CHRISTOPHER STEVENS: A pop star addict's painful story?I'd rather hear how his wife copes

www.dailymail.co.uk, May 18, 2023
CHRISTOPHER STEVENS: As Matt Willis (pictured) chronicles his encounters with alcohol and opioids, it seems that the infantilization of a pop star's life was doing him no favours. He attributed his childhood, his genes, and his career to his career. 'Is there a physical explanation,' he pleaded, 'something in my head that makes me different?' He went in search of evidence to back this up, from academic and therapists whose work is to support addicts in a variety of ways to offload responsibility for their relapses. He told us that the last time he lost control was on tour when someone gave him cocaine. I'm a 40-year-old man with a wife and three children, and I can't see that chanting 'It's not my fault.' The documentary began at a good time as Matt's wife, TV presenter Emma, revealed a diary detailing his alcohol use. At first, it seemed that the programme would not be focusing on an addict's self-absorption but rather on the terrible toll suffered by his family.
