And here's the problem demonstrated. You'll have everyone screaming "I didn't choose to be an addict. I was born into it!!!" Anything to deflect the reality that our choices and their consequences belong to us alone.
Unless you're born with an addiction because your mom shot heroin while pregnant, you chose the lifestyle.
As far as I can see, Tom was an aspiring canadian entertainer in pro wrestling and certainly chose the cringe trailer park wigger aesthetic. And if he developed a substance abuse problem he chose that too.
The thing about owning our own choices... if Tom has now kicked his substance abuse, that victory can also belong to him. Otherwise, neither the successes or failures are our own.
OK, but he wasn't born into the aesthetic either. Here he is before choosing it. Plenty of people are born into the culture of Vancouver who don't choose this look so I'm just not sure how you figure he "didn't adopt this lifestyle".
Well Tom didn't adopt this lifestyle to reach anyone. He was born into this lifestyle and he's screaming about the problems in it.

I'm not talking about the addiction. I'm talking about the culture. The look is how things are for some folks.
