Listen l I know a few folks who drank themselfs to death, they were good folks just couldnt stop when on the vodka or whisk,y that shit will kill you fast 24/7. your liver/ kidneys and stomache gets destroyed and it is an ugly death they hurt so bad on their death bed and it is not fast like in the movies, morphine can not even stop the pain..
like my brother. when you add meth and who knows what else into the mix--you've got yourself a problem.
start off with 2 parents --who can rarely agree on anything and don't wonder very long about how kids find alternatives. that is the theory I am going with for my own situation.
Whitney, Michael Jackson---celebrities,non-celebrities--by the 1,000's--maybe 10,000's or more--I have no idea what sort of support might have been appropriate.
so many Al Anon meetings--I did hear a few success stories.
It is really difficult for me to watch Hoda and Kathie Lee Gifford--to name 2--the thought does cross my mind that the wrong message is being transmitted--but not the media responsibility to impose morality--whatever.
