Never obsessed with Moby. Enjoyed his popular tunes. I had no idea he was so into hard drugs. Glad he is sober now.

[@bezzarguy]

I love it when they talk sobriety. I can so relate to Moby's "bottom". I hit that place and just stayed there for years. I would ask God why can't I just die? I felt like life was a cruel joke and I was destined to suffer forever. Thankfully I got sober and have stayed sober for years. I can honestly say I am content now.

When my mom was dying from cancer she woke up enough to ask my dad and I, who are all these people in the room? My dad and I looked at each other, we were the only ones in the room. I've heard this is quite common with people on their death bed.

I had a near death experience in the hospital and I hallucinated that Hillary Clinton and Condoleeza Rice were in the hospital room with me. Bizarre

Crazy! I always thought Moby was straight edge, but I do recall learning about his problem with alcohol. I had no idea he was that much of a hard core partier.

[@ryanjacobson2508]

Musicians have an earlier date of death than most other occupations.... Probably because of all the down time + the fact that the music industry tolerates and makes excuses for abysmal behavior and unprofessionalism.

Man. I love Moby so much I cannot explain. Never took much interest in him as an individual celebrity, but when I was 12 someone bought me the MOBY:PLAY album, and I would fall asleep every night listening to it. It was my place of serenity. For whatever reason, my brain has become attuned to it. Hearing him talk, and be who he is, gives me more confidence that he's a really chill dude just mesmerized by the reality of life.

The ‘Vegan For Life’ philosophy is kind of funny and somewhat sad since the ‘animal’ Moby treated the worst was essentially himself. It’s nice to see that he has included himself in that act of kindness …

[@jennyortega7018]

This comment is profound for me. I was vegan for 13 years and I feel that putting all beings before myself was always the ongoing theme of all the choices I made. I questioned if I could truly be loving and kind if I did not do this. Recently I have been focusing more on the heart chakra and I've learned being in martyrdom is being out of balance in your heart. Turns out to neglect yourself while loving and serving others isn't really love after all.

[@williamirving9977]

I agree with you completely … self and non-self are just an illusion. In loving self, one is helping everyone and vice versa. Severe drug addiction is essentially an act of violence against the self. I’m glad he is doing better …
