RIP Philip Seymour Hoffman

Addiction is a hard thing to manage. I know because my brother is an addict. You can get clean but you're never free. The man was clean for 23 years before falling into his addiction cycle after a surgery where his MD gave him pills which led to his snorting heroin in 2012. After a stint in rehab he was clean for about a year and checked in to rehab in May of 2013. Sadly this time it killed him. He can't be blamed for his lack of trying but i have to say for a wealthy actor, living in NY was probably not a good choice for him. Too much temptation everywhere. No matter what he was a great actor and developing talent as a director. This isn't a sad day for us or him today. it's a sad day for his 3 children who now have no father and for his remaining family. He will be missed.
