Wishing her a speedy recovery. Anyone else battling addiction never be afraid to ask for help. You are worth helping. Call: 1800 459 459 Monday to Friday 9:30-5:30.
@Dave O Keeffe: aren’t you the guy that constantly slates me on this for be drunk?
@Jonathan Byrne: no, I constantly advise you on your behaviour while drunk usually telling you to get some sleep as, like right now it’s about 4am where you are. You’re not drinking tonight though, I can tell.
@Dave O Keeffe: ahh so your the b.f. Skinner of behaviour on this site. Got ya ! The funny thing is I work nights over here, but thanks for the bedtime consideration.
@Jonathan Byrne: well then I’d advise you to stop drinking at work!
@Dave O Keeffe: Monday to Friday, really. Pointless
@Dave O Keeffe: I’m off work now, again thank you for being so considerate or personal? But remember keeping those in support remembered cause your advice they need.
@nelly: it’s far better than nothing.
@Dave O Keeffe: seriously man, what do get off( dandy warhols) on this site that your in to be constantly need to be right about everything, maybe a lacking in fulfillment? Oh no wait your the one who wants to suggest help. While being impartial.
@Dave O Keeffe: is it ? Or is that your ego?
@Jonathan Byrne: your reaction to someone simply posting a helpline for those with addiction issues is very strange. I felt it should have been included in the article, it wasn’t so I put it in a comment.
@Dave O Keeffe: wow ! That almost came across as genuine. Bravo sir. A question what if nobody gave a sh#t about your opinion on a news site?
@Jonathan Byrne: and lets forget you post about every thing on here. Time for bed, obv not for you !
@DrRexButts: so much for the helpline Dave put out, ay ?
@Jonathan Byrne: I have no idea why you’re so upset about me posting an addiction helpline on a story about a drug overdose. To be honest I don’t give a sh!t if nobody cares what I have to say. They don’t have to read it, you don’t have to read it. You seem to have taken some sort of personal offense to me expressing my opinions, that’s fine, it’s your choice, but it won’t do you any good, I’ll still post my opinion on any subject I want whenever I want. And I will never personally attack somebody repeatedly like you do. Guess what? I’m happy. Can you say the same?
Perhaps it’s time for her to retreat from life in the limelight and the media back off and let her face her demons in private. The price if fame can be very high. Really hope she comes out the other end of this.
I dont know who she is. Should I?
@: the feeling is mutual.
@: I don’t know who she is either so that makes two of us
When it’s Deco in inner city Dublin, he is a junkie s**mbag and perceived to be a bad egg and people will comment here with good riddance etc etc.. When it’s Demi Lovato or someone famous we all send them our love and they are a tortured soul!!
@Michael Wynne: a drug user with fame and money is a junkie too
” I never thought you’d be a junkie be, cause herion is so passe” dandy warhols
Apparently barney sold her the drugs.monster.
@Seriously stunned: shouldn’t be chasing dinosaurs or chasing the dragon either
Based on her history, I think it was about time someone is brutally honest with her. If she keeps pumping herself full of this s–t, she will end up dead soon. Every time she is supposed to be sober, she has stories about how she is a victim in life but is on the road of recovery. In fact, Often she is not sober but still high telling these stories.
It’s time for her to take some personal responsibility for this, especially given the resources available to her, and stop pumping herself full of s–t.
By the way, I wish her success…
have your say
