You think it’s just not learning?Wow...didn't learn from that last mess??
I've gotten a little better in a lot of ways but I've struggled with what would probably be called excessive drinking. I don't say that to get sympathy for it because it's a common problem for many people but everyone has issues. I think it's why I had a hard time viewing his domestic issue with a straight mind. I've never and will never put my hands on a woman but when I heard that alcohol was a problem for not just him but her as well I was like oh God who knows what the hell happened. It's extremely unfortunate. Some people aren't themselves when they abuse alcohol. I really hope it works out for him and he veers more towards Tootoo and Clune than Ribeiro. I'm actually kind of afraid to know where Ribeiro is right now.It's not easy for a lot of people to quit. At this point I'm not worried about his hockey career, he just needs to get his life back on track.
Makes me wonder what incident got him tossed. They didn't mention any kind of public incident.
It doesn't really matter what it is, lots of people are addicted to lots of things, and it's hard to quit even if you know its destroying you.I've gotten a little better in a lot of ways but I've struggled with what would probably be called excessive drinking.

Yeah I feel you there. It's a weird thing. I don't know anything different as far as abusing stuff other than alcohol. I don't smoke cigs or weed despite living in two states where the latter is legal. I don't do drugs. I don't like taking pills, etc. It's hard to comprehend why it happens but it does. Like you said earlier it could easily be some mental demon that is pretty much a solely personal issue with him. Ten years ago I'd probably be like this guy is a letdown and good riddance. Now I just hope he's okay.It doesn't really matter what it is, lots of people are addicted to lots of things, and it's hard to quit even if you know its destroying you.
He may also have some other underlying issue that makes it worse, and some other things that need to be fixed. Alcohol for lots of people is a way to get those demons in your head to stop talking. It drove my drinking in college far more than " being cool " ever did, and no one but me knew it.
I don't know if you're referring to my post but I didn't say I don't understand it. I just don't comprehend why it affects some people, like myself for example, more dangerously than most others. Or why certain substances are desired by some addicts whereas others aren't. It's just a weird thing.If you don't understand why this could happen then you have never really had to face addiction. I feel for the guy and his family and hope he is better able to manage his addiction one day.

Isn't Ribeiro a Junior hockey coach in Nashville?I've gotten a little better in a lot of ways but I've struggled with what would probably be called excessive drinking.

He was. But I haven't heard any more about that. I know he was drawn to Nashville in the first place because Dumont still lives here and they're friends.Isn't Ribeiro a Junior hockey coach in Nashville?
The thing that sucks is a lot of players like to get after it and rip it up when they're off but unless they're a documented alcoholic no one seems to care. It's just the way it is. Subban literally just had a video on youtube for NBC where he ordered and talked about getting cocktails at a bar in Franklin (he may not have actually drank anything but NBC showed the ingredients to what he ordered). Drinking is just a part of culture to many people, especially in hockey. When someone has a problem like this it's a very hard thing to manage.I was hoping that the long break would be good for the team. Maybe too much off time wasn't what Austin needed.
