Starting illicit drugs at 14 makes the path to sobriety incredibly difficult. Canceling his upcoming shows and appearances, DMX stated his commitment to putting his sobriety first and to turning his life around.Īlthough DMX tried many times to remain sober and stay on track with his recovery, it seems he was set up for failure. As a result of this, DMX entered treatment several times in an attempt to regain control over his life. He had overdosed and a medic had to administer Narcan (a medication used to treat opioid overdoses). In 2016, the rapper was found unconscious in a parking lot in Yonkers, New York. Why would you do that to somebody who looks up to you?”. DMX expressed his continued upset with Ready Ron for doing this in an interview saying, “why would you do that to a child? He knew how I looked up to him.
DMX CRACK ADDICTION 2012 CRACK
Ready Ron offered DMX a joint laced with the crack when he was only 14 years old and that was the beginning of the end. Once DMX met Ready Ron, however, this all changed. Before meeting his mentor Ready Ron, DMX had never smoked a cigarette, weed, or used any sort of drugs. In November 2020, the rapper shared that the first time he ever used crack cocaine was when he was 14 years old. DMX and His AddictionĭMX has always spoken openly about his struggle with substance abuse and the role it played in his life. This blog discusses DMX’s battle with addiction and how it got to the point of overdose. Regardless of this, it may seem unclear how DMX to this point in his addiction after seeking treatment and trying to stay committed to his recovery. In the US, in the 12-month period ending in May 2020, over 81,000 deaths were caused by a drug overdose. Seeing someone so talented fall victim to overdose is tragic, however, not particularly surprising. If you’re part of the recovery community, hearing about DMX’s death is disheartening.
Although the details of the overdose are unconfirmed, DMX had a history of struggling with addiction, namely to crack cocaine, for which he went to treatment. I’m considering writing up a blog to talk about our journey to minimalism and trying live plastic free, among many other things we’d like to do.Rapper DMX (real name Earl Simmons) died at 50 on April 9th following a heart attack caused by a drug overdose. Thank you for all that you are doing! Enjoy your blog a lot, but now I’m going to read it even more! We’re trying to find a way to incorporate this into his existing project. The solution would have been to bring awareness about our plastic consumption. While this great, it will get all trashed up again. He does have a restoration project at a park in NYC, removing garbage – guess what? – plastic-everything from neglected park grounds. If we had seen this documentary earlier, my son, who is about to become and Eagle Scout, would have done an awareness campaign for his required Eagle service. We are taking this all the way… this year had already embarked on a journey to minimalism, and now NO MORE PLASTIC! No more! My husband is on board too! In the meanwhile having a ton of wonderful canvas bags in our utility closet and access to old newspapers for our doggy messes.
But we still used plastic bags for groceries and would reuse to pick up our dogs’ “mess”. I’ve been trying for years to use as little plastic as possible for health reasons (I suffered from Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome years ago), mostly with things that had to do with food. My heart is still pounding, so is my son’s who is almost 18 years old.
We are angry and in complete disbelief about how far we’ve gone in being careless about our consumption.
