about his main event status, and I never commented on his main event status in relation to this.
I commented about whether he deserved his status in the company.
Main-event is the specific of that.
But again, you say "he should have the discipline not to give into his cravings", again showing you think addiction is something you can just snap your fingers and say "Okay time to stop now!"
Good job exaggerating and generalizing. Sure, Hardy would have had to work immensely hard to maintain being clean from an addiction, but that's the cost of his status and his line of work. Anything else is betraying his family, his promotion, his boss, his friends, his coworkers and his girlfriend.
Like it or not, you can fight an addiction with willpower--my dad continues to prove that. And for someone that
continually refuses rehab, Hardy basically claims to have that willpower. He's also a hypocrite.
That's completely different. Being horny isn't a mental illness, is it?
A "mental illness" is just a differentiation from the norm. You can restrain being being horny in the same way you restrain an addiction, even though the latter is, I grant, much more difficult.
