Musician Don Spike, who was arrested on drug charges, reported on his recent situation.
Don Spike appeared on JTBC's YouTube channel 'Genre Yeouido' on the 24th.
In this broadcast, Don Spike is in the process of treatment. He is living with his family and receiving addiction rehabilitation called 'NA'. Sharing their experiences, those who are there share helpful words because they are willing to recover from the drug, and the pain that only people who have experienced this can be known to be helpful has the effect of being encouraged by the people around them." It was last done in September, 2022. It's been three years, but to be honest, I think it's like a magnet. He is already a self-indulgent person to have experienced drugs. The magnetism remains in me without disappearing", he explained.
Then "I think I can do this with my will, not creating such an environment in the first place, just as it doesn't fall when the metal sticks to the magnet, but being far away from it. I want to protect myself. It's not because you're strong-minded, but you can't cut it off with a will like the concept of disease"I'm in my late 40s, but I feel like I've been reset. Everything that has been accomplished has disappeared. If there's anything I got from this case, I think '(drugs) have lived. At that time, if I had not been arrested and continued to use the drug, I would have died, and I think of my family."
Also, Don Spike "I think many people are still uncomfortable seeing me on the screen. I apologize for causing a stir."
