I didn't realize that she dated Wilmer, to be honest I never really paid attention to her love life. However I find it odd that he dated Lilo and after their breakup she went the party route. And from what I'm gathering here it sounds very similar with Demi. What is it with this guy? I don't know him but geez.

I always appreciated that she's been fairly open about her struggles. Because even in this day and age there's still such a stigma for people who have mental health issues getting help. People who are addicts also face the same stigma as well. People who still don't understand that addiction is HARD. They have some misguided idea that these people are just making poor choices. I hope that she's surrounded by a team of people with her best interests at heart. This is going to be a life long struggle and no amount of money or fame can make it any easier.

this is sad and hard to understand.....I guess heroin isn't as scary to people as it used to be...hard to imagine a privileged, smart girl like her putting a needle in her arm

I know very well how it works. I know she shouldn’t be in clubs, hosting drug fueled parties, and surrounding herself with other junkies. She has every resource to get clean and stay clean. There’s no excuse.

easier said by non addicted person than done by addicted person, ask anyone thats been there ie selena, justin, Hailey, miley, britney etc.

The thing is, you know how addiction works in relation to your brain. It's impossible for you to know how addiction works for Demi. There's a bunch of $h1t addicts should be doing. Do you honestly think Demi doesn't know she shouldn't be hanging around people who have access to drugs? Do you think she wants to OD and be on heroin?? She has any excuse she wants cause she's the one that's actually in her body and dealing with whatever pain she's feeling.
Honestly, posts like yours and the other one are pointless and do nothing to help anyone, aside from possibly making yourself feel superior in a way and illustrate how you truly don't understand mental illness and depression.

It's not presumptuous at all. Based on her comment, she doesn't understand how addiction and mental illness actually works.
Judgmental? 100% yes. I never meant it any other way.
People really need to listen to first hand accounts of people who are addicts. People who were "normal" people. Mothers, daughters, sons, fathers. None of those people wanted to get addicted. A lot of it comes from people getting hooked on pain pills for an injury. Pills that are prescribed by a doctor. These people had jobs and relationships and passions and a slip and fall sent them down the path to addiction. A path they had no intention on taking and one that was overseen by a doctor that they trusted. Once you get addicted your brain stops producing certain chemicals cause they're being replaced by the pills. So they try to stop and it's literally the worst pain they have ever felt. They literally need the pills to exist. But hey, they should just stop, right? Some of the ignorance and apathy in here is astounding.

eh, i got hooked on xanax before, became addicted very quickly and built up a tolerance. once I stopped taking them, the withdrawals were horrible but my life, job and kids were more important than the drugs and I never took them again because I knew I would become addicted again. At some point alomg the way, you know you are addicted and you have a choice to stop or not. No one said it would be easy but you still have a choice.

what a waste of a life .. to have depressions that is something really really bad but taking drugs over and over again .. it's just stupid..
I really wonder what those People will do when they have real (!) normal Problems like the rest of us. I never liked her in the Disney stuff, I always thought she was overdone and totally overrated. and all These interviews where she said: well at the last interview I was full of coke..
great demi .. that's really pathetic and nothing you should be proud of ..
I don't know if she is just stupid or if she has so many issues with herself, not thin enough, not pretty enough, not that good in singing, ..something she has to Offset with all the drugs ..

But, since you obviously don't have an addiction to drugs you can't relate. I don't have an addiction, however, because I have a nephew who's father has had an opiate addiction for 30+ years I've seen it, from a distance yet close through the effect it's had on my now adult nephew. My sister divorced his father when he was an infant. Ex brother in law remarried an addict he met in rehab, they had a daughter together. The daughter's mom and dad aren't together anymore, both are still using off and on, daughter has been using since she was 15. She was barely 18 when she was arrested while under the influence and eight months pregnant. She bailed out and continued using . She gave birth to a drug addicted baby, and left the state. My point in saying all this it's a a horrible addiction and disease, that one would rather have the drug than a child one professes to love and want in her life. she tried and tried and just got picked up again and again. And the only reason I know about her in more detail is because of the baby. We try to get the baby for fostering and adoption but the laws are not on our side or even the baby's side. The law wants drug addict mom to have the right to her child.vThis girl will never get clean as far as I can tell it's been a year and a half. The upside to that the the baby is now probably been adopted into a family a family that has closer ties to its mother, which kind of took our family out of the picture. Ex brother-in-law almost died 6 months ago using. I hear anything I know through family ties. It's a disgusting life. My nephew shackled to the ever after drug drama because he loves his dad. I believe the reason he didn't use and caught up in that life is because of his mom, my sister, who never used. It affects our side of the family because it affects our nephew. He's sad, worries and basically constantly takes care of his dad, who's now once again in recovery mode. It's a constant for him. My nephew's mom, my sister, died 4.5 years ago from a brain hemmorage. His dad is his only parent now, what a dad. I've told my other sister that I don't want to hear anything about them.. except for my nephew, I'll hear him, because he can't walk away. Until his dad and half sister are really clean (forever clean) or dead, it will never end for my nephew. I often wonder how it is for him to date, and get serious with a young lady and maybe marry.. who would want to marry someone with that family baggage? He's a decent young man, good job with a degree. However, for me, his family baggage would scare off thoughts on serious relationship. I hate them for their addiction and what it does to my nephew. But I don't really hate them, if that makes sense.

First, don’t presume to know what I know and how I know it. Secondly, stop making excuses for dangerous and reckless behavior. I have no sympathy for someone who doesn’t take their sobriety seriously.

The addict is under the influence, not in their right mind. Their mind is never going to be the same as their mind before being poisoned by the addiction.
