    I've seen this over and over in the last few weeks. And not just about Russell brand but also Danny Masterson. People watching old interviews and claiming that the interviewer or interviewee really give themselves away by some small body language. It's absurd. Most of it is nonsense. Comparing brand to saville is mental. Saville spend his entire life trying to access hospitals so he could get near 12 and 13 year old girls. Brand has been accused of rape of 1 woman and sexual assault of 3 others and two of those are pretty dubious to call assault. These crimes are on completely different levels.

    One of the things that has kept me listening to the entertainment that is Russell, aside from Matt Morgan x, despite his obvious 'narcissism' is being honest about it / being human and being out there 'warts and all' in a spirited way. For currently insisting on contributing positively in areas he has experience or feels matter, despite being 'flawed' as are we all, not disabled by being unable, as any individual, to single handedly change society. His feelings on the manipulative and mostly negative nature of the press echo my own. HIs attempts to accept and channel his life force cheer me up, an ongoing process for us all. So i hope you continue with The Trew's Russell because i switched off The News a few years ago and its nice to listen in again.xx

To me that is duplicitous and an easy cop out- he often seems to speak in platitudes.

    The opposite of addiction is connection. The addict has become disconnect from society and most commonly from themselves. Our connection with our inner self who is pure happiness has been blocked off. The answer to that is reconnection to our inner self and that is through daily 15 min meditation. Our inner self has all the answers we need, we didn't arrive on the universe with no guidance system.. no we did not! So he's right about meditation.

Whilst reading his book I was assured in my own mind that he took his time while writing and referenced his thesaurus for synonyms and large words to wow his audience the whole way through, but when he does it live like this, I'm left to believe that there is something else at play here, something supernatural. Fair play to him honestly. I don't know how he does it.

    Nicotine is highly addictive, but as a heavy smoker it took 55 years to stop. I thought it would be so hard to recover from so never even tried to stop. But it was easy to stop in the end, I just did nicotine gum Instead it was the most helpful. Drug and drink addiction, I imagine is similar good luck to anyone trying to find a better way of living.

    It's a shame Russell is consistently being labelled as an idiot purely because he's a comedian and a former drug addict. For fuck's sake look at him as a human being and try and understand what he's saying from not only from his point of view but other former/drug addicts. I've just subconsciously put forward one of Russell's points: we need to be more COMPASSIONATE.

It doesnt matter what form it takes, but without spiruality, logical or not, the world IS a more materialistic selfish place.

    Trying to explain to people this epidemic who just refer to users as "Junkies" is just so frustrating. I mean are you really that thick that you think people think "I hope i get addicted to this!" "When i grow up i wanna be a Junkie!" It's just so annoying i've never used before but i'm able to understand there are 2 types of people in the world. Ones that push a big mysterious red button, some choose to push it and the others choose to not push it, everyone's on a different journey.

    I do not mind being called a junkie (, addict, alcoholic, speedfreak or whatever, it all comes down to the same thing eventually and), I know I am a junkie or whatever you or anyone wants to call me, it or the issue. At the age of 14 I started 'experimenting' with drugs and literary every substance (okey with the exclusion of coke and mushrooms) I tried after my first cigarette turned into a habbit at some point. And you are right, every time I see a childhood picture of myself I cannot believe that this (normal/cute haha) little fellow has to face the shit addiction brings with it mayby 10 or 20 years after those pictures were taken. And looking back it feels like these habbits just silently slipped into my life at some point and eventually started or had tried to take control over me. This to the point where I cannot or were barely able to participate in society in a 'normal', acceptable way. And even with hindsight I'm convinced that I would at some point have or had to deal with my (love for) alcohol and or drugs for some cause or reason. I just seem to gravitate to this shit that gives me the feeling of aid to archive or just give me a brief way out (or give me confidence or sleep or name the excuses). At the moment I'm 22 and just started rehab for the first time in my life. It isn't easy but (when I started I wouldn't have believed these even excisted) even the short term benefits of losing the habbits give me the feeling and motivation that it might be worthwhile in the end (I hope). And to end this very bad written and way to long reply on your comment, addiction may very well be a life sentence for me and even though I know younger me from the pictures would have understand me if would have told him to watch out (keep the hell away from*) for drugs and alcohol I'm pretty sure addiction would have surfaced in one way or anathor and even may eventually have caused severe problems sooner or later in my life.

    People who are addicted to drugs biologically and phsychologically rely on it, it changes their brain it's like seeing a new spectrum of colours in our world and then once you're sober trying to live life being blind. Other drugs such as heroin people have described it like being another dimension of orgasmic like bliss 1 million times stronger and hours longer. So once you have people tasting 1000% bliss and happiness they've been searching for desperately through-out life.. getting it easily through inhaling or injection that's what they begin to live for they NEED it. The feelings/experiences sadly are better than falling in love, sex, the love for your children all combined for most addicts. Don't take it personally though this isn't a persons choice this is how our brains and bodies react with chemicals. Once you go there you'll never be the same trying to be sober because life just isn't enough for addicts any more when a 'extremely higher quality of life' is a breath away. People who do successfully re-structure their life sober after being enslaved by drugs.. the hardest being heroin are the strongest people on earth. Russell Brand is one of them. It's best not to touch drugs at all.

    what russell said about legalising drugs was interesting. i cant really imagine seeking out drug help if i got addicted because i wouldnt want to go behind bars completely missing my younger life. probably if drugs were legal, people would seek help when addicted more often in proportion to the amount taking them, meaning there wiuld proportionally be less adducts and less deaths. that said, i used the word "proportionally" because there'd probably be more people taking them... so idk really. i think its a really tricky subject actually.

    On the point of alcohol I was not a regular drinker but at a stage in life When I was very depressed I got up one morning at 5am I had a bad cold I was looking through cupboards looking for lemsips came across a bottle of jamesons so decided to make a hot whiskey around 9am I felt great it was a Saturday I decided to buy another bottle I t began I could not stop Tell me how did that happen 14yrs I stopped 2018 when I began to realise that the help was wrong although I would of died without self abstenense is the only but you have to be ready the pain of near death and knowing you will never survive one last attempt I know it's hard for Russel to explain This to others who have never experienced addiction because they could never guess the feeling .
