From listening to his experience first-hand it seems like he was just a young and dumb with the OG felony. I don't think he's a bad person- he seems like he just fucked up and was young and stupid. Feeding your addiction by breaking into cars is a really stupid thing to do. Definitely deserved to get sobered by that one, however being a crackhead who tries to fight his family is definitely a low point in comparison.He's been addicted to substances since he was a teenager. He caught a felony and a 5 year sentence trying to feed a drug addiction. The only reason he got a suspended sentence is because he was a middle class white teen. The only things he's know for 10+ years are addictions and enablers. His gamba addiction goes back years to OSRS. Austin has the arrested development of a teenager combined with multiple substance and gambling addiction. This notion that a couple months to get sober will change him is laughable. He doesn't want to change. He's said it himself. He has no sense of self beyond being a criminal, loser, and addict. He has no healthy coping mechanisms, no friends, no skills to navigate sobriety.
Austin is a multiyear project with relapses along the way if he ever sincerely tries to get sober.
