Just being a Kennedy. I wonder if health insurance rationing will cover this.

how is it that the common folk must be drug tested to stay employed and government officials just do whatever they please

If I were the cops, I’d check all waterways around Kennedy’s house ASAP-there may be a submerged car with a blonde in it behind his sudden decision........

He doesn’t need rehab, he needs a hobby. I suggest flying, chasing mob molls, or perhaps skiing.

As a recovering alcoholic (13 years), I full well understand his ongoing struggle. Many days, in many ways, it isn't easy. It is a lifetime problem. I don't have experience with prescription drugs, but can't imagine it is any easier. Few people are aware of the level of functionality even active alcoholics achieve. Most of those I meet in the rooms are active successful people that were that way while still drinking. The bum on the street is the stereotype and not representative. Many of you work, associate and have personal relationships with folks you don't even know are friends of Bill W.or even active alcoholics. That's why “anonymous is part of the name. Personally, I care nothing for my own anonymity. I gave that up years ago.
I agree with nothing this man stands for, but wish him success in his quest for sobriety. I hope he is doing it for the right reason. If he is not, he will fail.
Ultimately, we alcoholics are responsible for our actions. We accept that as part of our being. At this moment he seems to have done that. As human beings, let's hope he succeeds.

This is not about being a Kennedy or having money - this is about living with the stigma of living with mental illness and being treated with disrespect by society. I know because I've lived with mental illness my entire life though I function like the general population because I take medication but for those who know I may as well wear a t-shirt with mentally ill written across it.
If I see a doctor for any reason, I never disclose my mental illness because they immediately forget that I'm there for possibly a sinus infection etc and zero in on my mental illness. Our society has a long way to go in this area. By the way, I'm neither a Kennedy nor am I wealthy.
