I can totally relate to your grief over Amy's death. I have been very upset about it. I lived about a mile away from her flat in London and can remember seeing one of her early shows before she had a record deal. She was fantastic. I saw her live several times after that, including one truly marvellous night when she appeared on stage with Prince at a small club in London. She was a great talent.
I know others will say that she had choices but I know when I was really in active addiction I couldn't see those choices. I didn't want to see them. I am enormously grateful that FINALLY I did see the options.
I take comfort in the fact that the music industry is full of brilliant, creative people who have overcome drink and drug problems and have continued to be creative. I quite often see musicians in AA meetings in my area and I am always happy to do so.
