Oh Charlie

The Charlie Sheen drama that has been all over the TV the past couple weeks is entertaining to some and heart breaking to others.  I find it heartbreaking.  Sheen right now is like watching a speeding train just waiting to derail.  Some might think he has already derailed but I think the worst is yet to come. 

Sheen has struggled publically over the years with addiction.  But his behavior during interviews has been more and more disturbing.  I'm sure Charlie has enablers in his life when it comes to drugs and alcohol but I think the media are his enablers when it comes to his behavior.  And the crazier he acts the more popular he becomes. 

He joined twitter last week and had 100,000 followers before he even sent out his first tweet, he reaced a million followers in just days.  Two and Half Men was the most watched show on TV last week and it was a repeat.  So now his "fans" are his enablers because they are entertained by his antics.

Warner Brothers officically fired him from the show and he celebrated.  Not too many people celebrate about being unemployed but it just brings more attention to him. 

Sheen is a son and a father.  I'm afraid when this train derails Charlie's life will just be a memorial.  It's so sad to see someone so lost and out of control when God could change everything for him.
