Everything like this is easy to say in hindsight. I'm not intimately familiar with how his dad helped him but it obviously wasn't easy with him being an "internet celebrity" or lolcow or whatever you want to call it. Just look at someone like bossmanjack who has been in rehab a few times already.

The thing with rehab that most people who never had to deal with this shit is that the person who goes to therapy NEEDS to want to get better.

You can 'force' them into it but what's the point if they're just going to go back to drinking/using immediately after, probably even harder because they went through a period of withdrawal they didn't want?

Alcoholism is horrible.

Once you get to a certain point with it, you can't really go cold Turkey. It fucks shit up with your brain. It's not uncommon to get seizures and even worse shit from withdrawing from it.

And even then, sometimes the alcoholism is so severe they power through it… Relevant(?) pl but someone close to me was a severe alcoholic, to the point they drank through the medication that induces vomiting if alcohol enters your system…

I'm not saying the only way to deal with alcoholism is to let it fester…

But there is such a thing as "late stage" alcoholism where it's pretty futile. That's the stage where people die.

Personally I think alcohol and alcoholism is the worst thing. Because it always starts off as having fun. Some people just can't stop once it's not fun anymore.

Like I said earlier in this thread - we can't even keep shit smearing lunatics off the streets. If Andy Ditch weren't faking he's about the only cow that could get sent off to the loony bin besides Larson and Terry Davis. Being a dysfunctional retard doesn't get you 5150'd - if it did Bluesky and Reddit wouldn't exist.
 
Just terrible. Cobra was unique and nobody will ever take his place.

Maybe people on Reddit who believe themselves morally superior while sending Josh alcohol might have a word with their conscience.

They won't, they wanted him dead because they're fucking losers with no future who are so miserable the only way to make themselves feel better is to take it out on someone who can't fight back. Everything they did, they did intentionally to harm him.

At least they'll continue to suffer in a perpetual hell of their own making while Cobra is now free. I want nothing but the worst for them for the rest of their lives.

What most people who have never had an addict or someone with severe mental health problems in their lives don't seem to realize is you literally can't force an adult to do anything unless they meet the legal criteria of being an imminent danger to themselves or others. And drugging themselves to death slowly doesn't count. "OH you should have sent him to rehab, should have sent him to a mental hospital..." ok he refuses to go nigga. what now? It's a moving car crash in slow motion and all the stupid faggots saying how you should have helped them better or differently are just saying it because they weren't the ones who had to deal with it. His dad did the best he knew how.
 
I hope Clint doesn't blame himself. He's probably thinking up scenarios where he could save saved poor Cobes. What if he hadn't gone on the Europe trip, what if he got there a few hours earlier, what if he bought Cobes a new phone, what if he'd scheduled the doctor visit a week earlier, what if...

There's no point in that line of thinking. What's happened has happened, you can't go back and change anything. Cobes made his own decisions about his health, good or ill. We all knew Cobes was a ticking time bomb and honestly with how vegetative he got towards the end I'm surprised he didn't biff it sooner.

Big ups to the man in the sky Jord Sandeaux may he party with Puff and Ozzy in the afterlife and sip some dank drink combos.

Time to get really fucking high and listen to a couple of Ozzy and Black Sabbath albums in remembrance of Cobra.
He was my first ever lolcow I was interested in and developed an autistic obsession with to learn everything about, the days where I spat out my drink laughing when he would deep fry avocados, geekin out when he thought Dani Divine sent him a custom bag of Lays, and going on incoherent rants blasted at 3 a.m. were some of the happiest times of my life.
We're all going to miss you Cobra, Gothic King Cobra, Sexy Gothic Bad Boy of Casper, Wyoming Forever.

I once spent an entire 12-ish hour mescaline trip listening to a live vocal cover stream that eventually led into him eating one of the peanuts of the "one nut challenge" set he was sent. Proba ly one of the greatest drug experiences I ever had
 
Man, he was such a fucking weirdo, but still nice to other people. My favorite kind of lolcow.

Rest in peace KingCobraJFS.
Hail Satan.
Fuck sickos.

I felt about and consumed his content in the same way. It’s going to be really fucking hard every time the next video up is a random cobra video from the algorithm, I’m not going to lie I bawled my eyes out because I was probably overly optimistic in the hopes he was still alive. After the confirmation everything just feels so fucked up. I’ve dealt with plenty of loss before but watching Josh go through something I’ve seen happen to people I knew just fucking hurts, man. I used to catch streams from his old apartment on my smart TV after work and it became kind of a ritual to just have him on as background noise almost 24/7. This all just feels so surreal.
