It’s a program of want, not need. They put her away for a year & she doesn’t want to get sober......then all they’ve done is delay it by a year. And, that’s coming from someone who just celebrated 14yrs sober.
It seems for some addicts that they have to reach a bottom that is so low, it finally dawns on them that they'll die if they continue down this path, and then they have to decide that they want to live. And even then, there are no guarantees.
Having some experience in the criminal justice system, I know that sometimes that realization does come to people when they're sitting in jail (and sober) for their 3rd or 4th month, and they can think about their condition and situation and then where to go from there. I'm just not sure if Lohan is one of those kinds of people.
It seems like she thinks "it's the world against Lindsay Lohan". Until she figures out it isn't, she's not going to recover. Hopefully, she won't kill anyone else before she either kills herself, or she gets sober.
Congrats on the 14 years.......
I don’t think it helps that she is surrounded by people that are not willing to say no to her.....and you are right she does not want to be sober
Congrats. It was twenty for me in February. It works when you work it.
