Basically went from "having it all" to sleeping on the street. It's a sad story. I hope he survives, but recovering his former life and celebrity status is probably a fantasy at this point.
He may recover, but alcohol destroyed his life. At least a part of his life, and given the short amount of time we are given, that goes down on the books as a loss. Even if he improves his position 1000 fold at this point, part of his life went down the drain.
This bothers me because it hits home. Am I happy to have a successful recovery? You bet. Am I happy to be an alcoholic? Not for a minute. I might be happy now, and I'm certainly grateful for my escape, but alcohol diminished the quality of important years during my prime, and I don't get those back.
