She was so strung up on drugs and alcohol that she had to cancel her last concert because she was slurring and wobbling all over he place. I wouldn't give her a dime to see her sing. And she comes out with a song called rehab and she is a hero. She glorified the fact that she wouldn't go into rehab.

Sorry I don't feel bad at all. I do feel bad about the fact that it is just such a waste.
Her rehab song came out a long time ago, she was singing about her life, many artists do that, she says in the song, "They want me to go to rehab, but 'daddy' says I'm fine." This "Daddy" she sang about was probably a boyfriend codependent drug user. I don't think anyone saw her as a "hero." She actually did go to rehab in May of this year, but rehab usually takes several attempts before it clicks in. The rich and famous have an even more difficult time getting off drugs, there are too many people who will enable them. The poor usually just have family who will enable them. A drug addict needs his little "Renfield" to keep them from facing reality. I understand how you feel, but you really don’t understand the nature of addiction. Your brain wants these chemicals and screws up your thinking. Addicts take drugs because they want to feel better, and this is a very natural thing to want to feel better. Even if they feel better for just a few minutes they think it’s worth it.
