Addiction is f**king ugly
Thats the truth people, its nothing like "Celebrity Rehab" Its dirty, its a liar, and there is nothing glamorous about it. Apparently my recent posts struck too close to home with some of you, good. Truth is that sometimes unless "we feel pain" we cant be reasoned with. I applaud those who took a stand and objected to the content. But misdirected valor is just that, isnt it? If that was a video of Miss Lohan or Charlie Sheen Im pretty sure things would be different. What I posted was REAL way too REAL. Just sayin....
P.S. I would like to thank a new friend for the title.

I want to thank you so much for posting the video. It really hit home for me. I liked to combine pills and alcohol and I'm sure there have been times I was veggie-like. It scares me to think my children could have found me in a similar state.
Thank you again...

Thanks for posting that. Scary stuff. I have a cousin that just od'd on oxy last week. She was brought back to life via a narcon shot and she is right back at it. It is heartbreaking. Hope your daughter is okay and gets the help she needs.

Stugotz, sorry your posts were removed 
I found the post about your daughter very upsetting but, by trying to imagine what you're going through and how you must be feeling right now, it put a fresh perspective on my own situation and how my own family could suffer if anything happens to me (even though I believe they would be better off without me right now). It also brought me back to when I was a young teenager, and waking up to see my own dad crying over me after I took an intentional OD of sleeping pills and benzodiazepines. I hadn't thought about that day in such a long time and it reminds me that perhaps I am cared for?
How is she today?
Thank you Stugotz.

I didn't even watch it....I saw the picture and that was enough to break my heart...I think there was another thread on Rain on my Heart...Didn't watch that either....Intervention?...Nah.....I think the horror of my own past is enough to keep me sober....But I did pray for you and your beautiful daughter...And your family...And I'll continue to do so.

The original thread was closed and removed, by me, under this rule.
As this thread is based on a false premise, we're done.
If anyone wants to argue with me, I'll be back on Monday.
my prayers go out to your daughter Stugotz - I hope this can be her turning point.
