This guy seems to be a big deal over in England. I’ve heard of him but don’t really know much about him. He doesn’t seem to be a professed Christian but you never know.

Anyway, it’s an interesting point he’s making that drugs open you up to the demonic. It’s something I hadn’t really thought much about but there’s truth in it.

I love how he has to say “actual demons” so they didn’t think he was speaking about metaphorical ones.

Robbie Williams says taking drugs was like using a “Ouija board” as his substance abuse opened him up to “actual demons”.

The 48-year-old singer has had to go to rehab to overcome addictions to booze, prescription pills and other substances, and he has now been teetotal for the past 20 years, not touching a drop of alcohol.

Robbie believes that when people take drugs and talk about beating their demons they it is because those substances really do let dark forces into your world.

Speaking on the ‘Bought the T-Shirt podcast, he said: “I think drugs are like the equivalent to a Ouija board and you don’t know what you’re opening up. I think when people talk about demons and sorting out their demons, I think they are actually demons.”

The former Take That star – who has four kids, Teddy, nine, Charlie, seven, Coco, three, and two-year-old Beau, with his wife Ayda Field – says of all his vices his addiction to painkillers was the worst and caused him the most harm.

That seems like some hard earned wisdom from a guy who’s been through something. Worth considering.

I know that after Brian Wilson of the Beach Boys started taking drugs he began hearing voices that are still with him. I know there is mental illness but maybe there’s more going on there too? I don’t know.

It’s pretty good reason to follow Nancy Reagan’s advice and “just say no.”
