I know I could have written my thoughts in another post or whatever but I have to do this! I'm devastated that Artie left the show, obviously. Hell, even my mother is and shes a 60 year old woman. I don't think he is coming back. I don't even think Howard would allow him to come back from the way it sounded. Can you imagine what will happen to him without the show? He'll get bored, that leads to relapse. Actually, I have little doubt that wont happen if it hasn't already. I love Artie, and I'm worried about him. Even if I don't know him personally.
In a lot of ways I relate to him. I was a drug addict, actually only 2 months clean. But still, he believes he's a bad person even if he isn't. Thats extremely sad. He has bottled everything that has happened in his life up until he exploded. He usually could kill it with dope, but without it... this was bound to happen without therapy or talking to someone religiously about your problems. I've gotten to to point of break down where I would beat the shit out of a wall until my knuckles with black and blue and swollen. I would have rather done that than talk to anyone. This is his way of lashing out.
On a lighter note, I should take his place if he does stay away. Lets face it, I'm the female version of him except for the fact that he outweighs me by 200lbs and I'm 17 years younger. But come on, ex-junkie, I've had MANY loads on my chest and I'm great with one liners that make people laugh during a conversation. What more could you ask for?
I'm kidding, of course. I just really hope he comes back. I don't think I could watch/listen without him.
I wonder if they'll show it on demand? Anyone know?

The chances that they will show this on Howard TV are next to none. They went into crisis mode by banning the replay. I think it would be much more damaging (if that's what they are afraid of) to show it on TV. On the other hand, there will be a backlash from fans at some point, and Howard may have to succumb to the pressure. Of course, if Artie does happen to come back, I'm sure he'd gladly give his blessing to show it. That's the kind of guy he is.
Yeah, it's sad, and I think everyone is worried about him. Howard was very right that Artie needed to see someone to work through his shit. We all knew he was a ticking time bomb. I'm afraid the worst is yet to come, though.
In a lot of ways you can probably predict better than a lot of people what's going to happen since you are coming from a similar place. It's really a shame to watch someone throw it all away. Well, at the end of the day, we can only have a responsibility to ourselves. It's especially true for Artie who won't take help from anyone.

Well my predictions are... either he comes to the realization that he truly ends help and goes for it (as I did), or he'll eventually end up dead. I hate to say that but is it the truth. Those really are the only two options he has at this point. But he'll have to come to that realization on his own, it does seem like he is stubborn so it may take him longer or until it's really too late. Getting off dope can cause insanity, as we seen yesterday. He needs to see someone, talk through his problems and cry like he's never cried before.
I wish him luck.
