I wanna dance with somebody. One moment in time. I will always love you… Yeah. That voice. Those songs. That girl. The girl I grew up listening to, the one that bookmarked first kisses and high school dances and sleepovers and and and… yeah. Beautiful voice and face and could’ve had a beautiful life. [...]
Celebrity Addiction: do we care and why?
celebrity exemption
The fact is that most alcoholics, for reasons yet obscure, have lost the power of choice in drink. Our so-called will power becomes practically nonexistent. My powerlessness over alcohol does not cease when I quit drinking. In sobriety I still have no choice—I can’t drink. The choice I do have is to pick up and [...]

Lindsay Lohan- Active Addiction in the Public Eye

I have been quite a fan of Lindsay Lohan since her debut to Hollywood in Disney’s Parentrap. Her appeal was instant, she was from [...]

Gone Too Far or Too Far Gone?
This is my first post and I have decided to write on being young in recovery, and relating it to the MTV documentary series “Gone Too Far” a project started by the late DJ AM . This series really hits home for me. Being twenty-two and having just about a year clean, this show follows [...]
