Official D Scott Fritchen Aggieville Creepster Thread.

DSF has worked with Fitz for nearly 20 years and has helped make him a shitton of money.

Has Fitz really made a shitton of money off GPC?

Fitz doesn't seem like he'd be the greatest money manager in the world, and he's had some health problems. I bet he's made quite a bit of money and spent quite a bit of money.

I need someone to help me understand if I should feel like a piece of crap for, and only for (not asking about any other potential moral violations, only this specific one), enjoying the theater that is DSF, his sandwich throwing, and subsequent behavior, with the understanding that I (a) don't him know, (b) will probably never know him and (c) he exists to me only as a pseudo-celebrity personality whose life I have no potential to impact.  FWIW, I feel some amount of detached empathy for his situation. I don't think I have made careless remarks about his alleged alcoholism, but I must confess I have derived enjoyment from the dramatic nature of it all.  So--is this fair game, or nah?

Pete?

the sandwich throwing, behavior, etc was all kind of funny to me and topical. i personally just got kind of bored (mildly annoyed) with the four pages worth of posts after every d scott tweet. that's just my opinion though and as always do whatever you want to do. it's just like my opinion.

The man threw a cheesesteak at a police officer. I don't give a eff about anything else. Just focus on how amazing that is.

[steve dave]

He then kicked the sandwich. That is a real life thing that happened.

The Meg Ryan alcoholic movie is "When a Man Loves a Woman". She gave an amazing performance.

In that sense, ya you can totally rest easy thinking it's funny.  The sandwich stuff was pretty funny.  I mean, I do get a chuckle thinking about what it must sound like to hear him tell the the last part of his "why I quit drinking" story.

I know this super nice lady who quit drinking, and her "last straw" was that she hit a train with her car.  The train wasn't moving.   She was just real mumped up and slammed her car into a parked train.  When she tells it, it's both sad and really funny at the same time.  I think this is like that, kinda.

What was the Michael Keaton one again?

The court calendar shows that the new first appearance is on the Monday 1pm Division 3 docket.  Unlikely to be much discussed about sandwiches thrown or kicked, unless a deal's already been worked out and a brief factual basis has to be laid out for any charge being plead to.

[MakeItRain]

i think you're setting a fairly unreasonable standard

Are you going to elaborate?

[Stevesie60]

I know someone who went to rehab and quit drinking for about a year, then started drinking again (only when he/she is out of town) but with a handle on things. Is this common? Is an alcoholic able to maintain some control after going to rehab or is it always a slippery slope in which they have far less control than they think?

[SdK]

In my experience, addicts have a progressive illness that proceeds along a set time table regardless of use. So you'll always be where you are in terms of its' severity.

I'd be curious if there is an increase in use or what if any behavior changes occur on each successive "trip out."

[SdK]

To answer your question, an addict always has far less control than they think. It could be your friend isn't an addict or the progression of his/her disease is slower than others.

Someone asked me early on in my first journey through recovery how I knew I was an addict. I replied that I didn't know or care if I was, I just knew that the previous 7 months of sobriety were the best 7 months I had had in a decade.

[SdK]

Also there is no single way to obtain serenity or to maintain sobriety. Everyone should work their own program and what works best for them. There are ways that many have used successfully. Even within them there is a fair amount of latitude. No one is an addict unless they say they are. Those that have obtained any length of recovery can see signs and stumbling blocks for those that are new to their program. Such as those that are on a pink cloud. Or those that become too sure of themselves and go back out. No addict is ready until they hit rock bottom. For some it may be getting into legal trouble for the first time, for some it may be prison, for some it may be being homeless drinking mouthwash and shitting all over themselves at a rest stop before they have had enough. For some only death will relieve them. For many, it takes more than one rehab stint to stay clean. For another many, it doesn't take going to treatment at all.

Recovery is maybe 5% about sobriety and 95% about changing the way one lives their life.

Did you tweet every day or wish you could have had access to twitter to tweet your thoughts and take pictures of pens during your recovery?

Guys - chances are that D. Scott will tweet every day regardless of what activity he's engaged in.

once you actually think about it, it's not surprising at all.

A guy with an alcohol problem and social media addiction documents his treatment on Twitter. 

[meow meow]

I think it's accurate to say if twitter had never been invented that at least one philly cheese steak would have been saved
