Country music's embattled Mindy McCready ended her life today, at the tender young age of 37. She has led a tumultuous and tortured life of alcoholism and addiction. It just goes to prove yet again that this disease is an equal opportunity destroyer, and does not discriminate based on status, wealth, or lack thereof. So sad that despite her efforts, she was not able to find her way. Praying for her, her loved ones, and for all of those in and out of the rooms who are still suffering.

So so sad ... ... ... Let us for sure keep her and her family and those who are still suffering, from this disease, in our prayers ... not to mention the kids who have no choice in the matter ...

Thanks nezyb for the heads up...if I wasn't in program with the survivors this would mostly depress the hell out of me and then what it does is cause me to remember to pray for those who haven't reached the rooms yet or who might never. (((hugs)))
having plenty of money on top of an addiction is problematic for numerous reasons. I used to think what would happen to me if you put me in a room full of that white powdery stuff that was so popular in the '70's, and I knew that I would die. Another issue with folks that are wealthy is that there is no ability to dream about be successful and rich, or that it would solve your problems and "make you happy". When you have everything and are still miserable, there's only two things left to do. End your life or make everyone else around you as miserable as possible. Sorry to make light of a serious situation. Another issue famous people have is that they are typically surrounded by people pleasers and takers. I've never heard of this person but she is no different then the rest of us. A good example like a lot of others, what this disease will do. Sad indeed.
My heart is saddened by so many that cross the bridge to death, because they can't or won't get their basic needs met to love and be loved, to care and share, to hold and be held, and so many around them bail out, instead of stay and help them get the help they need.
