Right Keith...keep reaching out to her...she needs sober drunks and druggies around....Fans, paps, friends and family, please know that she didn't choose her alcoholism and addiction, just as no one chooses cancer....it's a disease that just gets triggered in some people and not others....and her efforts to quit won't work if she doesn't want it, or if she secretly tries to quit on her own. I'm sure she's tried to quit or "cut back" and because she's a strong person, inside she's pretty freaked and angry at herself that she can't do it. That's how this illness keeps so many...because they try to secretly quit on their own and they just can't, and it's very shaming and discouraging. She needs AA so she can be around other people who know exactly what she's going thru...it's complicated.....90 meetings in 90 days is a great start. If some "cool" people in recovery could reach out to her and bring her to their meetings, that would be best. Or, she could be court ordered to attend 90 in 90...that will give her enough of a foundation to see she's not alone; not unique in her suffering with alcoholism and addicition. Millions have learned to recover, and she can also. Hurry up and act now before Blake gets out, or there will be a dance of death.
