You can’t go to the dr and pick up a prescription of cancer.
I got the vibe from that interview that he thinks he might return to pro racing. He is 32 yrs old. The odds are definitely stacked EXTREMELY HIGH against that happening. I would love to see him racing in 2023 though if someone gives him a ride.

-I personally dont think there should be any semi pro / backhanded payment amateur athletes ever - all back handed payments should be stomped out.
It makes the kids think their shit doesn't stink and they have potential (that they probably dont have)
One thing I did find funny was how SMILEY Don was to be around Izzy. How he was proud to be bros with JLaw. I'm all for second chances, but I'm sidestepping the dudes I know like that anytime I can. I would not be pumped, nor say so, that my buddy who beat the shit out of his girl, was out of prison finally.
I grew up with a guy nearly just like Izzy. He bounced in and out of jail. No, didn't have any big $ moto deals nor even a bike. I found him passed out in the front lawn at a party probably 20 years ago. I woke him up and took him home with me. I knew his older bro and sisters. I did not sleep a wink that night that he was there. Knew him well enough, trusted him zero. He died this year from a stroke at about 45 yrs old. I liked him. Did not trust him, and no, not a good person. But damn he was a likeable guy.
Comes a time when a man needs to take responsibility for his actions , as everyone else on this planet are not considered to be your babysitter. I spilled my guts on here over 10 years ago when I lost one of my closet friends , which went down the same path as Nico , but couldn't stop. I still to this day feel guilty , as I didn't do enough , when I tried for years. I hope to God Nico finds his meaning in life , and if he does , it will be a rare thing , because most do not!

What a f*cking asshole move. I hope he gets punched in the face wherever he goes.
Pit Row
Nor does making life comfortable while they detox, for the 27th time.
An addict gets sober when they decide to get sober, for whatever reason that may be.
You can help, and just letting them know you value them is helpful in itself, but there isn't an amount you can do for someone that changes the fact that they'll get sober when they're good and ready, and won't permanently until they are.
And yes, it can happen suddenly.
Unfortunately, I know this from people extremely close to me.
I'm doing all I can, but I know that I can lose them. I don't control that.
Drugs Suck!!!!
Absolutely the dumbest sentence in this whole thread.
I'm not saying that illegal drugs are the same as caffeine or even the sensible use of alcohol...but if you're like me...I definitely have a caffeine and booze addiction. If you can imagine what life without coffee and booze would be like...then try to imagine what coming off exponentially more addicting drugs might be like.
I ain't excusing Nico's behaviour....but he went to jail and paid for his crime. He's got a clean slate...fresh start. It's on him now.
After everything I just said, I would expect him to be behind bars by this time next year....probably sooner. Sad to say but I just don't think he's learned what he should have.
