I agree that their addictions were definitely serious. I personally never knew about Stevie's falling off the stage incidents. So glad she got help. However, what I am mainly referring to is the fact that they DID survive. And they by no means were any less addicted than anyone else. However, I'm just wondering what it was that not only made these people survive from the drugs but also thrive in both their personal and professional lives ever since. They came out of the situation tougher than ever. And seemed to have healed all of the old wounds. In the "Two Sticks and a Drum" documentary, Mick even seems to have repaired his relationship with his daughters. I'm in no way denying that they were in bad shape. They themselves have gone on the record to say this many times. However, I am wondering just what it might have been that made ALL of them not only survive the idea but prosper afterwards.
