Lindsay Lohan arrested AGAIN for DUI...

[RICHARD]

Apparently the ALCOHOL TESTING DEVICE on her ankle failed her.


SUE THE COMPANY!

I love this quote.

"She is safe and out of custody and sleeping it off...."

WHAT ABOUT THE PEOPLE ON THE STREET?

[Catty1]

She's not the only impaired driver out there endangering others...and many won't even CONSIDER rehab.


There are a number of folks in my home AA group who are "retreads" or who are back after going back out and doing "market research" - sometimes more than twice...and they shudder now at who they might have killed.

And I have met one or two that weren't that 'lucky'.

Jail is ok if she has access to meetings...most jails have them.

And some people have to hit bottom several times or more.

Believe me...no one is more puzzled and upset than she is. Who relapses on purpose? No one.

But it's like recovering from a heart attack - you follow doc's orders and take the meds and walk every day....or you will relapse.

In L's case - you do NOT go back to clubs right away and drink just pop. It's too soon.

As I have heard in the program: "If you don't want to slip, stay out of slippery places."

Hey, L, come on up here and be anonymous...we've got a chair for you Monday nights.

A lot of alkies die in the streets...if only they were accorded the same attention...

How sad that a young beautiful women with so much going for her has so many problems.

I am sort of confused about why Tammy Faye got so much sympathy and other celebs don't, I am not trying to start anything but I think its kind of strange.

[RedHedd]

Thanks, Catty. I wonder if they've told her, or if it's sunk in for her yet that it's the FIRST drink that gets you drunk. Sad that she has to slip and slide so much in public. There's always a seat available at the meetings here in San Francisco too. We're used to having celebs in our midst and I've met quite a few; they're just like me - trying to stay sober one day at a time.

[sasvermont]

I worry about the "other guy"......when I read things like this. What a waste of fame and fortune.

[elizabethann]

I'm speechless.

Well, for one thing Tammy wasn't doing anyting to hurt others. Even during the PTL scandal, that was good old Jim Baker. Note that Tammy was not ever charged with a thing. She turned her life around for the best.

These spoiled celebs who have everything in life but some commen sense, do deserve our pity but they are dangerous. They need HELP in a big way but even when they get it, throw that away.

Just thought of something....


How does a device on your ankle tell if you are drinking?


Like, do you have to breathe on your foot for it to register?

--------------

I'll put my money on an overdose; a car accident seems a little far-fetched now.

They have been developing a similar device for diabetics for years, a bracelet that monitors your blood sugar. I guess it takes reading from skin and sweat ... Sadly, my friend Eva died before it mae it to market, she'd long thought there had to be a better way than stabbing one's finger.

[Catty1]

OT - Tammy Faye went to rehab voluntarily, as far as I know.

[caseysmom]

Well I don't want to speak ill of the deceased but Tammy Faye did have to go to rehab herself.

[Alysser]

Doesn't surprise me a bit.

[RICHARD]

Disney Studio has just announced that LL has just signed up for the sequel to the 2002 movie..Herbie: Fully Loaded.

Lohan starred in the remake of the Herbie the Love Bug movie.

The sequel is tenatively named: Lindsay: Fully Loaded.

Well I was never a fan of Tammy Faye but I think that poor woman had
her hell on earth with her illness & we should let the woman rest in peace.

She was a good positive influence for everyone in her later years.

I know people that have relapsed and it's not cool. If lindsay wants to quit I hope she gets the strength and support group to do it. I must say that therapy dogs can work wonders
