Treat It and Beat It!

It is sad when you consider how so many artists develop some sort of addiction which causes their art and/or talent to go by the wayside. Take one of the Dutch artists for instance; instead of going in drug rehab he continued his addiction.

This led to suicide and aside from robbing himself from having a great life; he also robbed the rest of the world from enjoying more of his music and paintings. All of this could have been prevented had he just been willing to receive good drug treatment.

Young and talented Lindsay Lohan is another example. I was under the impression she had entered an alcohol treatment center, but it either must not have done her any good or she is a very troubled person.

It is so sad seeing such young and gifted people wasting their lives and abilities, while there is such excellent alcohol treatment available. I don't think they realize they are not just hurting themselves, but all those who love them as well.

With the help of alcohol rehab their determination and commitment can be turned around and focused on overcoming this addiction, instead of nourishing it. I hope they will succeed and live a long and happy life!
