It may have started as taking medication for illness, but he went to rehab for a benzo addiction (xanax if I remember correctly). Benzos are notoriously difficult to wean off of, a true addiction almost necessitates medical professionals to help you taper off, because it can kill you if you get off them too quickly.

Anyone who criticizes anyone else for being addicted to drugs is someone who doesn’t understand how addiction works. This guy is a fucking shitbag and deserves to be made fun of for spreading an insidious and malicious message, but that has nothing to do with his addiction.
