Twitney Spears enters rehab! Threads Merged

Yes that is what they were saying, they wanted to test her hair.

-

Wow. She doesn't come across as all that intelligent - but that's some really, really bad problem solving.

I know isn't it!

 

[shopper]

Oooh - it just occured to me what you meant here. Maybe she shaved it to keep Kevin from being able to test it? OMG! She can't possibly think that would work right?! She does know hair grows back? I mean it will contain the drugs for a long time coming, I think, right?

Plus, she left it behind for anyone to test. Wow I hope that wasn't her thinking!

I don't know if drugs show up in new growth, but I tend to think it does. When I was in the hiring process of a company a few years ago, I had to submit to one of those type drug tests. The guy took a snip of my hair pretty close to the root, from the back of my head.

I've heard of men who wear their hair military-cut having to let their hair grow out (don't know for how long) and coming back for a drug test. I've also heard of hair being taken from "down there" (ewwww) but don't know if that's accurate.

"Twitney"...love it!

"Twitney"...love it!

So did I!

I said somewhere earlier, the first trip to rehab was like her first 'trip down the aisle' so maybe the second trip to rehab will last a little longer. Granted it might not take, but it might last longer.

Yeah, but her first marriage was to a much better guy. Too bad she didn't stay married to him!

Britney just checked out of this second rehab according to Perez Hilton. No word if she is going somewhere else or just going....poor soul...and her family must be beside themselves.

I feel so bad for her. I hope she can find a treatment facility in North Dakota or some... less populated place. $1k says that she left this treatment facility BECAUSE THE PAPARAZZI FOUND HER AND THERE WERE PICTURES OF HER PLASTERED ALL OVER THE PLACE, HOURS AFTER SHE CHECKED IN.

I wish people could just leave her alone... for once. It's only 30 days.

I hope she left for a more private facility. It is gruesome how they had pics of her everywhere hours after she arrived. God, I am so glad that I am a NOBODY!!

 

[curious1]

Oh so we are to believe that she has a problem with the publicty now? After everything she has done. Not buying it. :snooty: I would think she would encourage it so she could 'prove' to everyone that she is in rehab. She just doesn't want to do anything that requires who to work at it. JMO

No $hit. Why wouldn't she go to a more private facility in the first place?? North Dakota like you said.

I've mentioned this a little bit here & there on these boards, but haven't really "revealed" much because it's still difficult for me after all these years. But about ten years ago - after my son was born - I became very sick for months on end. It's a really long story, but for almost a year the docs couldn't find anything wrong & treated me with pain pills that I became addicted to. They eventually diagnosed & treated my situation - but I still had the pill addiction & was too afraid/embarrased/ashamed, etc. to tell anyone.

LONG story short - I ended up in a rehab facility when my son was about 18 months old. It was so hard leaving my baby. I thought my heart was going to physically rip out of my chest. But, I had to do this to deal with the narcotic pain pill addiction. Rehab is really very difficult. I don't know if it would be better for Britney to leave LA area & go to somewhere like Minnesota or whatever. Maybe the boys & mom & nannies, etc. could stay near-by for a month or so - so they could see Britney during visiting hours (in my facility adults could come every night but your kids only on Sat./Sun.). Maybe it wouldn't be a bad idea for her to get out of the spotlight a bit. I realize some paps might stake out an area in another state - but if it's a really remote place - like the Caron Foundation in PA - something like that - the paps might find it impossible to get pics of her.

These CA facilities like "Wonderland" (what a stupid name for a rehab place!!) and Promises seem a bit loose to me. Is Promises so close to the street that the paps were able to get those pics? There's no where outside where a patient can go for privacy? And what about Lindsay Lohan? She's going out clubbing during and after rehab?? I don't care if she's technically "not drinking". That is totally not a condusive environment for a person who's not even that far into their recovery. When I was in all those group meetings (and went on an outpatient basis for a long time) - one of the main things they tell you - (and in AA too) is to stop hanging around all the people who you would "use" with. Surround yourself with non-users, non-partiers, etc. You're not supposed to put yourself in those destructive environments. I don't get it!!

Anyway, Britney is clearly a mess. I hope she will get some real and serious help. Not one of these little rehab places that allow their patients to go clubbing!

OH, and here's a link about Britney's nanny. Apparently, she had a few things to say about Britney:

[Jeana (DP)]

A minor league hockey team in upstate New York is offering Britney Spears an all-expense paid trip to come and watch the team play ... and escape the trials and tribulations of celebrity life. If she does, the team is offering a free ticket to any woman that comes to the War Memorial Box Office with a shaved head! That's a lot of sexy, bald women!

The Syracuse Crunch -- located in Syracuse, NY, which is currently buried under a mountain of snow -- hopes that Britney will make it up to Salt City in time for the team's February 24 game against the Manitoba Moose.

"The team and community want to provide Britney Spears with a stress-free environment and the chance to experience a high level of hockey," Crunch President and CEO Howard Dolgon says on the team's website. "In addition to being 3,000 miles away from Hollywood, Syracuse is light years away from that pretentious environment. There won't be paparazzi within a 100 miles." C'mon, don't puck around.

