Thanks to Eddie Cheslock for passing this along...

From Nickla Roberts (Baby Doll):

Thought I would let all of you know what happened last month to my exhusband and the father of my two girls...

As most of you know, Sam has had an ongoing battle with drug and alcohol abuse. It is the reason why we got divorced in 1994. During the last 10 years he has had an average of 2 DUI arrests per year. I know of 4 vehicles that he totalled (every accident he walked away from). There were other vehicles but I do not have all the info...

Everytime he was arrested, his dad would pay the fine, or use his influence and leverage with the judge or court officers to get his son out with little or no consequences... I know in his heart that Griz thought he was doing the right thing for his son but it was the all wrong..

After all this time it finally caught up with him. Mother's Against Drunk Driving got ahold of Sam's records, including everytime he had been in trouble whether it was in the Carolina's, Texas or Louisiana. They were going to the newspapaer and expose Sam's arrest history and how nothing had been done time and time again. They were ready to supply the names of the judges, lawyers, probation officers etc...that had let Sam go on with no consequences for driving while drunk, high or both...

It was just a matter of time before Sam would kill someone..

Thanks to the Lord that tragedy never happened. Sam had a court date the first week of August for a drunk driving arrest that had occured earlier this year outside New Orleans. Griz took him to the court but Sam could not stand without weaving and he smelled like he had been drinking a lot.. The deputies arrested him on the spot and told him they were not going to waste the judges' time..Griz spent the rest of the day at the courthouse begging them to let Sam go. This time it did not work. Sam had another court appearance two weeks later. This judge had been given the information MADD had collected on Sam and his wreckless behavior. The judge sentenced him to 10 years...

My Dad was an alcoholic. The last 35 years of his life he stayed sober through the AA program. Dad helped a lot of other alcoholics and substance abusers stay sober by following the 12 steps...

My Dad said that Sam would end up in jail, institutionalized or dead if he kept drinking. Dad was right.

My heart goes out to Sam... 10 years is a very long time. Griz should have made his son face the courts and the consequences of the laws he had broken at the time they had occured. I cannot imagine how he feels with a 10 year sentence. We have not seen Sam since the day after Terry Funk's retirement show in Amarillo. Jake wrestled on the card and Griz, Jake and Sam drove to Lubbock to see Mikka and Mikala play soccer. It was about 9 or 10 years ago.

Please keep Sam in your thoughts and prayers..

Nickla

That's compassionate. It's a disease and some people struggle with that shit. Don't judge if you don't know.

I do feel bad for him and Jake both. The one I have no compassion for is Grizzly. He has apparently ruined a lot of lives.

My hearts not bleeding for the guy, but I'm not gonna act like LFV and judge him as evil because he couldn't clean himself up.

At least if Sam reads this he'll see the ad for Temecula Rehab Services.

You know what? Fuck the whole "acoholism is a disease" bullshit. You have to be on any drug a certain amount of time before you become addicted. That's your concious decision to take that shot, drink that beer, etc. I don't care what's politically correct, being a druggie and having lupus ain't the same fuckin thing.

Now, I won't condem the guy to hell for fucking up his life, but I also wouldn't let him slide on the whole "he's the victim" argument.

It's been scientifically proven that tendency towards addiction is hereditary. Some people can never take a drink or they will be caught, seriously, not even one drink. Now that person sees social drinkers and thinks he can do the same. He's screwed. I'm not completely calling the drinker a complete victim, but if you think that person can just buck up and kick the habit....well, you haven't seen much in your life.

The thing is: Its still their choice. It's not as if alcohol was POURED down their throat. The choice was theirs. I refuse to see them as a victim.

I didn't say see them as a victim, I said see them as a person with no control over their condition. In a sense, you're right. My Grandmother is a junkie, my mom was an addict, and my dad is an alcoholic. After the crap I saw, I decided to never touch any of that stuff, and well, I'm not addicted to anything except maybe coffee. However, you can't just write someone off as scum because they get trapped in a situation they never saw coming. Trust me, very few people set out be a junkie.

I'm not writing them off as a person. I'm saying I refuse to feel bad for them. Even if they didn't set out to do it, and even if they didn't see it coming, they still had the choice to avoid it entirely. Not trying to belittle your family story you just told, because I find it tragic (because one of my best friends was in a very simaliar situation, I sympathize). I'm just saying that I'm not going to feel bad for someone who ruined thier own life with things they knew could well do just that.
yeah, i'm alive.

That's cool. I think you'd probably feel differently if you had loved ones in that situation, but hey, I'm glad that you don't. Like I said before though, there is no excuse for him continuing to drive drunk over and over. For that, he deserves jail.

That's what I'm saying man. You saw that in your family, you're smart enough to deal with it in a smart and positive manner. Every important male in my life has been an alcoholic, and that is their fault. Like LFV said, they took the drink. So what if they're more genetically inclined? That's all the more reason for them not to be fuckwits. Like you, like me.
