So he’s in the industry now 🤦♂️
Just some observations from those around me who've struggled with addiction.
I agree with the first and second sentences, but not the third.
There are things of course that can start an addict on the path of sobriety without their heart in it, a plea deal that keeps them out of jail/prison, losing custody of their kids if they don't get sober, etc..., and once treatment is started, it can get them to a place where they truly want sobriety. But long term, it's not going to work unless they decide that's what they want. That's only the beginning.
I don't believe an addict using shows they don't want to be better. For many, they do. It's simply incredibly difficult to make that change for some people.
It's not just quitting the drugs. They lose their social circle, have to face head on all the problems they've created and ignored, get and keep a job, re-earn the trust of family and their sober friends, none of which trust them at first, and they have to change their mindset and habits, and stop making excuses.
It's what needs to be done, and quite frankly, some don't have the ability to do that. It's of course possible, but simply very, very difficult for some if they don't already have a lot of self control.
Totally agree with this. Alcoholic here. November 12th I'll be 6 years alcohol free. The months leading up to me finally breaking free from it, back in 2017, had you told me I was about to achieve what I have, I would have probably laughed in your face. Everything changed the minute I took responsibility for my actions.
I've got so much beef with that mentality they beat into addicts, the "it's not you it's the disease" bullshit. I'm not going to argue with anyone here about wether or not it is, I have my beliefs and you can have yours, but drumming that into addicts just gives them a reason to slip up in my opinion. It takes the responsibility off of them.
By now Nico has all the data required to know exactly what happens if he carries on down the road he's on. It's not going to get better. He's not suddenly going to find a way to live a normal life and keep using at the same time. This is his reality. He has to decide if the consequences are worth the drug. If they are and he carries on, what will be, will be. That's his choice to make.
Oh give the old tough guy act a break now. We all know you Vitards are going to be the first ones to welcome Nico into your homes when he gets out in 2025. Give him a bike to ride, a place to stay, and even an allowance in exchange for giving pointers to little Son Johnny. You might laugh at this or snap back, but mark this post because it WILL happen.

Like there are no drugs in jail 😅 do you really think he wasn't using in prison to, because they are just as easy to get in jail as on the street.
Some of us get tired of your posts. Hey just jokes people
Regardless, does not support any of his actions and he just sit there for a while.
Hope he gets the help he needs, hope he makes amends for all the wrong he has done, hope I don’t ever hear about “a comeback” again, hope he lives the rest of his life trying to be the best person he can.
no way! Izzi isn't 6',6" is he!?! i don't think he is. So either the cops calibration is off on that height measurement wall behind him. Or the photo is a photo of someone else that looks like nico. i don't know. does anyone know his actual height?
Look again. You'll figure it out.
That might have been one of the nicest replies to an obvious mistake ever. Good on ya!!
That needs to change. There needs to be NO drugs in prison. It would give every inmate a fresh start each time they're released.
The way it is now, an addict goes to prison, keeps using, then leaves prison and keeps using, then gets arrested, and returns. I know that there's help in prison for those who want to get sober, but WTH? Why are we allowing drugs in prison? What upside could there possibly be?
Drugs aren't issued....its called smuggling.
I understand that, and that the guards obviously turn a blind eye.
In the Gypsy podcast with Davi this past week he mentioned Izzi just overdosed on fentanyl recently when they were talking about his era of riders like Izzi, Stroupe, Litchle, etc. This era of racers got caught up in some shit, for sure... Glad it seems to be less common now.
I think it was that there was a patch of little deros who happened to be fast as shit. Plenty of racers from that era didn't turn into junkies.
Sorry to hear this, did he pass away or just OD?
That was one of the better podcasts, Davi tell all basically.
I loved how Davi put it "the guys before us were just doing white powder and green and today they're absolutely fine".
It just shows how destructive the pharmaceutical industry is it's criminal.
Pit Row
Yeah you can say that, that said I don't think it's a coincidence that Legal Dr prescribed drugs took them out, like Davi said the guys who just did illegal drugs and smoked weed are still around today, and no I don't condone either, just saying those pain meds seem worse than Heroin.
If it makes you feel any better it's completely untrue. Drugs as easy to get in jail as on the streets lmao! Good one
They are heroin.
As far as I know he’s still alive.
Stroup ODd? I thought Davi said Izzi? Maybe I missed it.
I'm sure everyone will say Stroupe is a POS junkie and who cares but kinda fucked up for Milsaps to put that out there about him. Not really his place to tell everyone that
Didn’t hear anything about Stroup OD. Davi said Izzi…
He said Izzi, not Stroupe OD on fentynal. Go to the 4 minute mark.
My understanding is Stroupe is ok nowadays. Guy who mentioned Stroupe OD'ing should delete his post.
yeah for sure. if you see stroupe's social media it appears he is sober & has been for a good minute!
Agreed. Thats why I was confused. Had to go back and listen again. Dude needs to delete that post ASAP.
For the record, I didn't say they're as easy to get in jail as they are on the street. But I have heard from people that there are drugs in prison. I've also heard that there are drug treatment programs available for those who want to get sober, but it's not mandatory.
What part of that isn't true? I'd love to believe that drugs are scarce in prison. Tell us what you know!
