Report Offensive Post
Lindsay's Lohan has to accept the fact that she is an addict. If, shedoesn't it could be a long and slow death or one day she will be founddead. She has to change her thinking. Stay away frompeople(including family) who are leeches and develop over time self-esteem. She has to go and s tay in meetings and work a program of complete recovery. Prognosis- this might take a miracle.

She has to want the help. Untill then, there's nothing anyone can do.She knows what she's doing and this is her choice. I don't feel bad for addicts who want to stay that way.

Report Offensive Post
I agree with the 2 other posters, Lindsay has to accept the fact she'san addict. You would think by now she would accept it. But, she keepsgetting bailed out. Jail was a joke. Rehab is a joke. Court was a joke.She had "fu_k u" on her middle finger nail, pointed at the Judge. It'sonly a matter of time before she kills someone, or herself. That'swhen her parents will sue s aying the courts weren't tough enough.
RECENT COMMENTS FROM DAILY NEWS READERS
You may also be interested in:
BILL: Esprit de corps—
DR. DAVE: From day one, our major measuring yardstick was how well did the addict getalong in NON-treatment groups. In the dining room, with the visiting alumni, or thecommunity outings. That's been the mark of success or failure in all the treatmentcenters I have been affiliated with.
BILL: Reading Corey Haim's biography, it was clear that drugs kept him from going backto restart his development with friends his own age.
DR. DAVE: When Lindsay went off on an extravagant Cannes vacation between rehabs,my feeling was, there it was again – a dis missal of targeted aftercare, whereprofessionals and pe ers would help her "come of age" with the social development she
needs in recovery.
BILL: So your prognosis for her is --?
DR. DAVE: Bill, you tell me.
Dr. David Moore is a licensed psychologist and chemical dependency professional who is
a graduate school faculty member at Argosy University's Seattle Campus. Bill Manville is
a Book of the Month novelist; his most recent non-fiction work, "Cool, Hip & Sob er," is
available at online book stores. He teaches " Writing To Get Published " for Temple
University.
