Why is it news when a celebrity overdoses or is on the verge
of death when they brought it on themselves?
There are thousands of cases of regular old people who are struggling
with addiction each and every day. I
will bet that you are close with someone who is or is recovering from substance
abuse. When the national media glorifies
the fact that this celebrity has gone in to a coma or that celebrity has died I
think it takes away from the local problem that we have right here, in our own
back yard. I am sorry that these
celebrities have issues, and cannot deal with the celebrity machine that they
have built, but it was something that has been done by them, as it is when it
happens here with someone you love. All we
can do is reach out and offer a hand, and an ear. And let them know that there is help. Let’s stop glorifying drug use and abuse.
