					<description>k love this site and everything.. but you obviously dont know about addiction.. people dont need to "check into rehab" every time they slip up.. addiction is a hard disease to deal with.. and almost all addicts will slip up throughout their lifetime.. and they dont need rehab every time they make a mistake.. going to meetings and realizing what they did was wrong is a GOOD thing and the right step to take.. i just hate when people comment or joke about being addicted to drugs.. addicts dont do drugs for fun and they dont deserve to get made fun of for it.. and this is coming from a heroin addict of 5 years- who was clean for 2 and have slipped up many times recently.. you posted that thing about the suicide hotline and that people should get help.. just so you know, many addicts contemplate suicide when they are in their addictions.. it is a very depressing thing to deal with and sometimes it feels hopeless.. if youre going to post things about celebs on drugs, try to feel sorry for them and not make fun of them.. i love this site but you are SUCH a hypocrite, and obviously dont know much about the real world.. you need to know your facts before you make a joke about something so serious</description>

					<description>Maybe she was telling the truth.   Why else would she go to a homeless person to buy drugs.  If you buy drugs on a regular basis, you usually have an established person who you trust who preferably delivers to avoid such an incident.</description>

					<description>It's not nice being mean.  You should have some compassion.  And who are you to call some one old.    30 is ancient over the hill.  especially in your world.</description>

					<description>Frankly, Perez, you don't have a clue about addiction so stop gossiping about people who are addicts--even the celebutards you want to dominate.  They should not be ridiculed in order to put $$ in your pocket.  What you are doing is cruel, hateful and not at all amusing.</description>

					<description>Perezel, actually  AA has a higher success rate with those seeking recovery than treatment centers.  Cruise on over to an Alcoholics Anonymous web site and read a copy of the prefaces for more information on this.

While going to a meeting is great especially for those who are on the verge of relapse--the sad truth is that Tatum is violating one of AA's traditions which states we should practice anonymity at the level of press, radio, tv &#38; film.  Why?  Because when struggling in the grips of a deadly and progressive illness, there is no room to be a diva or to be separate from fellow alcoholics. Terminal uniqueness kills many an alcoholic. 
  
The other very practical reason?  When some addict or alcoholic on a bender starts pointing to AA as "the thing that will save me" and fails, the public mistakenly assumes AA is to blame, rather than the addict or alcoholic who cannot or will not practice the AA steps and principles in their entirety.  

Self honesty is an important piece of this, and I'm not sure Tatum has found that yet.  God help her on her path, and I hope she finds sober serenity soon.</description>

					<description>So...er...MEETINGS are generally what keep people sane and sober and not treatment. Rehab is generally for taking a break to sane up enough to get something out of meetings. If she didn't actually use, going to a whole helluva lot of fucking AA meetings is just what the doctor ordered. You REALLY do not know fuckall about recovery.</description>

					<description>I can totally understand a woman who is battling addictions being tempted as she mourns her dog. If you have never loved a dog, then you won't get it, but -- they are thinking, feeling, loving, animals, and it's like losing a family member. I wish Tatum the best and hope she finds a way to cope.</description>
