Yep, the pine barrens

Thank you for your input, RHJUNKIE, I appreciate it.

why call alcholism à disease? A disease is not necessarily something one can control.....alcoholism is. I am a recovering alcoholic.....and I am in complete control of my drinking as, imo, so is Kim.sorry, I lost track of who I was responding to.

I think Erika is probably the smartest of these women...i think she has probably figured them all out and will proceed to put them all in their Respective places

Oh boy....my sentiments exactly! How that woman gets away with stuff is amazing

Thanks, almost

I don't understand why kim has her own show......wonder how long this last for an alcoholic and addict

I think all these articles are ways to let the addict/alcoholic not feel responsible for his/her behavior...as I have said before, I am a recovering alcoholic, and the only "thing" in control of my drinking is ME.

I am confused; an addict simply has no control over the addiction? Simply going on my own experiences an alcoholic does have the control to stop drinking.

I am so glad you're having no problems with alcohol. I think it only exacerbates the depression and delays recovery. Hang in there, kiddo!

I really don't see where anyone has treated Kim like dirt....Kim has brought the disgust with which she is viewed on herself with her own behavior. Imo, she has underlying psychiatric problems that need to be treated before she can really stop her substance abuse. Imo, alcoholics quite often have personality disorders which existed before the abuse began.

Thank you for your response....depression in particular runs on my father's side. My father liked to blame my problem on his grandfather who was an alcoholic which I always thought was a bit of a stretch..

I agree wholeheartedly. I guess she still drives, and that is certainly a scary thought.

Well, who am I to disagree with the AMA, ha, ha, but the underlying causes need to be addressed before she can begin to heal . I can certainly agree that addicts have a nightmarish life

Oh yeah...most definitely depression....depression can be a very common reason for drinking.....I did and still do suffer from depression, and boy there are so many times I wish I could pick up a bottle and be "free" for a little while.....but I just might not stop. Kim is definitely a very sad woman, imo....I can see it in her eyes, and I used to feel so awful for her.....and I guess I still do.....but she could stop. When you say you "could be projecting" are you depessed? I certainly don't want to pry, but it is easier to empathize with someone also depressed. Kim had a childhood that was not always in her control, but rather controlled by her mother and studios. I just don't think though she will ever get it together.....she has so very much to live for too, but continues on a path of destruction. She is definitely very ill.

I don't believe addiction is a disease....I think Kim could kick it if she REALLYwanted too....she just simply doesn't want to. She has been an alcoholic and drug addict for so long, she wouldn't know how to live her life sober. I have some experience with alcoholism as I have been a recovering alcoholic for many years....I have been sober for a good while, but I must be hypervigilent to the temptation. I just don't think Kim has enough emotional strength to fight her demons. Imo, she needs long-term treatment in a really tough treatment program. Quite frankly, I think we'll read about her death in the next few years. Her body has sustained a lot of damage by now, one would think..damage that could effect her heart and brain. Recovery is not easy.

Well, Kyle has never exhibited very good manners. She has always impressed me as a bit of a hayseed in the social arena. Sorry, I thought I had gotten the post this was in response to

Tis very true and unfortunately what we've come to expect from miss vicki

yes, that book is excellent. Bpds are exceptionally difficult to treat without the insight needed to benefit from therapy or the determination to get and stay well....BUT, I am one bpd who has recovered and recovered nicely.....so, my posting friends, it CAN be done. One needs to be ready.

Well, doesn't Paris look a bit like the little Swiss Maid on those coca commercials long ago,

I would think Sunday would be one of the best days...when more people are not working.

I think Kathy Hilton is simply one of those people with plenty of money, but no real social graces
