For Those of You Familiar With Going to Rehab for Drugs or Alcohol: What Else Could Amy Whitehouse Have Done?

Question by Spaced Frehley: For those of you familiar with going to rehab for drugs or alcohol: what else could Amy Whitehouse have done?
I’ve gone through myself. The first time was rough. I relapsed 8 years later and sobering up after that was even more difficult than the first time despite what I learned from a very respectable 12 step program. What do you think?

It’s tragic what happened to her.

That being said she could have done what they tell you to do in treatment and cut out ALL of your old drug using “friends” and even to move to another area if you have to, and put everything on hold like a career and put getting sober and staying sober as the #1 priority and while a lot of addicts know this actually doing it is the hard part.

She should have also realized that you can’t ever use your Drug(s) of choice or other drugs and to be careful about not getting addicted to other things like I’ve seen ex drug addicts who would get sober from one drug and then get addicted to another one.

I know that her parents did care for her but she’s an adult and she seemed pretty strong willed. At least they did not try to hide the fact that she did have major drug addiction issues like some parents of their celebrity/musician children have done.

I remember when she married her husband or was dating him before they were married you could tell that they were both addicts and that their “relationship” was about nothing but using drugs constantly and getting high.

I’m sure since she was a celebrity she had all sort of people hanging on or tagging along giving her booze, cocaine, heroin, crack, or whatever drug she wanted at the time. She also had lots of money so if nobody would give her stuff for free or share if they were using she could just call up a dealer and buy whatever she wanted.
