 I too am a recovering alcoholic with 20 years sobriety. I'm just a regular shmoe nobody. Ignorant, cowardly people only like to make fun of her because she's famous. Amy, get well, you have my prayers...You can it...If a nobody guitar player from Irvine California can do it, anyone can...besides, you're a girl, so you have an advantage over us guys, you're smarter! Ask any man who's learned the hard way!

 I'm not making excuses for drug-use, but I think condemning Amy Winehouse for her problems is a bit judgemental and uncaring.

If she was not famous would individuals still take such a harsh view point?

Should society not consider the psychological and sociological factors that can influence drug/alcohol abuse.

 Yes i do feel sorry for her. She is a great artist singer and to have an addiction problem is even worst i have not heard the whole story yet just a little on cnn but i hope she is okay and will get in treatment to battle her addiction.

 Drugs are insidious and it seems a difficult habit to break. We need to give reformed users a chance to redempt themselves. If we took that away from them, then what hope do they have of being recovered?

 In the end, everyone is aware of what drugs do to you. When she was approached by a dealer/friend and asked "Do you want to buy some of this?" She could of said no. But hey, she didn't. That's her bad. Just like Doherty, a waste of space now giving youth a bad role model.

 Why is it that Celebs that have these problems seem to get massive support? The general population of Addicts certainly do not - in fact often these people tend to be put to one side, ignored and made to feel that they are second rate citizens. In Fact there are some Addicts who with a little more support would make it through - however if that person does not have a good GP - they often are left for up to 6months before a Referral to a Drug Addict Support Contact can see them. I have experience with this minority and they end up like ghosts, lost people. So no, I do not believe that these Celebs should be supported because then they are being treated very much more special than us mere mortals..

 We should not feel sorry for her. That would be a waste of are time. She should fix herself.

 I don't feel sorry for her or any other goofball whacked out on drugs. They're very entertaining which is what they want. Oooooooooo look at me,look at me, I'm drunk and on heroin oooooo look out I'm 14 and pregnant, oooooweeeee!
They, like anyone else choose that lifestyle. The difference is, she has more money than most drug addicts so she can buy more.

 I see no reason why we should feel sorry just for her

 Drug-crazed celebrities are hella fun! She's having fun, why should we feel bad for her? I like that whacked-out bun on her head, all the tats, and that nasal voice, and am gonna enjoy her until she OD's.

 She must be very determined to recover herself because she is very talented and can be a good performer if she is willing to change herself

 I believe we need to have compassion for anyone who suffers with an addiction or disease.

 Anything that happens is brought on by themselves and no we should not feel sorry for Amy.

 I use to think Winehouse was cool, until I actually listened to her lyrics.

I'm against druggies, and the false pretense that drugs can make you "feel better" or "calm you" etc. Etc.

I agree with doowop.
Haha lawl @ that :]

 She needs to feel sorry for herself...and then get serious help. My feeling sorry for her won't get her any better or get her anywhere. She knows what she is doing and she continues to choose that path of self destruction.

 No b/c she has done things that we don't want to happen to the ones we love and should not feel sorry but help them on their way to recovery

 Feeling sorry for Amy Winehouse will not make any difference to anything. I feel slightly sorry for her because she is very young and no doubt her record company bosses have put a lot of pressure on her to help line their own pockets BUT they have an interest in keeping her on the edge and in the news, so I'm sceptical about her various visits to rehab. I'm sure there's plenty of money keeping her addicted and then pretending to clean her up....ooh I'm talking myself into voting on the other side now....

 That girl is headed for self destruction..she's a pill head and an alcholic.

 No we shouldn't support them. That is problem nowadays, drugs and alcohol with celebs and they get a slap on the wrist or going to some posh rehab. I think I speak for most people if she or any celeb want help get REAL help. I don't feel sorry at all.

 Its their own fault that they do the drugs in the first place. No one made her do it. She knew as everyone does that drugs are addictive. The only person she has to blame is herself.
