AHS Views

Amy Winehouse wouldn’t have had her recent problems with drugs and alcohol if she’d been in a band, according to a recent article. Sounds pretty lame to me. How about this for an idea: Amy Winehouse wouldn’t have had her recent problems with drugs and alcohol if she had gone to drug rehab.

The front man for The Hives says “It must be hard going through what she’s going through all by herself.” True enough. But what she’s going through is because of drugs and alcohol – and whatever’s behind her need to take them – not because she doesn’t currently have a band.

The fact is this: drugs and alcohol breed more drugs and alcohol. The only way to stop the cycle is to stop the drugs. And the only way to do that is through a drug rehab program that gets down to the bottom of why you’re taking drugs and helps you turn things around. Until she recognizes that and does something about it, there’s not much chance of her life changing – at least, not for the better.
