  1. Steven has the sweetest disposition I have ever see in someone famous especially a rock and roller. So loving. He has been dealt a heavy hand in this life and I am very afraid he may not be able to play it out. He is only human. I wish him the very best life has to offer but the number one thing I wish him is a quiet soul.

    Keep the faith.

  2. I am always suprised to see how harsh people can be towards another person’s stuggles. You don’t know how powerful addiction can be until you have the disease yourself. It’s 100% a demon within you egging you on and your mind finally tells you that just this one time will be OK and then I will never do it again. You do it that one time and the next thing you know, it’s got you again. It’s that simple. So before you go judging someone and thier difficulties, have a heart and realize that Steven is dealing a demon that has a strong grip on him.

  3. You always have to have a little hope as long as there is life in someone. No doubt about it, Stevenʻs struggle is a very difficult one, and the demons he battles are powerful. Still, I have a soft spot for him for a kind deed he did for me some 20 years ago…(oh my…time, where does it go?) I was 19 years old and still living at home. My folks had gone away for a monthʻs vacation in Australia. I had a very small budget to survive on while they were gone, and I ran out of money before the end of the month. I was at Music Works, a rehearsal studio in Redondo Beach, watching friends play, and I was talking about needing to get dog food but having run out of money. Steven, who was there hanging out and watching the rehearsal too, reached into his pocket and handed me some money. He told me to tell my dogs, when I fed them, that it was from little Steven…(not to be confused with the Bruce Springsteen L.S…) Anyway, little things like that stay with you. Fundamentally, there is a very decent human being there. It is hard to see people struggle. I wish him all the best.

  4. Call me soft, but he is a human. Granted he has probably had so many more chances than others who are addicted to get help, but deep down all addicts are the same. I know, I am one.

  5. hopefully he gets through this.he is a amazing artist and needs alot of support.keep the rock alive!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  6. You would think that people like him would learn after nearly dying.

  7. Adler having drugs on his person is news? :P

  8. Wasn’t he supposed to be playing with BulletBoys now?

  9. No not really. Adler has an Appetite for his own destruction.

  10. I’m guessing that no one is really surprised by this
