I’m so glad that you had Tony Lee to help you. He obviously loved and cared for you like you were his own son. You’re an amazing person Anthony and anybody that speaks ILL of you are ignorant. (Pietro) 🇮🇹🇮🇹🇮🇹

The most gangster **** you can do is turn your life around.. Guys in the life back then talk about how Casso had a big freebase/crack problem!

Good morning Tone. Great video, My pop was in Piscataway nj, called some kind of 1 800 number in 1996 to start the ball rolling to get clean. He ended up in an inpatient hospital in Orange County ca. He’s been clean since. I appreciate you sharing these things. Enjoy the day. (The link though, don’t forget me for next time. 😊) ✌️

Anthony: thank you for another meaningful and moving video. Complicated question: had you been happy with your life, do you think your addiction would have remained recreational rather than progressing and becoming self-destructive; or do you think your physiological response to the drugs would have led to the progression of the disease regardless of your family life/career/associates and overall level of happiness?

Hi Anthony I'm a 55 year old heroin and crack and benzo addict also a drinker, I've used every day I wasn't in prison all my friends are dead and we were a very large group of kids my girl friends beautiful Mother was murdered when she was only 16 and we all just smoked brown on foil and smoked hash I now am here with my brother 40 years later don't know what made us survive my brother has had serious cancer I have lymphoma non Hodgkin's and I'm being treated brilliantly by our awesome NHS and were fine And getting better all the time I really wish I had got clean at the age you did.what Tony Lee did saved your life and was beautiful,he must have loved you, fuxxxng big ❤

Hi Rugg, I've been a loyal listener since the beginning. Sorry for my English (I'm from Germany). If your father had found out how it all started, you think Jay would have disappeared. Thanks for the inspiration and stories. Best regards from Aschaffenburg

From what I've read or heard. Gaspipe Casso- on Coke. Roy Demeo and the Gemini twins- Coke. The twins snorted it in court.😮 Tommy D and Jimmy Burke- Coke. Tommy Karate- Coke. Charles Carneglia- Coke. All of these mob killers were on the ❄️. Makes sense to me that all of them were super violent and killers.

Hello Rugg.

Personally I think you, like most young men, want your father's love & attention, and to impress him, and what better way to do that than to be just like him. After you dropped out of school, and started committing crimes and using drugs, it sounds like since there were no consequences from the adults in your life for your actions you just kept pushing the boundaries, knowing there were none. How could your father or his friends possibly straighten you life out, and be role models, when their life was crime and murder as well.
