80s rock chick

i hope izzy is out there digging it ❤️🔥

growls them whispers them groans etc etc damn him

yeah he kicked drugs but then he drank daily to numb the anxiety until his airplane arrest resulted in court enforced sobriety. Drugs change the brain chemistry and deplete stuff like dopamine neurotransmitters so the after-effects can last years (have direct experience with this)

he said it was the hardest drug to kick cos withdrawal made him so anxious. he started having panic attacks to the point where he needed a safe place offatage during the UYI tour. Panic and anxiety was another reason why it was hard for him to fit with GnR’s recording and then tour schedule in 90 and 91. he felt like he had no control and if you’re struggling with anxiety disorder that is SUPER tough. big reason why he quit

b: deals with difficult emotions by not saying anything and /or strumming guitar and taking long bike rides, y’know stuffing it down
