[Bum Crack]

cennals05 such a sad story and it is not good to hear about your son being this way. It is not good that his mum showed him and helped him get hooked on it. But you would think him seeing the distruction that it has caused his mum and him that he wouldn't want to go near the stuff. Thank you for sharing it, I have seen what you are talking about when I worked at Cash Converters a guy and his mate would bring in stuff his mate owned so they both could get a fix.

It wasn't my story Strawb, it was goraws.

Opps My bad sorry GoRaw it is not good to hear.

I really struggle to understand what addiction is. I pose this question. How many people do you know to have tried drugs? Whether a once off. Rarely use on social events. Eg festivals, big occasions. Call me stupid but to me drug addiction is a cop out. To me it is thrown around to make excuses for the weak minded. I can see why someone with a terrible upbringing, no job and no one to turn to may look to alcohol and drugs to try to ease there pain. But seriously ben cousins has had the life most people would kill for and has no one to blame for the position he is in other than himself

I'm not sure what your trying to ask me ???

[The Sleeping Giant]

Your not the only one.

[Booney]

Ben losing it, rightly so, at a reporter.

[Gozu]

That looks like an anger management course coming up for him

Although it's never good seeing a man standing over a woman carrying on like a pork chop with how much the media hounds the guy you can understand him going off.

Seems as though he gave her a moment or two of his time and then he gets off the plane and they continue to follow him. I'd have told them to "**** OFF!" too.

[Coach Bombay]

ben cousins should have belted that bitch up

[DOC]

that would have helped

[Johno6]

haha yeah it definately wouldve taken the spot light of him.....

[Coach Bombay]

im just joking, but **** she didnt get the hint

[overloaded]

he looked pretty tense, maybe thats why he tried to go to the brothel in Esperence

[Punk Rooster]

Why do they keep referring to him as a recovering drug addict? He's still a junkie!!

There is a huge difference between a drug-addict and a junkie- whatever you think of him, he is not a junkie.
A drug addict is not a junkie, but a junkie is a drug addict.
The junkie bit comes in when you lose all sense of self-respect and morals, and would sell your own mother for a hit.
99% of the time, the only way junkies break their habit, is in death.
Cousins can break his addiction, but he has to really want to.

Well said. Junkie's are on a whole different level to Ben Cousins.

A family friend knows some junkies who've been full-time heroin addicts for 20-30 years and the amount of stories he's told me of their escapades and what not whilst funny from a distance would be soul destroying as a close friend or family member. Everything from stealing the Charles Sturt mayor's chair/throne in broad daylight, stealing park benches, pocketing their elderly mother's pension cheques whilst letting her wander the streets alone with no medication not knowing who she is or where she lives due to dementia, selling off all her valuables including beloved purple fur coat, trying to pawn shopping bags full of double adapter plugs etc

Spot on , that was the point i was trying to get accross earlier. It is all in the head and the want to get out of that lifestyle. Why could he do it whilst at Richmond ??? He has a father that has pretty much devoted his life to try and help him and he is throwing it back in his face. Get home to your partner and young child you moron !!! If thats not a good reason to stop , nothing will control him
