Thought ths was interesting- death is the great equalizer, but addiction isn't far behind:
Referencing McCready's death, the show's former host, Dr. Drew Pinksy said:
"Mental health issues can be life threatening and need to be treated with the same intensity and resources as any other dangerous potentially life threatening medical condition. Treatment is effective. If someone you know is suffering please be sure he or she gets help and maintains treatment."
Before Mindy committed suicide, Jeff Conaway, Joey Kovar, Mike Starr and Rodney King were the other four individuals that appeared on Celebrity Rehab, and are sadly no longer with us.

The saddest part is ..She gave up......she no longer had a reason to fight.
She took the dogs life so it wouldn't be left alone.......I'm sure she wasnt' tinking that one through to the end, but she felt the dog would be left in the world she lived in. therefore she didn't want it to suffer like she was.
Reality Stinks!!!

Most Addicts and Alcohol abusers are struggling with Mental disorders, which the drugs and alcohol help mask. Unfortunately of course there are very serious and real repercussions to self medicating ourselves and sooner or later the drugs and alcohol will kill us and perhaps others around us.

I can't see any rules have been broken.
If you feel something needs to be attended to it's best to PM a mod.
Posting and calling someone out here is not what we do here.
It only serves to take the focus further away from where it should be - a thread for a young woman, just like us, gone too soon.
If you feel strongly about a particular post or poster, use the ignore function instead.
thanks

I am so sad about this. I used to have Mindy McCready lyrics as my signature here (from "I'm Still Here"):
"There was darkness all around me
There were times that I was sure I was drowning
There were people who tried to reach me
But no matter how they loved me I kept sinking
When I got tired of my own hell
I reached inside, and I saved myself"
Perhaps I will change my signature back.
