  1. When you're rich and famous, everyone sympathizes with your struggle with addiction. When you're poor and addicted, you get sent to prison.

  2. Cannot believe! How young he was! I miss him.

  3. In fact, much less is known about him than we already know.

    Perhaps what He has given us is more than we thought.

    We will remember him for a long time.

  4. Billions in addiction every day.. Sad but true! πŸ™πŸ™

  5. Search " We the kingdom"! Miracle Power πŸ’¦πŸ‘£πŸ‘‘πŸŽ΅πŸŽΆπŸŽ€ Rest in peace πŸ•ŠοΈ Prayer's for family πŸ™

  6. Do not hot tub alone. Even when we were kids we weren't allowed to use the hot tub alone. My friend's father a doctor told us it's not because you're little even when you get older you shouldn't hot tub alone. Hot tubs can make you dizzy, hot water can make you weak and sleepy.

  7. When they achieve success, they develop addiction issues. If you are constantly hungry, you focus on what matters. Addiction is a scourge for the wealthy

  8. Still 54 years old is way too young. RIP!

  9. HE DUG HIS GRAVE, NOW HE WILL LAY IN IT.

  10. 😒But We still have Zelnskyii πŸ‡ΊπŸ‡¦πŸ™‹πŸ»

  11. They have the cutest friends/ Matthew Perry stickers on ebay/ Mercari.. I had to order 2, they were that cute

  12. I hate it when people cry about their poor choices.
