Scott Hall Hospitalized

[StevieA79]

Big Daddy Cool is taking care of Scott now I am sure he will be fine he's got the support of his buddies and that's what he needed.

Scott has lost his way, if I was Kevin Nash the first thing I would show him is how much of a zombie he looked on those videos recently at the wrestling event he stumbled into and how he needs to shape up or die.

I respect Scott as a man but it's almost like he has lost the will to live and if he's not careful he won't know what hit him. He is a walking heart attack and it won't take much more to kill him in my opinion the sad thing is I am not sure if he cares or not.

I just hope he can get out of the tunnel and get himself well again. I respect him as a performer and think he is massively underrated. I still think he could have a future in the business as a manager or a commentator if he just gets himself together.

Hopefully he does before it's too late.

Scott Hall has a choice therefore it is not a disease it's his choice because he has weak moments but he still has a choice and he knows that deep down he probably just says 'fuck it' and has a drink. If he went to a tropical island or somewhere secluded without a bar in sight and some balls he could kick his habit going cold turkey. Any alcoholic that says they can't is lying. I know people who have got themselves off drugs, drink, cigarettes and all by going cold turkey. yes it hurts like hell, no doubt it is hell but sometimes you have to get through hell to get to heaven and sometimes therapy isn't the answer sometimes you have to use tried and tested techniques the mind is a powerful fucking thing. I didn't need councilling or medication when I lost my mother all I needed was time to mourn and pull myself together you can do that with anything. Again the right attitude can do wonders but of course people believe these days they need medication for this, that and the other depressions the latest one don't even get me started on depression jesus.

You can take or leave a drink. All it boils down to is people losing the will to live they cross the line and they don't care whether they choke on vomit or not in their sleep again they get to the 'fuck it' point and all hope of them getting through the turmoil and beating the addiction has gone again. It's sad when people get like that but it's just them being weak and feeling sorry for themselves they are lost in a world of self pity.

Drinking is a habit that can be kicked by anyone with the right attitude and willpower and anyone that says otherwise is a low down drunk with a weak mindset. I know many people who drank themselves to death too no it doesn't hurt them but what about the family they leave behind? That's the act of a coward in my opinion.

Sorry but that's my opinion you can clean up your act if you WANT to but sadly not many people REALLY want to. It just takes balls and mental strength to go through the hell of giving up the addiction or go through mourning as I have said. Hell if Eminem can kick an addiction anyone can he was one of the biggest pill poppers on the planet for a couple of years.

I just hope it's not too late for Scott. Maybe he's missing being one of the boys too much, maybe deep down it's really getting to him not having wrestling in his life anymore.

There are millions of people in worse health than Hall who 1) haven't been as priviliged as him and 2) who's illness isn't self-inflicted. I'll save my sympathy for them.

Alcoholism isn't self-inflicted. At least that's what they say.

I agree with SteviaA79. You may be a Scott Hall mark, fan, whatever. I'm sure nobody really wants to see him go further down the hole, but if he doesn't want to, nobody / nothing can help him. I'm sure his friends are trying their best to set him right.

How can you say you respect the man and then post abour how he's weak and should kick the habit.

Whilst I agree with everything you say on the subject of alcoholism (you were agreeing with me after all) it just seems those posts contradict each other.

How is it not?

I like a drink. When I was younger I probably drank enough to be considered an "alcoholic" but at no point did I become addicted, at no point did I or do I need a drink.

At some point Hall needs to realise he can't keep doing this shit. If this was Average Joe in the street (literally in some cases) nobody would give a damn. But they do because Scott Hall used to be somebody in wrestling. Worse still, he could have been so much more...but you don't put your World Title on an addict (unless you're TNA).

It's weird, I was smoking mad chronic everyday (spending $40 a day) and if it wasn't around, I couldn't do anything. I'd have no desire to do anything. I would say I was dependant on it. I would sleep in until 3pm, feel all depressed and end up scoring a sac later in the evening to feel better, to get in the mood. Rinse and repeat

But then I went to go see my dad for his wedding so I was away from it.

I came back from the trip and had no desire to smoke anymore. I even found some leftovers from a secret stash I kept in a box. But the desire to smoke was gone for some reason.

As for alcohol, I would always crack open a beer as soon as I left the liquor store parking lot. I couldn't wait til' I got home to start drinking. Nowadays, I have no desire to drink anymore. This new liquor store just opened near my place. I have yet to check it out.

Don't get me started on opiates though. Totally different ball game.
