Their Own Way of Sober Support
For a band with such a long history, it’s no surprise that the Rolling Stones are no stranger to sex, drugs, and rock & roll. The band has been notorious for its drug use, namely Keith Richards (pictured right) and Ron Wood (pictured left). Have you heard about the guy who tried to beat his heroin habit via blood transfusion? Yup, that was Richards. Who needs sober support when you can do it the “easy “way? This myth has been shot down and addiction can’t be beat that easily. Wood was so bad at peak that Richards even tried to step in to stop the drug use. As the guitarist recalls, Richards once pulled a gun on him to confront him about his drug use!

Does Ronnie Wood Needs a Drug Intervention?
Now that they are in their late 60’s, one would think that the aging Stones have settled in their rock & roll ways. This isn’t the case. A drug intervention has never really been considered seriously by the band and you can see how this has affected their lives. Richards has been recently concerned about Wood as his drinking has affected his personal life. Wood left his wife of over 26 years, for a much younger model. Just last month, Wood was arrested on charges of assaulting his new lady friend. Sources cite Wood’s erratic behavior to his drinking. Yeah, things seem to be working out real well for him…

Relapse Prevention with Keith Richards
News just broke that Keith Richards has given up drinking… for now. In 2006, Richards fell out of a tree while partying and received a serious head injury. Since then, he has fully recovered and is rethinking his drinking ways. I guess it just goes to show you that it’s never too late to stop drinking. In the meantime, Richards should be focused on getting Wood back into an effective relapse prevention program, which he truly needs.
