DO NOT LET THIS BE YOU: AMY WINEHOUSE
How many of you out there spend your weekends partying and includes alcohol or drugs? How many think that drinking and drugging is really quite fun? Actually I did for many many decades. But was it really fun or was it just a cover up for something else that was really going on? Think about yourself long and hard. How about going to a party without a drink or a drug. Seems kind of impossible to have a good time doesn't it? When you are young and skipping school to get drunk and getting away with it how awesome it seems at the time but is it a set up for a problem later on in life?
How about your temper when you drink and drug, is that really you? Have you lost jobs? Sure when you are young all this seems like no big deal and jobs are not that important but when you get older and have responsibilities all of these things are very important. The world just watched a very talented young woman spiral downhill in a matter of a couple of years from drugs and alcohol and was referred to as a trainwreck. How sad that nobody could intervene. Amy Winehouse was an icon. Gone way before her time. Why we must ask ourselves. Could she have been saved? Did she ever have enough sobriety time to see any light at the end of the tunnel? I personally do not think she did. How many people do you know that need help just like she does? People that are in denial. Family members perhaps? Spouses? Are you being held hostage by someone else's addiction? Are you yourself in denial.
The outcome of any addiction is three choices, jail, institutionalization or finally death. Which one do you choose? Because one is coming. The good news is there is help. What is your addiction? There is a solution. This is my very first blog. I will be writing blogs nightly to help people with addictions. I will be discussing many different kinds of programs, different kinds of permanent damage from alcohol and drug usage, and different rehabs and detoxes all over the country. If you have an urgent matter, please feel free to e-mail me at LynnNelson6489@hotmail.com and I will be more than happy to assist you. Please do not wait until its too late.
no one can be saved and it isn't anyone's responsibility to do so. the only way a using addict can avoid a "trainwreck" is that a decision is made to stop suffering or any other reasoning for their dependence that drugs/alcohol is harmful enough to their lives a change should be made. amy had been sent to many rehabs and also publically asserted she had no desire to not use drugs/alcohol and had no intention to stop... and it's sad that no one could help and rehab after rehab was helpful to allow her to have the desire to not use substances but the lesson is that we cannot change any behaviors unless we decide find a desire to do so.
ReplyDeleteher death at such a young age with someone so talent is an unfortunate result of her desire to not (for any reason) stop using drugs/alcohol.
