It galls me to see an addict who is a 'movie' star treated differently then the rest of us. There is an old saying 'if you do the crime you must do the time.' If you or I were told to go to drug classes or Outpatient treatment and we had 3 years to get it done or we were going back to jail; it would be done. This would be in spite of possibly still using while doing the class. The judge would have locked us up on the first violation, not 3 years later with multiple chances. I have been to drug court and watched as individuals were arrested on the spot and taken to jail.
At some point in our addiction we get to grow up and to take responsibility for our actions. We can not blame any one else nor can we whine about the outcome. We do it to our selves. I will pray for the person who may or may not get released from jail in the next day or two. I will pray that they get it and don't die of an overdose. When you are in a bag at the coroners no one cares who you 'thought' you were.
