Yes, she was a human. I am still more torn up about the 90 plus innocent kids that were shot to death while running in terror away from a man dressed as a police officer. Much more tragic and much more horrifying than a junkie addict who had everything yet still chose to do drugs and fail at rehab. Amy did not deserve to die but I am not understanding how some people are romanticizing her death. It's tragic but even her mother knew it was only a matter of time (see quote).

Just a day after her unfortunate death, Amy Winehouse‘s parents, Mitch and Janis — seen above with the ‘Rehab’ singer’s wax figure — have come forward to make statements regarding her passing.

Unfortunately, Winehouse’s mother Janis told reporters that she saw her daughter just 24 hours before she died, and predicted that Amy would die in “only a matter of time.”[/i]

Yes, I read that, and I think it's sad as hell. who is romanticizing it? Certainly not the poster you quoted nor anyone else on this thread. But you're the type who thinks she "chose" to fail at rehab. Good god, there is no limit on some people's stupidity. [/quote]

I am not the type who thinks she "chose" to fail. How can I say that I think it's a physical disease and also think people choose to fail? I understand how painful the withdrawal is and how it's not necessarily something she wanted to be doing, however I do think that after X amounts of time in rehab you really have to stop and say to yourself "okay, I cannot help this person until THEY want to help themselves." In Amy's case I think even her parent's understood she was beyond being forced into help.

Good god, there is no limit on the way some people stupidly assume they know how someone thinks or what they know. I'm allowed to disagree with you, it doesn't make me stupid. There is addiction in my family. I've been told by professionals that while someone does not "chose" to fail at rehab, they, and they alone, really do control whether or not they are successful. Does that make me sound less stupid?[/quote]
