Veronica, too true. There is a story in The Times supplement today about the great British actor Bill Nighy who has been dry for 15 years. There is a great quote from him saying that it took him until he was 42 to realise he “had no brakes” when it came to booze and dope.

Intresting comments, Ian is right you can’t judge anyone by what’s going on ‘outside’ of them, i generally find alot of people have a ‘front’ they put up that hides who they really are. This is never truer than with celebrities. Good luck to anyone who is turning over a new leave no matter what the circumstances.

Some celebrities are always looking for more, and never look to see how far they have come. It is ususally their undoing.

Well Philipa, you are right, and kindness means a lot to me too.

Ian, hey, that’s something new I learnt about you.

“I remember feeling worthless, no confidence, unattractive and my friends told how attractive I was, how any guy would be lucky to have me (like Meg I couldn’t get a date for love nor money, and had resigned myself to singleness). I knew they meant it and weren’t just being nice as they were genuinely shocked that I could feel that way about myself.” – yep, that was me, but my friends understood that I felt that way because a complete bastard had spent all his time, since I became ill and unable to fight back, putting me down.

Sometimes ignoring a bastard you once cared about isn’t as easy as it should be. However rich we are, we all need to be loved and if that’s not possible, then I wish people would be kinder to each other.

Addiction to anything has nothing to do with what we possess externally, but everything to do with our inner being. I know. I have counselled addicts, and I’ve been there.

I suppose no one can really imagine what another person’s life is like.

Newmania, the point is that she has turned over a new leaf, she feels lucky to have “a second chance”. People should learn from past mistakes.

Meg Mathews was a pointless ligger and now is a pointless swigger. I do get sick of celebs whining abou their booze problem. Why is it that whenevber they have a few shandy`s they are ill when for the rest of us its just lazy. Admit it there is a lot of nonsense going on.
