Actually, Susan, I don't think this thread will be a wake up call for anyone. People do not recognize what they are doing to themselves. My mother is a diabetic and an alcoholic. She is the only person who can not see that she is drinking too much. My father, who is usually pretty disengaged, even made a point of going in to talk to the doctor about her problem. It will kill her but there is nothing anyone can do about it.

I expect the band members mentioned above are doing the same thing.
