Tuesday, July 6th, 2010 is a date that Lindsay Lohan will not forget – hopefully.  Lohan was sentenced to 90 days in a drug rehab which she will immediately go to after completing her 90-day jail sentence that was handed down by the judge rendering the decision in her case.  Although Lohan reacted in shock and tears, she is no stranger to run-ins with law enforcement due to alcohol and drug abuse in the past.  Lohan’s list of legal issues is anything but stellar . . .

In February of 2005, she got sued in a personal injury case wherein Ilex Harris and Eddie Pamilton were allegedly injured in an automobile accident involving her.  In October of that same year, she crashed her vehicle again in West Hollywood, CA and wound up getting an ambulance ride to the hospital where she was treated for minor injuries.  She was 19 years old at the time.

The following year started off with a bang for Lohan as well when the magazine “Vanity Fair” published an interview they had with her in January of 2006 wherein she claimed to be suffering with bulimia.  Lohan turned around and denied it even though there were numerous quotes in the article, one of which quoted her as saying, “I was sick. Everyone was scared. And I was scared too. I had people sit me down and say, ‘You’re going to die if you don’t take care of yourself.’”

A year later (January, 2007), she checked herself into a rehab because she “made a proactive decision” in order to address her personal health and attempt to improve it.  According to her publicist, she had been attending AA meetings for over a month at the time she entered the alcohol and drug rehab.  Ironically, 5 months later (May 2007), Lohan drove her Mercedes into a curb and was arrested for suspicion of DUI.  Additionally, the police report stated that a cocaine-like substance was found in the vehicle.

Two days after her arrest on May 28th (Memorial Day weekend), she once again checked into an alcohol and drug rehab.  On June 14th (17 days later) she crashed into a van in Beverly Hills and was accused of being drunk again according to a lawsuit that was launched in October of 2007.  A gentleman named Raymundo Ortega claimed that he had seen Lohan in the Ivy Restaurant earlier that evening consuming mixed drinks and getting drunk.

One month to the day (July 14th), Lohan checked out of the rehab center and celebrated the completion of her 45-day stay by partying with friends in a Las Vegas nightclub.  Supposedly, she remained sober and never drank with her friends.  Only 10 days later, she is once again pulled over by the police in the early morning of July 24th and was arrested on 5 different counts which included driving with a suspended license, driving under the influence, and possession of narcotics.

Lohan got sued again on August 14th and then charged with 7 counts of misdemeanor behavior stemming from the 2 prior DUI arrests that happened earlier in the year.  That December, a video played on the TV show TMZ which shows her in Italy partying with friends and drinking champagne straight out of the bottle.  In October of this past year (2009), she was handed an additional year of probation by the court for her two DUI arrests in 2007 because she failed to attend her court-ordered alcohol education classes.

This past April (2010), Lohan got fired by the producer of “The Other Side” claiming that he felt she was no longer “bankable.”  In June, the Beverly Hills court judge assigned to her case issued an arrest warrant for her and orders bail in the amount of $200,000 because she violated a court order to not consume alcoholic beverages.  Additionally, she was wearing a SCRAM alcohol-monitoring ankle bracelet at the time of her violating probation.

Lindsay’s luck finally runs out

Lohan’s luck finally ran out because the court judge did what was right by sentencing her to 90 days in jail followed by a 90-day stint in an alcohol and drug rehab.  Depending on her behavior, she could be out of jail within 23 days, but she has to go right from jail to the drug rehab facility.  What’s important to realize with all of the above is that Lohan has a serious problem with repetitive unacceptable behavior associate with alcohol and drug abuse.

Although she will be entering a drug rehab program for the 3rd or 4th time now, she obviously has issues that these facilities are not addressing properly.  Otherwise, she would remain clean and sober, as well as substance-free without ever relapsing back into that negative behavior again.

Addiction can hit anyone regardless of their fame or fortune. They can be an ordinary working “Joe” or they can be a famous star like Amy Winehouse. The world just hears more about it when it is someone famous which makes people wonder if the fame may be the culprit for the addiction. Amy has been battling rumors of her addiction for a long time. When a star is constantly in the spotlight it is hard for them to sometimes find themselves as a person first and then a star. If they cannot separate the two they cannot break down their addiction and overcome it. While surrendering to the thought of rehab for herself her fiancé, Blake Fielder-Civil is also in rehab. The couple just got a divorce in July 2009. Amy has been battling her addiction for a long time now. In 2007 she checked herself out of rehab. Amy had been on a party binge for three days when she sunk to the bottom and decided to get the help she needed. She had collapsed and rehab was her only way. Then the second time at rehab Amy only stayed for 2 days. After 48 hours in the rehab she checked out due to arguments she was having with Blake. Amy has admitted to an addiction with Marijuana and Cocaine. There have also been reports of Heroin use too. Amy has also been mixing these drugs with alcohol. Since Amy lives in the spotlight reporters have video and pictures of her doing drugs as well as drinking. In 2008 Amy won five awards, one for her song “Rehab” where she talks about her own experience in putting off going to rehab. When Amy was not there on location at the awards people started to wonder where she was. Amy was in rehab herself and when she accepted her awards she did it live by satellite from an English studio. If she was to perform her songs on stage it could have possibly set her back on her rehab. Starting over is something that she could not handle right now until she becomes stronger as an individual. A lot has changed since then and Amy has gone back down the same road. Amy continues to go in and out of drug  rehab hoping that the next time will be it for her addiction. Amy goes into rehab long enough to break free from the addiction of the drugs but she checks out before she learns how to live her life without the drugs. This is a struggle everyday and when she goes back to her normal life she doesn’t recognize it without the drugs. She falls prey to the same lifestyle again.
