Obsessed with these kale chips?

Elvis’ granddaughter is down for the cause. How cool!

I didn’t read your comment as victim blaming. at allI remembered your user name as someone who is in recovery (from one of those “ask a former alcoholic” or SNS posts, I think) and I read it as you empathising with Lindsay - dare I say, even hurting for her - and commenting based on that feeling. I did NOT interpret…

I didn’t get that from Major Lazer’s comment.

I AM SO PROUD OF YOU!!!!!!!!!!!!! i had 2 years off heroin in may (and everything else) and it was the best decision i ever made. if i can do it, you can do it, and if WE can do it, lindsay can do it too

I just celebrated a week clean off of heroin (and everything else, save for methadone). If I can do it, I’d say she sure as hell can, too.

You are speaking the truth and the way people are attacking your comments on this article reflects their complete cluelessness about the dynamics of addiction and recovery. Just wanted to say that.

I have no idea if this is true, but it sounds like her father is/was abusive as well. If that’s the case this isn’t “just” an addiction issue.

...continue being a vulnerable person in toxic and chaotic situations.

Agreed. But that’s not the case here. This is the kid telling people about the time the bully beat them up yesterday.

i assumed it wasnt necessary to say that her bf should stop beating her up. he should stop putting his hands on anyone. i guess i shouldnt assume people would understand i felt that way, but i do. i was commenting on my reaction to this article, which as a woman in recovery from drug addiction, is to feel completely…

Yeah you went straight for Lindsay has a problem with addiction when the article and her quote was all about being abused, you framed it as Lindsay needs to take action to get her life together when yes indeed it should be framed as her bf needs to stop beating her. Like another poster said, REFLECT.

Let’s say that you see two kids in a schoolyard. One is beating the other kid up.

It’s not her fault that he’s beating her. The point is that if she doesn’t start taking real care of herself that there is a large chance she will just end up in this situation again.

Why are you criticizing her and talking about her sobriety and what she needs to do when HER BOYFRIEND ABUSED HER?

For shame. This is the most victim blamey piece of nonsense I’ve seen.

god that quote is depressing. i’m nodding along and then get to the point about saying sorry and YIKES.

As someone who has lost a pregnancy, and studied psychology, I don’t think it’s the least bit irrelevant that she found it healing. I was so devastated I wanted to die... I could have paid $500 to slip on a banana peel and if it helped at all, it would have been money well spent.

Losing a baby six months into pregnancy is pretty specific, but really, does it matter? She found it healing... I don’t understand the need to “set her straight” about the realness of her experience.

I am so deeply sorry for your loss, I can’t imagine losing a baby six months into pregnancy. That must have been so heartbreaking. There are plenty of scam artists out there, but I do believe some people have a gift that we just don’t have the science to explain, yet. Even if it wasn't real, the fact that you found it…
