Pete Doherty interview on prison, losing friends to addiction and Brexit

As someone with experience heroin, and I think, possibly methadone has that effect, I really should have googled this but I heard years back that it tightens the skin, and when you get clean from it for a substantial time your skin will look more like it's age...probably a load of bs

Back in the day, I wasn't really a Libertines fan, but ended up at a secret gig Pete did at the Boogalloo in Highgate. Just him with his guitar and his mate with one snare drum, and about 40 people in the audience. They played for over 3hrs, sat on bar stools, and were absolutely brilliant. I realised that night is misjudged him - I'd read the headlines and thought he was just a hyped-up junkie. I was wrong. Very very talented lad - and such effortless charisma. He won my respect. Good luck to him

When you first see him, his outward appearance is pretty striking. But when you listen to him for a few moments, there’s something so so young and such a youthful energy to him. He has a genuine and pure heart that manifests out. I’m glad he’s doing well. The world loves to demonize and ridicule addiction, until that person dies. Then it’s “so tragic, how heartbreaking... they were so young, so amazing so talented”. I hope moving forward we become more informed and compassionate. I’m so pleased to see him keep creating and working. Love you Pete.

I stopped paying attention to Pete Doherty about 10 years ago despite my love for the Libertines, and watching this interview makes me remember why -- it's really sad to see someone battle addiction to hard drugs. I'm happy he's alive and still has a creative mind intact, and I hope he lives much longer. I don't judge addicts; they're at war with their mind and body constantly.

[@ooolrait]

absolute respect for that last sentence.

[@kbg7822]

Sadly, as with most chronic addicts their brains are left with 'holes' in them. They struggle with sounding comprehensive, they struggle with self-forgiveness. Their teeth are terrible, they age prematurely. I wish addicts, no matter how many friends and family have cut them off, start with self-forgiveness. Addiction is a terrible curse, but it's an illness. Own your behaviour, apologise, but commit to loving yourself no matter what. When you are kind to yourself you'll see how the world falls in line with you. It breaks my heart to see the monster of self-loathing and shame weigh down on a life. Go well Pete.

Pete is going thru the worse part now when your body is clear of drugs & you have to deal with your emotions which have been lying dormant while your using, very difficult this is when most people start using again as you cry/laugh for no reason, feelings of guilt tear u apart then u have to learn how to live in the real world all over again i'm nearly 60yrs old I used for over 30 yrs I'm just getting my life together now it's really hard, I've done lots of detox's but I done it cold turkey this time felt like I was dying, some days I wished I would die, just wish I'd stayed clean yrs ago when I was younger as it's so much harder the older you get if only we could turn back time , good luck pete take it from an old timer it's not worth it to go backwards again.

We should really look at Sweden, low crime rate and they don't send criminals to prison for petty crime, they go to correction facilities and not many of them re-offend from the statistics, it's society in the UK that wants to see everyone locked up and then prisons get overcrowded so the solution to the problem is to build more prisons, but unless society's thinking changes there will be no change and so we will go on to continue to fail and waste more money, 36k a year it costs to accommodate a prisoner in the UK, our average wage for workers is less than half of that

I'm 35 and finally have a proper career, my own home, a new car and better than all that... the respect, love and close relationship of my family. Anyone who sees methadone as "trading one addiction for another," is seeing it in the wrong light. Like the insulin analogy... do people scoff at diabetics and look down on them, referring to them as "insulin addicts?" Years of drug use changes the way your brain functions. That's plain, proven science. Your brain stops producing certain chemicals because it's come to rely on your use of drugs (in my case, opiates) to produce them. If taking methadone is what my brain needs to properly function and allows me to be a productive and responsible member of society, a present and attentive parent, a loving and caring daughter and a reliable and hard working employee, why must there be such stigma associated with it? I love hearing methadone success stories. Congratulations on your sobriety!!

Doing well!? Eek. He’s out of his skull, probably in black out during this filming. I hope he finds sobriety before it’s too late.

Someone will say 'I don't want to loose you, I don't want to loose you like that'. But there's just something in me that, I don't know, it's just this mad soldier inside me who never crys who never gets upset, you know? and nothing can kill him. I know exactly what he is talking about here, it's this stoic figure inside me that no matter how low I get hes always there to pick me up.

Warwick Davis, John Barrowman, Pamela Anderson, saw a panel for the game of thrones cast and met them after, Alyson Hannigan, Hayley Atwell. I also met Geri Halliwell in a park lol. Bradley from s club 7 😂. The list goes on a bit. Pete was just incredibly nice and polite and actually a bit shy.

I grew up going to see his gigs a lot. In 2005 I think I saw him 5 or 6 times. Brilliant songwriter. Looking at him now. Him and Carl were the people I used to look up to. Dressed like how they did. Same haircut. Now seeing how grey he is, makes me realise I’m only actually 6 years younger than him. Time catches up quick

[@shawnpeacock1037]

As someone who has suffered addiction this is heart breaking....the mans a genius and he's managed to hold on to that genius despite being a struggling addict. Jim Morrison lost his mojo to addiction, that's what i think killed him in the end. The day a genius becomes a mere mortal its like superman losing his powers, death comes shortly after. I hope this doesn't happen to Pete. the last true rock and roll star.

The sad thing in this world is that all the comments want to discuss the state he is in/ or has been in/ or his skin YET no one wants to comment on the beauty of the song he sings at the beginning that is riddled with Poetry.
