Amy Winehouse Dead

[Yukon]

Amy had a choice,to do drugs or not,to get help or not,

The kids in Norway had no choice. fact.

 

You really are a rather unenlighten individual aren't you. Okay, she did some drugs but do you think people actually want/ mean to become addicts? You seem to think that things are black and white and they aren't.

 

As for the kids in Norway, they didn't have a choice no, but by the end I don't think Amy Winehouse did either

A few years back cause of the choices i made, i was down in a very dark place.When you are down there you reach a time when it is black and white.

You first admit to yourself you need help.Then you make a choice to get help or not.Thanks to family,friends and docs i come out of the dark and i'm still here.

Yes i'm anti-drug, always have been and always will be.

[blinkme]

you can be anti-drugs and yet still feel sympathy/compassion towards those who have an addiction to them though surely?

Was so looking forward to her 'jukebox' album. She was nuts, and vulnerable; it was always going to happen. Just a shame it happened before she released more excellent music. I feel cheated musically, and very sad for her. 27?? Jeez. So sad. If only somebody had been there with her.

That Guardian article Yukon linked to is utterly wonderful.

 

Here's a tip. Read it instead of squabbling.

[Burt]

People are too quick to jump on Russell Brand's back. Read his 'Booky Wook's, cracking reads the pair of them.

[JOHNNYAITCH]

Read the Russell Brand article and whilst well intentioned it is appallingly badly written.

 

I reckon most addicts reach a point where their way of life becomes the norm for them. Asking for help means admitting failure or an inability to cope alone and that is very difficult for most people to do..even worse i guess for an addict.

 

It's very sad that she got herself into such a state, very sad that she was unable to get herself out of it and very very sad that she died at such a young age.

A superb article by Russell Brand

 

Stopped reading at the first sentence when he referred to taking drugs as a disease.

Addiction is a disease.

[Santa]

It's definitely a condition, a sign of a compulsive personality.

[Andyregs]

Addiction is a disease.

 

Rubbish and to label it that makes it worse for the addict as it takes choice. All an addict has to do to 'cure' themselves is to stop taking the drug. Apply some willpower. If only it was so easy with real diseases such as cancer.

I agree that addiction should be treated by the NHS, and that addicts dont plan on becoming addicts, however I do find calling it a disease rather offensive.
