Personally, I dont feel bad for people who do drugs. If you know that you could become addicted the very first time you try it and your life could be ruined forever, then y wuld u tempt god and try it any way? I dont understand what is going through someones mind when they decide to shoot up… It is sickening and very foolish. If you make the worst decision possible, then you need to face the consquences just like any other situation in life.

I agree with Angela. Sobriety is a gift for those who want it not those who need it. Unfortunately when you take the journey to get sober you end up walking over dead bodies along the way. For those of us who are sober and work our recovery program to th best of our ability, DJ AM’s story is a reminder of how deadly serious addiction and recovery are. It is a sad but true fact that some must die so that others may live. I am grateful to DJ AM for carrying the message and I am saddened by his death. I am saddened not because of who he was or what he did, but because he was an addict just like me and he didn’t make it. Rest in Peace.

“That doesn’t give a lot of hope for today’s addicts”…..I think that’s the point. There is no hope if you keep using. Stop using drugs and you will save your life! It seems to me that this documentary could make the strongest point yet.

Yeah, I kinda agree. It’s hard for Adam Goldstein to be a role model to other addicts when he wasn’t able to defeat the addiction himself. In fact, he succumbed to it in the worst possible way. That doesn’t give a lot of hope to today’s addicts.

I have nothing but sympathy for the family and friends who have to suffer thru the loss of DJ AM, but I think that it is very hippocritical and in poor taste to air the documentary “Gone to Far”. In essence the whole point would be to inspire change by striving to live a sober life. That isnt the message here….please reconsider your decision to air something that could prove to be less than inspiring..to say the least.
