Four For Friday - She Doesn't Talk About It

It is Friday. This has been a very long week. Constant news coverage of events just saps energy like nothing else because you are constantly wondering what is going on and discussing it and work gets pushed to the side so then you have to catch up and it has been an exhausting week. last week I mentioned a forum/message board that has been set up by some readers. That site is www.cdanforum.com It turns out there is another site that has been set up by readers to discuss in more length, topics that have been brought up on the site and it is www.cdanotblogspot.com. However they are in the process of moving to a new site but give instructions on how to follow them, so hurry over there before it is too late. I will be blogging all weekend and will have some reveals from the archives tomorrow. For the past few weeks there have been some on Sundays and I see no reason why that won't continue. This week I have not been up to tweeting very much because of all the sad news. Felt wrong to clog up a timeline with gossip and jokes when there was so much tragedy, but hopefully next week will be better and if you would like to follow me, I am @entylawyer

This actress is A list. I would say until a few years ago she was A+ list. Mostly movies. Now, as she gets a little older, she might even be close to dropping down to the B's. It is not that she won't always be the top lead in whatever movie she stars in, because she will be. She is not a big fan of being a supporting actress, but maybe that is something she needs to look into. Our actress has kind of faded from the spotlight that she was basked in for years. Although she has been around a long time, her experience does not really reflect her age. She is not a big fan of discussing her personal life so she has been very good about hiding her growing substance abuse issues. Normally this would be quick blind perhaps, but with this actress any abuse is scary. First it was a glass of wine and then a bottle. Just once a week she said. Soon it was just once a week that she was not getting drunk. People who came into contact with her were shocked she was drinking and watching her get drunk before their eyes. They always thought she had stopped. Nope. Wine became pot because she told people that pot was not a real drug and it was about the same as wine, but with less calories. Of course since she usually ingested hers in brownies, I'm not sure about the calorie thing. This was not an overnight process. This was a years long process. Well, one day she was with some friends and buzzed on wine and pot and she did something she vowed she would never do and that was a line of coke. One became two which became staying up for three days straight doing coke like she never had before. She thought she could handle it. She couldn't. There was a very very silent trip to rehab and for 30 days she was gone. Since then, she has been less about work and more about life and as much as she would be celebrated for becoming sober again, she just won't talk about it.
