The Addiction Trap: Lindsay Lohan Goes To Jail

The Axiom Of Respect
Individuals Demonstrate Valid Behavior
By Treating Themselves And Others Respectfully
And Respecting Only Those Who Earn It


Okay, it has been 12 years, but it still amazes us how much Lindsay Lohan has changed since her film debut in The Parent Trap. Long gone is the cute, wholesome-looking, little kid. In her place is a young woman with some serious problems, problems that won't go away without intensive treatment and major lifestyle changes.

If you read our blog, you know that we greatly discourage blind celebrity worship and loathe the special treatment and free passes received by celebrities and politicians alike. However, in Lindsay's case, we are glad Superior Court Judge Marsha Revel sentenced her to 90 days in jail, followed by 90 days in rehab, not for the societal implications, but for her own good. ("Lindsay Lohan Taken Into Custody") Lindsay started serving her sentence this morning, and while we're sure she thinks this is the worst day of her life, it may in fact be the best.



Addictions are extremely powerful, and addicts can't recover if they are surrounded by enablers. With celebrity culture the way that it is, one can only imagine how difficult it would be for someone like Lindsay to receive the tough love she needs. The addict has to want help to get help, and we hope that this time in jail is Lindsay's bottom.

Life is very interesting. . . . In the end, some of your greatest pains become your greatest strengths.
