46. If I had her money at 19 or 20 I would be in rehab, give her a chance, she is surrounded by retarded rich losers, much older. mom not a great bellweather, it seems, maybe is. She had the experiences of me my 18 or 19 that I had by 27, she's pretty young.

47. Good for you Lindsay. Thumbs up!!

Maybe when you get clean you can sponsor Britney.

48. #44 You CAN stay clean. It is all about mind over matter. Don't worry about getting clean first. First think about who is the person you want to be: spiritually and physically. Then have a plan for how you are going to acheive that goal. Once you have done this comes the hardest part: putting it into action. You will experience a lot of boredom the first couple of weeks, but if you can get through that, you are well on your way! When I was first diagosied with cirroshis and new I had no choice but to quit drinking, for five days I did nothing but drive my car around Tampa. (round trip takes about 3 hours) Try it!!

50. Everyone with a negative input to this young lady, what is wrong with all of you?! Like you are angels too.
LL you keep your head up and everyone of us, has gone through a down time, and think positive. Remember the laws of attraction on 'the secret'.
positive = positive; negative = negative. You'll be alright and prove all these dummies, wrong. haha.

51. God bless you LL and I wish you a speedy recovery. There is a Japanese proverb which states "Fall down seven, get up eight." We all have made mistakes, errors in judgment, etc. You have nothing to be ashamed of. Make the best out of your time in recovery and pray. The Lord can bring you through anything. "I can do all things through Christ which strengthens me." Phillipians 4:13.

52. I think this is a young girl looking for love and guidance. She reminds me of Marylin M. I think she needs Faith in God. Somerhing bigger than money and fame. And she needed her parents to act like parents,and sadly they have not. The real shame here is the example she is setting for her little sister... i AM PRAYING FOR YOUR HEALING ...

53. #43 and #44, thank you. I can't believe people are criticizing Lindsay for getting the help that she clearly needs.

Now, the more important question -- WHERE THE HELL IS HER MOTHER? What kind of mother claims to be so hands on, then allows her daugheter to get to the point where she needs rehab at 20?

54. what kind of mother gives an interview to media same day daughter enters rehab. That is one major part of her troubles, a mother who sees her daughter as a cash cow.

55. If she can't stand the heat, get out of Hollywood.
The story is the same....some young stars can not handle the fame. How come there some celebrities who don't abuse drugs or booze like Madonna, Ted Nugent, Gene Simmons and Frank Zappa. The media does not focus their attention on their drug-free lifestyles because people like us (the common masses) rather read about stoned celebrities in magazines. Stop buying the hype.

56. Oh sh*t! What will Paris think?

57. I like Lindsay and hopes she get her life together. Godspeed!

58. Her Mother needs to be educated as well on what her daughter is going through.
those pictures of her Mom with younger party goers after it was announced LL was attending AA meetings just isnt how a Program of Recovery gets worked. Nor was the fact LL was still hanging out at clubs, drinking water the right way for a person to start a program of recovery.

Maybe now with Professional in resident treatment LL can get the real scoop on how one stays sober, and her Mother also becomes part of the Education of how to help keep a loved one sober and clean.

Saw this coming a month ago cause it takes one to know one. I have been there...I hope she comes to find being sober and clean is truly a better way to live than how it has been for her. She has a chance of a lifetime now.

59. Oh yeah, she'll be drunk off her butt by Superbowl Sunday, if not before. Very sad because while alot of her problems can be traced to her jailbird, loser father and low-life, sucking Lindsay dry mother she may not have turned out the way she did. She'll either be dead at a very young age, or washed up with no hopes of a career left.

60. When I started reading all of the entries from page one, it made me so sad to see all of these ignorant and crude comments about a girl they've never even met. If Linds is an alcoholic and/or drug addict then she is sick - just like having diabetes or MS. She never chose to have this disease, but it chose her. She *does* have a responsibility to *do* something about it now that she is aware and I pray that she's so sick of being sick and tired that she will finally surrender to it and turn it over to a power greater than herself. This is no question of will power and certainly *not* a question of mind over matter. It's so frustrating sometimes to see how very few people have any accurate knowledge on the subject of addiction, but yet that still doesn't prevent them from running their mouths with myths or lies. AA teaches you patience and tolerance and my guess is that we need it to deal with the people who have no clue. As for her Mom - she's most likely sick with this disease too and I pray for her recovery. Linds may be the rock to save her family and I'm sure when the time comes, she will rise to the occasion with dignity, honor and grace.

Best wishes to you Linds and keep coming back!
