Ms. Lohan is in a “Death Spiral”






Unlike some of the other tabloid princess, I really did believe Lindsey was serious about getting her self clean. Clearly beating addition it a lot harder than it looks.

I could understand someone like her falsely believing that she is somehow entitled to “Special- treatment.” That she is exempt from waiting in lines that are meant more us “Non- Celebrities”. However it is impossible for me to conclude that this mess, that she calls a life, is the product of her felling that she is “Entitled” to be this screwed-up.

Many people have commented that care about the laws, that she is living the way she wants to; and because she believes she can get away with it because of her wealth. It seems clear with each new drinking binge that this behavior is not the result of her desire to be above the law, but is the product of serious mental illness.

She is not doing this because she believes she can; but is acting this way because she in unable to stop.

Unfortunately, I have known people who fell into the grip of the addition monster. Some of them in time pull them-selves out of the monster’s clutches; it is with great sadness that I say a few did not. I have attended two funerals the result of friends inability to escape the pull. I have seen how had people have worked to break free. As one that is not predisposed to alcoholism, it would be easy for me to condemn, but I have seen too many good people struggle to kid myself into thinking this is easy.

As an insurance agent specializing in Auto insurance, I have also taken calls from customers whose lives have been turned up side down, as the result of a drunk driver’s reckless disregard. While I am willing to cut her some slack, for the life of me I can not understand why she is driving?

She needs to have a full-time driver. Lindsay Lohan should not own an automobile and should never be in possession of car keys. She certainly has the financial means, and could even justify it based on the fact that as a celebrity, it might not be safe for her to travel without a bodyguard.

It is a shame, that she has no one in her life that is providing her the help and intervention she needs. It is clear that she requires treatment, it is also clear that she has made it inevitable that she is headed off to Jail.
Let’s hope she gets treatment while there.
