The fact that they made it out alive from such carnage is a miracle - as many do not get to do so having succumb to their addictions

[@MSouth-jr1wu]

Shame same can't be said for Mark Blanco.

[@thelaughingpandicorn2023]

Watch his whole series 2 interview where he does talk about Mark Blanco and has regrets about things on that night. Instead of some people downing Peter like they do. Listen to his interview with Louis. He will see he is a very sensitive and has a very loving soul in him.

[@kirstie7187]

He is still an addict...Alcohol

[@MSouth-jr1wu]

@@thelaughingpandicorn2023 it's not about regret. It's about the criminal justice system and the fact him and his crony acted with impunity. He can regret at all he wants- but he should have stood trial. I saw the interview, he was-at best- evasive.

Well done Pete, great seeing you clean 👍

[@ShaunyBaby93]

Many assume addicts as heartless when in reality it's quite the opposite. A heart in pain craves that love and drugs(or whatever gives you that joy) can be very deceptive

[@user-hg6vd2iz7m]

so well put but the irony is it’s inside the heart anyways, don’t need to go searching for it at any time. i was about to say they dont teach us anything like that in school but honestly they probably too in some way and even if they do who says someone will listen.

[@Vardagsvegan1]

Carl Barat sounds so much more out of it than he usually do.

[@JC-jr9hw]

Indeed, don’t forget he hit it pretty hard with substances for a long time as well. Not as hard as Pete, but he was no angel.

[@TempleOfTheMartyrs]

PETE DOERTHY IS A HUGE INFLUENCE IN OUR BAND SOUND

[@TheVeiledCollective]

Not everyone realises how difficult and how dangerous alcohol addiction is (i do...i did). Imo it was worse than the stone and the marching powder. There is still an ongoing conversation to change the wording of the 'drugs and alcohol' test in the work place to 'alchohol and other drugs'. And rightly so. The hardcore booze drug is so normalised in society, that when you talk to people about the madness of it being available everywhere....people look at you like YOURE the lunatic. You go into work and say "I'm not feeling the best, had a skinful last night watching the tele"...and people laugh. You go into work and say "I'm not feeling the best, had a few lines last night watching the tele"....and you're fired.

[@jamesdavies5266]

Brilliance

[@TM-pz2ue]

Alcohol addiction is up there with opiates and benzos, far worse than addiction to any of the other illegal drugs. It also makes people behave far worse than other drugs do, you don’t see people fighting, pissing and puking in the streets due to anything but alcohol. People who claim to be against drugs while swilling that poison irritate me.

[@The_New_Abnormal_World_Order]

Ppl don't realise they have a problem because they're 'just doing what everyone else does.'

[@youreatoilet]

This is what drives me nuts about cannabis still being illegal in so many places where alcohol is legal. Yes weed has the potential to trigger psychosis and mental health problems and also smoking anything is bad for you, but when compared to the problems booze can cause both physically and mentally, weed really doesn't deserve the stigma and legal status it still has in so many places. In the UK its almost perfectly acceptable to be in a pub drinking pints on pints and doing lines of gear in the toilet but someone smoking a joint in the park is treated like a low-life and a criminal, partly because it has an offensive smell, but also due to years of a false stigma. Ultimately, adults should be able to do whatever they want with their bodies and not have to fear legal consequences for what they consume as long as they aren't driving, operating machinery or being a nuisance in public (which ironically alcohol is one of the worst ones for and is completely legal!)

[@markc_afc2357]

[@jerrymedina1973]

Salutations to Pete and Carl … I’ve been there . ✊🏼

[@really_rebecca]

I watched the interview and it’s sad as Pete is quite clearly still in active addiction but it’s with alcohol - swapping one addiction for another. And I feel for him because I’m recovering (8 months sober from alcohol now). I think he is a very lost and lonely in his head… such an intelligent guy but with that you can become your own worst enemy. He clearly needs a lot of therapy but I also think he needs to get completely sober from substances so that he can focus on his mental health and wellbeing. He’s in the right place in France away from the partying.

[@DistrictWitch]

some of us just never get out of the pit and some of us do. I've been taking bupe for years, still drink too much, dunno what to do really - it's ok when you're rich af and can f off to a nice tropical island for a month or so - the NHS addiction treatment stuff is bottom of the bin hell lol.

Haha, Carl sooo wanted Peter to say sorry, but Peter felt he himself was owed an apology, but they both want to keep the gravy train moving, so a forced hug and banter wins the day.

[@Homer1e2]

[@T1Media.ireland]

Tell that to Marc Blancos family after he was murdered by Petes gang and Pete stepped over his body running away.

[@JimmyHagerstrom]

I obviously dont know what happened, neither do you. For a heroin addict to run from a scene before the cops come is not uncommon behaviour. Not at all. That doesn't mean he's guilty or had a part in the crime. It means that he didn't want to get locked up and go Cold Turkey in a cell while the police investigated. I'm sure you dont have any experience with the drug-world but everyone has heard the true stories about junkies draging their dying friend out of their apartment and lay them on the elevatorfloor sending him down to the entrancefloor before calling an ambulance because they doesnt want trouble with the police. Your conclusion that Pete has to be a evil person with bad intentions is very weak. Judgemental.

i cannot believe the bbc would advertise this poor man saying “i m clean now”, whilst visibly sweating from alcohol addiction pills nicotine and what not. i am 20 yrs clean, went to same rehabs as he did. i touch nothing and i know i m lucky. to make people believe he is an example of clean makes me cringe. the poor wife gives him drugs to stay away from drugs! is she mad??? honestly, i m in shock.

[@kirstie7187]

Exactly he is still an addict

[@rahuldahoob]

​@@kirstie7187who?

[@exert2020]

Well I very much doubt he's doing crack or heroine. Look at the size of him. He likely takes methadone or some suppressor. He eats too much fatty food, drinks and smokes, so all that together will make him sweat. He's an addict so still needs a vice of some sort. So yeh, still a long way to go, but you can tell he's mentally in a far better place. He's always been articulate, but you can tell from his speech he's much healthier. Let's hope we see him off the booze and nice and trim in the next few years, if only for himself, his new baby and wife. We can speculate all we like I guess, but very telling when you see how he now talks and the fact he's reliable. I think Carl wouldn't be entertaining him if he was shooting up still.

[@danwebb4418]

He is a big size, he could trade rock n roll for sumo wrestling...

[@distantworld_]

they are middle aged plus to help his addiction, he is probably likely on anti-depressants and other medications, which make people gain weight

[@AlexanderMock-iv9ue]

I am a former addict and gained a lot of weight. I quit drinking, smoking cigarettes at the same time. I did other drugs too but not habitually but I did drink morning, day and night. I gained about 45 pounds after I became sober cold turkey. It’s very normal for people who quit any drug or alcohol to eat a lot more (since alcoholics and addicts tend to eat less). I never drank soda or ate sweets, but when I quit that’s all I wanted to eat.
