If you were to press me on the matter, I probably couldn’t tell you what films Lindsay Lohan has appeared in, much less how the course of her rehab has gone. But, really, shouldn’t we give her at least a little bit of a break — she reportedly “fell off the wagon” and drank while she was celebrating New Year’s Eve.
I’ve never had a drinking problem (though my father was an alcoholic), I’ve never smoked a cigarette, and I’ve never undergone any sort of drug treatment. But I’ve lived long enough and known enough people with addictions to know this: It ain’t easy to end ANY sort of addiction. If it were, they wouldn’t be ADDICTIONS, would they??
So let’s back off a bit, give the young woman a chance. I should think it would be both a blessing and a cursing to have the access to money and both good/bad things as she and other celebrities do. Hopefully, she’ll get it right.

I agree with giving people chances but why did Ms. Lohan have to go to a party on New Years Eve? Why couldn’t she find another way to celebrate the New Year? She had to know that there would be alcohol and who knows what else there.
I’ll give her a break but it has to be if she uses her head and thinks before she acts. I read that called her sponsor after this mishap. Being smart would be for her to call her sponsor before the party!
