In his note, he explains that he's been a sober member of AA for two years and that his LOA is to recommit himself to sobriety.

Is anyone else just a little bit tired of watching high-profile types blaming drugs and alcohol for their behavior?

Don't they realize how fucking retarded it sounds to say, "Hey I did this stupid thing because I did another stupid thing, so it's not my fault!"
