While I understand we are all weary of the media attention given to this poor creature, I was struck tonight watching Fox News coverage on the whole thing.
Being a former drug addict ( I have 15 years clean!) I was reminded how horrible addiction really is, and how lucky I am to have survived it.
When I ran out of money I had to get clean, or start doing things to get money that I wasn't willing to do...
and bought my first bodybuilding book by Corey Everson. I put down the drugs and picked up the weights, and have not stopped since.
I realize this may be more info than I needed to share, but I guess it just makes me grateful that whatever it was inside me that chose life, was a stronger force than the drugs that were destroying me.
Dont' you wish Anna Nichole (could have) and poor Britney would get a hold of some Cathe workouts, a good support group and realized how great you feel when your body is strong and healthy...you feel powerful and realize you are in control of your future, you begin to take responsibility for your actions and it actually feels wonderful.
I guess my point is this...I understand drug addiction and how it will destroy your life (famous or not) and am thankful today that I somehow managed to get out of the madness and am still discovering stuff about myself that the drugs hid from me.
Anyway, sorry if this was too heavy--or I sounded like the Florida judge but I think all of us can relate to this craziness on some level...thanks for listening.
