Would you like to be Charlie Sheen?

My opinion is that his addictions are getting the better of him and it will come to a head fairly soon.

This time next year he will either be sober, in much worse shape than he is today or dead.

Well, what other outcome is there for the guy?

To stay just the same as if he doesn't really have a problem and is in total control.

Any day now Charlie will have an epiphany, become Iron Man and privatise world peace.

I think this quote sums up why I would never in a million years want to be Charlie Sheen.

Kristina Wandzilak, an addiction and intervention specialist, told ABC News: “This is a tragedy that is unfolding on a national stage. If this were a client in my office, somebody who had been tested clean but still had this pressured speech and this grandiose thinking, I would be calling for psychiatric care. It’s a dangerous combination to have an unwell individual and to hand them a media platform. It feeds the delusion of power and uniqueness.”

Sure I'd love to be wealthy and handsome. But I would never want to go through what he is at the minute.

He is obviously delusional but why is that important? It's only a negative from our perspective.

When he say's he's on a drug called Charlie sheen he isn't too far wrong. He has obviously fed his own delusions but why should it be something to stop. Yes it is destructive if he wanted to live the type of life everyone else is telling him he should but from his perspective he's doing the right thing so why should it matter what we think?

I know what we think is not important. My point is that he is deeply troubled whatever he may say in his rambles. It should be something to stop because it is clearly ruining his health. Look at the difference in him in his recent interviews and compared to even 18 months ago. He looks a sick man and he could end up paying a big price for it.

There is nothing positive in addiction, even if somebody is in a deluded state and thinks they are doing exactly what they want. If he hasn't drank or drugged himself to death by then, he may seriously regret the damage he is doing to his body in time to come. Even is that regret is not being able to see his kids or some other perfectly possible side effect to his lifestyle.
