Philip Seymour Hoffman was on a heroin binge 6 weeks before he died, and told friends he was scared that he was destined to OD and die. Sources Hoffman confided in say that “back in December Hoffman told them he had started injecting himself with heroin and couldn’t kick it. Hoffman said he would kick it for a few days and then fall off the wagon. He went back to AA in a desperate attempt to clean up … but much to his great frustration it didn’t work. During the last 6 weeks he often looked disheveled and dirty. At one point someone asked him how bad his problem was, and he responded, “If I don’t stop I know I’m gonna die.” Hoffman was also drinking TOO MUCH, which led him to many bad decisions when it came to using heroin. Hoffman went to AA meetings over the last 4 years and was considered a “guru,” because he had been sober for so long. Hoffman would give inspirational talks to people who attended. RIP.
