He's got different stories, and they may be true. The one that sticks out is when he said they barely had money so they'd drink 'grain alcohol' or 'grain whisky'. Regardless of the circumstance, be it 18 or 40 years old, nobody's drinking that shit like crazy and won't be turned into a maniac for a little while. That's what teens do for fun.
He could have definitely had a few glasses of wine and been okay, he's just an attention seeking faggot. Being able to drink socially is the sign of an adult who didn't go through a years-long battle with dependency, which Jim definitely didn't go through. Now he's repressed himself to the point where he's turned gay for real.
Yea...u pretty much summed up his "alcoholism"... Jimmy was probably 4'10 and 120lbs at 16. He chugged liquor a few times, not knowing or respecting what it would do...
And figured his maniac behavior was sign of an alcoholic. Or trying to sneak in booze to treatment center. He heard stories of Ozzy being a booze bag...He thought he figured flying that flag would be cool...
It's the most "non-alcoholic" story in the history of alcoholics. As a person who has truly destroyed many years of life with powerful narcotics & booze - I find his backstory to be geared more towards wanting to be different, troubled, & a shared bond of "an artist struggling w/ booze" with his hero, Ozzy.
I was listening to an episode of This American Life and they had on a lady who was once the posterchild of AA. Known as the "13 year old alcoholic" she would appear of TV talking about how she would drink vodka while watching cartoons etc. and how it was another symptom of the moral decay of society blah blah blah.
Anyway, later in life she realised this focus on alcoholism was just to distract from other real issues going on during her childhood (abusive single-mother), and the label of ADDICT came to define her personality and she was incapable of seeing herself any other way.
Then in her late 30s, with a husband and family, she sat down and had a glass of wine...and nothing happened. Why? Because not all addiction is a disease. And AA is a fucking cult like Stanhope said. They don't empower their members. They take people who are at the absolute lowest point in their life, indoctrinate them into thinking they are powerless broken people, and replace their substance addition with an addiction to sobriety, meetings and a "higher power".
I remember listening to that episode on the radio and thought immediately of Jimmy. If I remember correctly, her parents had convinced her that she was an addict and she was forced into AA. She also couldn't remember if she actually did all the drinking that she said she did or if she had made it up during her AA sessions.
It’s a story from his first book. When he was in rehab as a teenager, he wrote that poem anonymously and left it out in a common area so that other people at the rehab would find it. He said he was hoping they’d all be abuzz about it and wondering who the great wordsmith was that perfectly captured the disease that is alcoholism.
Nobody can call themselves an alcoholic based on how they acted drunk when they were a teenager. Everyone is a sloppy drunk at that point. "You don't get it man I was making prank calls to 9/11, I was threatening to kill myself" - pretty sure kids do that without alcohol, stupid.
I forget who he was talking to, but when he was discussing how much alcohol the person can drink, Jimmy asked “can you drink an entire 6 pack?”. That’s not a ton of alcohol for an alcoholic, most alcoholics start their day with a 6 pack of beer. He needed to be edgy so he pretended to be an alcoholic and a drug addict. In reality he’s a straight edge good catholic boy who loves dick.
We all know he wasn't an alcoholic, he was a molestation survivor who when he got drunk (like many teenagers do) lashed out looking for attention and his Dad who was an AA guy thought alcohol was the problem because he obviously didn't pay much attention to little Jim as a boy and didn't know about the horrific sexual molestation. Like all AA guys, they all think AA is the answer for everything because AA teaches that.
Jim quit drinking at like 16 didn't he? No 16 year old can name their brand, because none of them have a brand. You drink whatever you can find and also cannot possibly drink enough to be an alcoholic

We're all gay now, it's 2018. Not being gay = not being woke.

Peckahs!