If Spears accepts the invite, the team's entire front office pledged to shave their heads as well!

Silly Jeana. She won't do this kind of thing because she doesn't want all that publicity.

LOL I thought it was hysterical though!!! Spears is serving as a good lesson to my young daughter. I told her when we watched Spears shave her head on television that "this is what drugs and alcohol will make you look like." She didn't seem to be too interested in following in Spears' footsteps.

 

[curious1]

Hee, so maybe Twitney isn't such a waste of space and is serving a purpose. We can point to her and tell the young girls in our lives, see that, see everything she's doing....don't do it. Everything you see her do, do the opposite.

Parents should let their children fly......
But, they should always be just a step away....to help them when they falter.
To pick them up if they should fall.......
The shoulder to lean on, the spirit to spread......the heart to understand.
You only get two parents in your lifetime.......
The need to be close to them is ever present.....its nurturing, stablizing,
comforting.
In a rough, world.......these are the people we turn too. We turn to our parents.
Her Mom and Dad should be there.......to help her get straight......to lead her on a better path.....find her help......to return her to a productive soul of society.Who else can she turn to right now?
Your parent is always your parent......until the end of their time.
Fly as you may.........they are just a step behind you.

We don't know that her parents have not been there for her. This is not the first time Britney has partied every day and night, making a fool of herself. When she got married the first time I do believe her mom did go to her- that's why she got the divorce!

Then she met Kevin- dragged him on her world tour with her, remember the reality show she and Kevin did- those videos they took of themselves... it was obvious to me that Britney was wasted during every one of them. Even more so than Kevin was! During that time she also canceled her tour claiming she hurt her knee.

She and Kevin came back to the states and partied in just about every city. We don't know that her mother wasn't there trying to do something! Her mother sure was around her a lot during that time- the pics taken by the media are proof of that.

Britney fired several of her "people" and suddenly took over writing those strange letters to her fans on her website. Until then Lynn had done that- it seems Britney simply decided to begin doing these things herself. I think it's wrong for us to assume her mother didn't try because from the things I saw, it appeared she did!

Sometimes (ask any drug and alcohol counsler) allowing their child to screw up, stop rescuing them, is the best and most loving thing they can do for their child. There must be consequences for an intervention to work and most often those consequences are about seeing to it that the abuser’s life is going to be more uncomfortable if they continues using drugs than it would be for them to get help!

I realize to some people it may seem a parent isn't doing their job or isn't being there for their child but in reality they are doing the best thing they can for their child by letting them hit rock bottom!

I fault Lynn for a lot but Britney is now an adult, a mother and she has no excuse for her bad behavior... It's not Lynn's fault Britney is a drunk and a drug addict and is a loser!

 

[OneLostGrl]

I think the drinking and drugs are signs of a deeper problem. PPD for starters. I hope the folks in the rehab look at the whole package and not just the substance abuse.

This pattern of partying is not new- it didn't just appear after she had her kids. She's been doing it for ages and only stopped when she's been pregnant!!

Bingo! You have to let them fall, if you make it a cushy landing you accomplish nothing. I know I had a friend, actually several, go through drugs and alcohol. Their parents tried everything. The only friend who finally did get sober and stay sober even 15 years later was the one whose parents said 'Enough' you are on your own mister and we are not going to catch you when you fall this time. He fell hard and he put himself in rehab and it was his 3rd time in, but this time it was his choice no one made him do it and it took and he is still sober. The other 2, well they went to rehab several times they no longer do drugs and they don't drink as much, but they are pretty much still wasted on the weekends. It's a shame they all married and had kids. The guy who got straight is divorced, but since he is not wasted on the weekends he spends more time with his kids than the 2 dads who are not divorced. Oh and mommy and daddy still help their little juniors out when they get thrown in jail and need bail money or get in other kinds of trouble. They have done those kids no favors. They are in their late 30's and still need mommy and daddy to bail them out, it's sad.

That may be true, Narlacat, but the problem with dealing with mental health disturbances is that while the person is going through it, they ARE self obsessed and can't find their way back out of their own heads without a rescue team of sorts. That includes family, friends, doctors, rehab and maybe medication.

It may be her fault if she refuses help over and over - but getting out of a mental depression isn't always as easy as saying "WHOA I should just snap out of this!"

What Britney is doing has nothing to do with a mental health disturbance!

Listen, I get that the girl is going thru a lot- she had 2 kids in 2 years, her husband left her and her carreer is in the toilet! That does not mean she has any mental health disturbances. It means that right now her life sucks- and she's making bad choices.

Sure she's probably "depressed" about the way her life has been messed up but there is a huge difference between situational depression, which is a normal reaction to events around us, and Clinical depression, (a mental illness) which is triggered from within and is not related to external situations.

Everyone feels sad or overwhelmed sometimes when life gets out of control but that is normal and cannot be compared to clinical depression!

 

[OneLostGrl]

Some might yes, but not me .................lol

Yes poor Brits is depressed but she has more chance than most to get it together, we can't all afford state of the art rehabs etc
I can understand where she's at and I even feel sorry for her, but putting her crazy behaviour down to mental illness is a joke.

Absolutely! I agree!
