Quote From: ladyinmyheadI come from a loooong line of addicts and you know why I am not ? Because I choose not to be. I could drink, pop spills, smoke dope, smoke crack, snort a line. Why don't I ? Because I choose not too.
We all have the same choice.
You know, we have all been fed the lie that we are victims. I too have gone to a doctor for specific issues and was told I was depressed and needed antidepressants. However I declined. I asked for more tests. You have to be an advocate for your own health, physical and mental. My point, is this, we all have hard lives, we all have temptations, we all would like life to be a little bit better and easier. Not everyone turns to a "mothers helper". When Star was committing burglary and adultery, stealing from family and friends for years and years, don't tell me that the pills blocked the voice in her head that says...hey wait a minute.
I know for a fact that there were other avenues for Star to go down. I know for a fact that she was offered a program for 6 months where she could take her two small children. But, no, that was too hard, too long, too private. Instead she opted to air her dirty laundry on TV as a DEFLECTION of what she has done. There is no real repentance. She's sorry because she got caught. So to the person who "knows" the family, obviously you don't know what you don't know.
You might have come from a "looooooong" line of addicts but you have no idea about addiction. If you are sober consider yourself lucky...it doesn't give you the right to downplay the power of addiction and what it creates people to do. You might want to jump off your soap box for a minute...long enough to notice you don't know what you are talking about!
