Some people can handle it, the likes of Rick Astley and Shakin Stevens seem quite happy to have gone back to obscurity ( both were huge stars in the 80's, admittedly nowhere near the global stardom of Houston but still very huge stars ) and others like Houston and Amy Winehouse head for self destruction.

I firmly believe that alcohol and drug abuse is a disease. If she had gotten on a road to recovery the rest of her life would have likely taken care of itself including her ex. Drugs and alcohol don't care who you are. A disease that is brushed under the carpet because of the shame attached to it.

The thing is... Bobby Brown was her drug. She was so infatuated with that man that no matter how many times she was abusing by him she still came crawling back. This is NOT an isolated incident. This happens all the time.! Some people just can get over it and feel that they can't do any better if they do.
It was inevitable that it was going to end this way.

Indirectly not true Erik. Take away the drugs and put her on the road to recovery and she would have left him. I've seen it happen as there is a major personality change in the person. It ended the way it did because of the drugs. On that point you're correct. Our government has failed miserably in this area and in some ways permits it to happen with alcohol and pills.

Wish it were that simple, Tom.
But there's a reason they speak of addictive PERSONALITIES and toxic RELATIONSHIPS.
If you can't get yourself sorted out, there's no way in HELL any recovery program will have a lasting effect.
Sadly this is what we've seen the world over, time and again.
Whatever the initial approach, if you don't come to grips with your own, personal weaknesses and demons, all the rest is just fighting the symptoms.'no passion nor excitement here, despite all the notes and musicians' ~ Falkirkbairn -

Tom - she went to rehab but always returned to Bobby because she was addicted to him and everything that came with him. He was a terrible influence on her life and unfortunately she wasnt strong enough to break free. That's a form of addiction as well Tom and I've seen it first hand. There's so much more to this then simple drug use.

There are three parts to a recovery program physical, mental, and spiritual. If you just do the detox (physical) part and not the other two relapse is almost guaranteed. One of the major components is that not using any chemical substance the #1 priority over and above anything else. If you're not sober the rest will fall apart around you. She needed to change everything in her life which she was not willing to do so failure is guaranteed. She was not willing to take direction.

The program for recovery is very simple. The human being makes it very difficult because of the complexity of the brain. Follow the 12 steps without reservation and you can't fail.

Such a shame about Davy Jones. He was a contributor on a TV show at the weekend on so-called "boy bands" and he was as chirpy as ever.
Apparently, Jones and one of Anne's older brothers used to play in the street together when they were young and living in Manchester.
When I was growing up I used to have The Monkees albums but did not have any Beatles LPs and so I have always had a preference for the (first?) manufactured band.The views expressed in this post are entirely my own and do not reflect the opinions of maintitles.net, or for that matter, anyone else. http://www.racksandtags.com/falkirkbairn -

Can't say that I am 'very saddened', as my connection to him and his work is a bit distant, but I am aware of who he was, and I had a friend in my teenage years who had plastered his room with STAR WARS artwork by McQuarrie.
I also have the Arista box set, which includes some of his wonderful stuff.
Sorry to hear him go.I am extremely serious. -

Philip Madoc has died after a short illness:

It's funny what you remember an actor for: two things. Firstly as the German U-boat commander in Dad's Army and secondly, as a lighthouse keeper on an old Dr. Who story "The Brain of Morbius" (I think).

At the ripe old age of 86 Robert Sherman, one of the most prolific composers for Silver Age Disney films has passed away.
Sherman' lasting legacy will probably the more-or-less Disney anthem 'It's a small world', but I'd like to commemorate and remember him for his work on my all time favourite Disney feature film soundtrack Jungle Book.
