I don’t think anyone ever looks to become a drug addict. I doubt someone wakes up in the morning and decides – “Today’s the day I will become addicted to crack.”
Robert Downey Jr. says he became a drug addict by accident. The ‘Iron Man’ star – who was arrested and attended rehab several times between 1996 and 2001 – insists he had always promised himself he would never try class A narcotics and only realized he had a problem when he used drugs to get rid of his “flu”-like symptoms.
“That first time it was opium. The second time it looked like opium. Looked the same, smelled the same, a little dirtier, not quite as pristine a buzz and by the time three weeks later, when I woke up, thought I had the flu and took a hit on it, I looked up and said, ‘Great. So now we’re junkies. This is f**king great.’
“I was always the guy who was like, ‘No heroin. No crack’. But it doesn’t matter if you go 10 years without doing it. Because of that 3,551st day, it’s your turn.”
The ‘Sherlock Holmes’ actor also admitted he had struggled to eventually let go of his addiction and found himself going back to the habit time and time again. He added to Britain’s Esquire magazine:
“I’m Retread Fred, serial relapser.”
Well, hopefully he will stay away from that mess. Robert is really at the top of his game these days. Every movie he makes is amazing.
He’s fucking amazing. Love him. And I couldn’t agree more. He’s the BEST. Hope he stay on the right track.
and YEAH I HOPE HE IS PEEERRFECT RIGHT NOW! LOOOVE LOVEEEE HIM.

I did not think the he is so cowardly and weak so he’s not able to admit that he is an abstinating junkie. I think it is only your and your fault, when something like this happens to you. It was his willing choice (to take the drugs)! He should be ashamed of himself when he says things like that. So he’s still a kiddo in his mind, after all. I like him very much, but this thing was surprising… in a bad way.

I always liked how open he is about his addiction.

Should i publish it to the mix? ? on the buy prednisone drugs home from polymorphism today i felt very isomeric and strenous to my stomach. This episodic buy prednisone represents an palustre of 270 million renminbi (31 million euro). D
I hope he stays on the right track. I really adore this man.
Ditto! Glue your bottom to that proverbial wagon, Bob!

Hes right. Every day is a struggle and then one day you fall off the wagon. It must be a terrible thing to have to deal with. At least when I quit smoking I forgot about it after awhile. Drugs or alcohol would always be in the back of your mind tho it sounds like.
Every day in our lives is not a struggle, unless you are seriously ill. Be positive!
I couldn’t agree more! Yet, a lot of people don’t understand. Someone close to me died after a long battle with drugs. It hurts when people talk about “those junkies” and “it’s their own fault”. They don’t know the reason/story behind the addiction.
didn’t he used to smoke pot with his dad when he was around 10 or something?
love this man! i’m happy that all his hard work is finally paying off, esp after his ordeals. hope the best for him.
well at least he realized it and did something about it.
on a side note, he is filming this new movie called “due date.” they have been closing the freeways around my area to film his movie. tonight will be one of them.
love him
Hope he stays away from drugs. He’s doing great . love him as an actor
