Look at her now with 3 kids (the 2 she gave away and a new baby), happily married, a cert 4 so she can work and she looks healthy and happy. No one would no her past.<br /><br />I was sad too to see all the comments about Amy. You can't judge people. They need help and support not condemnation.<br /><br />Thanks for sharing your story. xKylie Ofiuhttp://kylieofiu.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5521948518439771988.post-56033711939733752452011-12-22T22:53:57.784+10:002011-12-22T22:53:57.784+10:00I "get" this. I do.
And I felt the same ...I "get" this. I do.<br />And I felt the same about the Amy Whinehouse thing. She didn't choose to die. No one ever does (in my belief. Even those who commit suicide, it's an illness choosing FOR them).<br /><br />I applaud that you were so raw and honest here. <br />I honestly feel that when it comes to drugs and alcohol it isn't what you're taking that is the hardest addiction to shake, it's the lifestlye surrounding it. The habit. The way that for many it's used as a coping mechanism and when you're not coping, when you're at your weakest, you want what "helps" and that's what makes it so hard to quit, or not to relapse. <br /><br />You've done a good thing though. You have used becoming a mother as your no option out. <br />And for what it's worth I agree about talking to your children. I am big on a very honest and open relationship with my kids. Do I go and tell my 5 year old about one night stands? No. But when my kids ask I won't lie or sugar coat shit. I will tell them as much as I feel they can handle, which will probably be too much in some parents eyes. But like you said, kids know more than adults assume, and lying? It just creates a riff and distrust. I'd rather have them hate a childish mistake I made long ago than hate me for lying to them (something we ALL tell our kids not to do from day dot). <br /><br />Thank you for sharing this with us. It was really a fantastic read, and I do feel like I got to know you a WHOLE lot more. <br />Had my feelings, but I hate to assume ;)Miss Pinkhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04339773113889860348noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5521948518439771988.post-79760164955001789212011-08-03T08:28:17.841+10:002011-08-03T08:28:17.841+10:00Thank you everyone.

I too have a past where I dabbled in drug use and plan on being honest with my girls when they are older. I have no regrets and don't miss it at all, when I met my now husband it was a deal breaker for him and I made a promise that has not been hard to keep. Sometimes I too wonder how it is that I came through those times with no long term scars...Super Sarahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03493854657141470059noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5521948518439771988.post-8857397427700012322011-07-27T22:59:35.171+10:002011-07-27T22:59:35.171+10:00Addiction hits close to me.

I have had issues with alcohol in the past but not drugs and in recent years no real problems with alcohol any more since I have been pregnant or breastfeeding for 2.5 years straight now so apart from the occasional glass of wine I have been essentially sober.<br /><br />Great post.

An addiction is a medical problem, and needs to be treated as such Once drugs stop being perceived as wrong, addiction will also be treated properly. And then perhaps, people won't care whether they take drugs or not. <br /><br />Meanwhile, Amy Winehouse was very unwell. So much talent in such a vulnerable body is just not meant to be. In the end, we are all equal.<br /><br />Thanks for an insightful writeup Ames <3lady lexhttp://www.ladylex.com.aunoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5521948518439771988.post-78474238180678570092011-07-26T16:13:22.414+10:002011-07-26T16:13:22.414+10:00It was sad news to hear.

I grew up in a family with addiction, and watched that person fight their way to recovery, and to stay there. I also experimented with ecstasy and speed when I was younger. You'd think I would know better, growing up the way I did. Thankfully I gave it up before trying anything harder, and while I could, it so easily could have gone another way.<br />Addiction is not as black and white as everyone seems to think. It is not as simple as choosing not to use/drink/gamble - there would be so many more people alive if it were.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5521948518439771988.post-64492139634903135792011-07-25T21:00:58.971+10:002011-07-25T21:00:58.971+10:00Wow...such honesty and a great read.

I have to admit i'm wary of people who do drugs - i dont know how to take them, whether i can place any trust in them.<br /><br />Maybe its because of the way i was brought up, maybe it was because of my overly cautious nature, but i've never touched drugs ( aside from alcohol ). Never.

I think many out there are quick to judge. Addiction is not a thing anyone asks for and like you, I'm lucky that those times where I've been blind drunk nothing bad had ever happened to me. I was lucky that the people who were my friends truly were that and managed to get me out of harms way. It's sad to see such a talented person go down that way especially when she we all know she needed a lot of support and time to get better.