I don’t think he’s an alcoholic but I know he thinks he is one if that makes any sense.
1 IbDotLoyingAwright 2018-03-20
Nah

1 RacistPigeon 2018-03-20
Yes, like Opie and Opie Roberts think they are good at radio.
1 fudgesicle2014 2018-03-20
keep in mind he was a minor, which means you have to suck up whatever you can get your hands on.
1 TrolleyPower 2018-03-20
i think we all know what jimmy was sucking up as a minor

I heard that one. Would be interesting to see how the worm would react to that. Of course with denial
1 TossyMcSalad 2018-03-20
it's a tough one man
1 sherockradio 2018-03-20
Someone posted it a couple years ago in reference to Jimmy.
I remember a post from years ago. Pathetic.
1 TedsEmporiumEmporium 2018-03-20
I remember making a post about this. Maybe it was me.
I am also pathetic.
1 Bronan_the_Brobarian 2018-03-20
Jimmy had wonderful parents who raised him well so there's really no excuse for his degeneracy

1 hard_to_explain 2018-03-20
Yeah, Doug Stanhope really has life figured out
1 Taureg01 2018-03-20
I really like the Tigerbelly podcast and Bobby Lee but god damn when he starts going on about AA being his saviour it's nauseating.
1 Afriendlyamerican 2018-03-20
You either got a brand or just drink anything. I myself would always buy whatever was best value or on sale, stupid
1 TriangleDimes 2018-03-20
If you're a proper drunk you eventually end up with vodka, which tends to be the cheapest and least calories and goes down the easiest.
1 Bronan_the_Brobarian 2018-03-20
Or drink 40s like the homeless brotherman
1 KangolVos 2018-03-20
I did that because I lived in the suburbs and thought it was cool. King Cobra 40 oz for $1.29, I think.
1 babyblud015 2018-03-20
Jim just can’t handle his shit lol
1 emerge_from_the_mist 2018-03-20
Let’s not forget Jim’s tale of woe, brought to light in his 1986 poem, “Ode to Some Old Friends”.
Jack Daniels, was another one. A so-called friend of mine
I’d wrap my lips around his neck. He’d leave me feeling fine
Jack Daniels too had lied to me. I’d been deceived again
So I set out in desperate hope, to find a loyal friend
Depressed no more. My spirits soared. I was no longer sad
For I soon met a southerner by the name of Old Granddad
He’d lead me to the promised land, the road we’d start to pave
But the only thing that this bastard knew was a shortcut to the grave
1 fashanoo 2018-03-20
That can't be true, Jesus Christ
1 IbDotLoyingAwright 2018-03-20
It's genuinely bad enough that you gotta blow your meat everywhere to escape the shame

Oh, YUCK!
1 emerge_from_the_mist 2018-03-20
This is only part of it. The rest is equally as awful.
1 doodoopeepees 2018-03-20
Its probably fake and he made a much more cringe poem back then. Whobwould remember that shit, especially a teenage drunkard?

1 Sicboy69 2018-03-20
Wow, this is real? How has this not been extensively mocked on this sub.
1 jjoharanyc1 2018-03-20
It's a lot better if you read it to the tune of "Devil Went Down to Georgia".
1 emerge_from_the_mist 2018-03-20
It’s a perfect match
1 Fagghouli 2018-03-20
Nah, that's bs. Jim had deep problems with alcohol at a young age.
1 TittyMtnhighway 2018-03-20
Ah, an inaccurate quote, that is undeniable proof that Jim has never touched a drop in his life.

1 paulrnelson 2018-03-20
How do you prank call a national tragedy
1 Senators86 2018-03-20
I fucked up and you were right to point it out
1 roninPT 2018-03-20
nice drink choice stupid!!!
I believe he actually had a problem...but he definitely uses his 'addict' image to get attention and come across as interesting and complex.
1 Ultra_Patriot 2018-03-20
"well i was/am broke" usually means skol around my neck of the woods
1 enzo_trash 2018-03-20
I think entertainers use AA for networking, like jewish people and synagogs
1 dougfunny86 2018-03-20
He says "I don't remember" and changes the subject often.

You can’t be an alcoholic when you stop drinking at 18. You’re just a pussy then.
1 hitch21 2018-03-20
I've never believed it. He quit before he was 18 for christ sake. He hadn't been drinking long enough to even know if he had a problem.
1 ucfgavin 2018-03-20
Yup. He may have had a drinking problem because he was a stupid kid...but he was far from an alcoholic.
1 StufromAus 2018-03-20
