A friend pointed out to me last night that we lost Whitney a long time ago, just now there's a place to leave her flowers. So sad, the self-destruction of someone with the voice and face of an angel. Here's praying for her daughter.

Interesting point Zen. She was gone long ago.

Why is it that everyone is so mortified and sorry when a known drug abuser dies from her abuse?
Whitney was a great talent and loved by millions but no-one loved her enough to intervene to save her life.
We live in a sad time.

The truth is that the only person who can clean up an addict is the addict herself. Interventions serve to wake the person up to how his/her behavior is hurting others, but ultimately it's up to one person and one person alone to fight the demon of addiction, and that is the addict.
Also, I may be mistaken but I thought I had read that Whitney did clean herself up in 2009, but the pull of addiction is strong and this may have been a single relapse that took her. I don't keep up with music news or Hollywood gossip, but I have known and loved people who battled addictions. Some of them beat it, some are still fighting, and sadly some lost their lives to it.

Sort of like you did when Irish started a thread to thank military members on Veteran's day?

I don't buy for one moment that an addict isn't influenced by love and someone who really loves them reaching out and helping them through their addiction, maybe taking them to Hazelden for example.
We don't allow a stray dog to die in the cold, do we?
