A Lost Cause??

[Jordyboy9]

Daniella Westbrook is being sent for rehabilitation by Jeremy Kyle,for 3 months anyone think like I do she is a lost cause,so sad to see how people get themselves into this state.

How i see it.. It's like a fat person.. They got half way there, then carried on.

In daniellas case, she went above and over half way there, to the point it physically destroyed her, she came clean, and THEN she carried on.

Some people are their own worst enemies.

I would never be so pompous as to judge...let it be...

[Jordyboy9]

You are right spath , I thought at one time she was quite nice looking,but to see her now,oh deary me.

[spathiphyllum]

Well that's the issue with being in the lime light Murray, no matter what you're gong to be judged.

[Jordyboy9]

I really would like it if you refrain from commenting on my posts as I don’t wish to comment on yours.

People have addictions for so many reasons, but it's always to fill some sort of void in them and until you understand and deal with that it's pointless to try to treat the addiction. I know someone recently, they were sent to rehab and bunked off 3 days later to god knows where but they blew it and eventually that too becomes a habit.
I hope things work out for Daniella Westbrook, she's got some public support behind her at least and she seems like most addicts to be a nice person underneath it all.

If she was a lady on the streets then people wouldn't give her a second thought. It's just because she has had publicity in her life that her condition is one we should sympathise with, apparently...

[Rockrose]

No she's not a lost cause! An addiction is a terrible thing, judging people because of their issues is horrible imo.

It's odd how some people can take drugs to excess and or drink heavily for years without suffering any long term consequences whilst some, like Daniella, wreck themselves.

[anneasquith]

She’s what I would call a frequent flyer to drug rehabilitation.

[Jordyboy9]

Callicogirl I agree with what you are saying but she has had chance after chance to no avail,reminiscent of George Best and Gascoine

[spathiphyllum]

I can think of many people with addicts (homeless) who deserve the opportunities that Daniella has had, yet she keeps failing herself. These people who never get opportunities are judged and ignored whilst we cater to this celebrities emotions?

Seems like a giant double standard to me i'd rather be honest about it than signal a virtue.

[Calicogirl]

Hopefully on one of the chances she'll succeed Jordy, it's such a hard thing. My Dad tried several times before he kicked his demons sufficiently that they no longer had the power to exert that sort of power over him and then he could tackle his addictions. That was before I was born but none the less, without non judgemental support he's happy to tell you he'd never have managed it, so all you can do is support people trying to deal with things.

Folk watch Jeremy Kyle ?!?!

[Rockrose]

perhaps she has sought help whilst others have not - but oh to be so perfect!

[ladybirder]

mm // I would never be so pompous as to judge. \\
Have you any idea how pompous that sounds?

I feel sorry for her. Must be hell.

[naomi24]

I feel sorry for her too.

[Calicogirl]

I don't really care if someone is homeless or a celebrity everyone deserves a second chance ( and a third and a fourth etc for that matter). Nasty case of inverted snobbery there Spathi :(

[spathiphyllum]

well not everyone can get the kind of attention that Daniella can to receive help, nor the money or position.

Who you gonna look at Daniella or some guy wrapped up in a sleeping bag in the street?

But you would happily tell a food addict to go and eat another pie!
