My bet is that he's got a severe Oxy problem. Hopefully he hasn't graduated to heroin. Pretty hard to watch.

OR just as the police and Tiger have said, he took a combination of drugs that had a bad side effect. He realized it while driving and pulled to the side of the road. Heroin?! Really?!
You mean like Ambien...taken at a normal dosage...and potentially mixed with something like Valium?Quote:
This can't possibly be his first rodeo and as the wife of a pharmacist, I can say there aren't any meds out there that will do that to you unless you take way more than the dr recommended dosage.
I was just listing heroin as a possibility. There's a silent heroin epidemic goin on in this country and when an opiate addict runs out of pain meds or had a habit the dr just cabt prescribe enough for, they resort to other opiates. Heroin is the natural progression for many opiate addicts in this country.

So we've gone from you guessing he has an Oxy addiction....to possibly being on heroin...to talking about how he might not be an addict at all.Quote:
He may not be an addict, but addicts are not bad people, and people should not be offended or act like anyone who throws that out as a possibility is calling him a bad guy or a murderer.
If you only knew how much experience I had with it...a highly successful and intelligent and beautiful person I love very much is currently in a 3-month treatment program in North Carolina for opiate addiction. She's a Dr. Started off with vicodin, then later oxy, then even worse when she could no longer get oxy. You would have never been able to tell by looking at her. She was dropped off at Ben Taub one night not too long ago on the brink of death after an overdose but luckily has decided to get real help after several failed attempts.jj9000 said:So we've gone from you guessing he has an Oxy addiction....to possibly being on heroin...to talking about how he might not be an addict at all.Quote:

I'm not sticking up for Tiger here...but, your posts on this particular topic are terrible.
That is something I have heard of but admittedly was not very familiar with. Hopefully that's all it is. But still weird that he'd be taking that before driving at 3am.mt3950 said:
You guys are underestimating what ambien can do to you. Just google "ambien dui"

Yep, that seems possible. Although 4 hours seems like a long time for ANY drug to still have that type of affect on you. The only thing I know about that drug though is that it's a sleep med and that a long time ago my friend told me he tried to fight it by staying up at night and ended up having legitimate hallucinations.mt3950 said:Wycliffe_03 said:That is something I have heard of but admittedly was not very familiar with.

That's the thing, he could've taken the pills at 11pm or so and if he OD'd, 3am is a reasonable time for his body to experience the side effects. I'm not saying that it wasn't something else. Very well could've been. But, an ambien OD can be like an out of body experience. Hope he gets whatever help he needs.
You can catch a glimpse of this at the beginning of the video. The officer on the driver's side requests his license, takes a look, then walks over to the other officer and says "check this out" or something like that. Then they both get quiet, and officer number 2 walks to the patrol car. From there, you can tell both of them are trying to figure out what to do...if they can let him off the hook, which is obvious they can't because he is way gone and a major liability.Ag_07 said:
Man I'd love to know what the officer thought when we walked up and saw Tiger freakin Woods passed out in his car at 3 am.
It's one thing to roll up and run the plates and see it's registered to Eldrick Woods, but to walk up and see the guy passed out at the wheel and blitzed as all get out has to give you a bit of "WTF did I just roll up on?" feeling.
He is an addict. Fact. Trust me on this one ...Wycliffe_03 said:lolDadAG10 said:

You have to take a bunch of pills to get like that. Or a bunch of fentanyl patches. Tiger is a smart man, and he has been through this for the better part of the last decade. I think it is incredible that people are buying this story line. Is it possible? Maybe. But it was 3am, he had no clue where he was and it sounded like he had a bunch of marbles in his mouth. And he has to have had many pain med prescriptions throughout the years.
He may not be an addict, but addicts are not bad people, and people should not be offended or act like anyone who throws that out as a possibility is calling him a bad guy or a murderer. I hope to God I am wrong about him and I am pulling for him now more than ever.

Non addicts don't go to addiction treatment. And it doesn't matter what the addiction was that required inpatient treatment.
I said he was an addict. I don't know if he is a drug addict. But he will always be an addict. Trust me.
OK. But my opinion is based on watching the man up close for years at home and on the road, as well as my first-hand knowledge of addiction. And based on my first-hand knowledge of high-end treatment centers, and why people go to such facilities.03ki11erAG said:aginlakeway said:

I never bought the fact that he was a sex addict. He was a high profile millionaire that had women thrown at him at every corner. He was a man. He went to treatment to try and save his marriage.
That's my opinion after all, just like yours. Sounds like neither of us know for sure.
Thank you. 10 years sober for me as of August 5. Turned my life around ...03ki11erAG said:
And congrats on kicking the addiction you had! I've been very lucky. I can drink, smoke a cigarette, gamble etc and never develop an addiction. Hopefully it stays that way.

Looks like your instinct was/is correct. Tiger heads to rehab for a pill addiction.aginlakeway said:OK.

An addict can spot another addict's behavior a mile away ...
