Lindsay Lohan's Battle With Drug Addiction and the Evil of Hollywood

Troubled star Lindsay Lohan has vowed to quit Hollywood in an effort to stay clean from drugs, according to her father. I certainly have never been impressed with Hollywood any time I have been there. It kind of feels seductively evil and eerily pretentious.

As the son of a mother, who for as long as I can remember, was addicted to alcohol and drugs, I can empathize with Lindsay and millions of others throughout the world. I myself have found solace and comfort in Christ Jesus who daily fills my heart to overflowing with His blessed Holy Spirit, which is far better than any substance on earth.

The Ireland On-Line reported Michael Lohan reunited with his daughter earlier this month in Utah, where the Mean Girls star is seeking counselling at the Cirque Lodge treatment centre.

He says: "When we finally came face to face we just clung on to each other and did not stop crying for at least half an hour.

"Lindsay said:, 'Daddy, I have done some terrible things and been addicted to drugs but please believe me I will never do drugs again. I hate Hollywood and I don't want to work there. I need a break and I am moving away. I will stop hanging around with the people that are bad for me.'

Undoubtedly your friends most definitely help form and determine your future. Lindsay confessed that it is in Hollywood where much of the evil that occurs in her life happens. That being said, what is the film and entertainment industry really made up of and driven by? Certainly we who are mesmerized by it should ask ourselves these questions before being engulfed by Hollywood's infatuations and immorality lest we find ourselves becoming increasingly filthy.

No matter where we live and reside, drugs and sexual immorality can be found. Yet Hollywood pumps perversion right into our homes by way of television. Hollywood seems to applaud such a perverse and wicked lifestyle more than anywhere else. Hollywood is where self reigns supreme and people are allowed to be pretentious and mean. Filmmaking is about entertainment, which we all love and enjoy. However the stars being paid extraordinary amounts of cash for their performances recognize that for them Hollywood can become an ego driven and self-absorbed industry that further inflates one's self-image beyond livable proportions.

When young stars like Lindsay become brutally honest with themselves and desire personal transformation, variables such as friends and place of residence are huge. I salute and applaud Lindsay for taking an intense and earnest look into her lifestyle and everything influencing her behavior.

Lindsay is definitely a talented and gifted young lady. Gifts however must be guarded and properly guided. Otherwise we shall self-destruct when left to ourselves. Ironically we often are our own worst enemy.

God is the missing component in the equation for me. As a minister I'd love to help Lindsay get free and experience transformation fully.

The Behavior Patterns of Someone Suffering From Drug Addiction

Denial. This is a very common trait displayed by not only a drug addict but the family and friends of drug addicts as well. Nobody wants to believe that their loved one is suffering from drug addiction and often times people will deceive themselves in order to make things seem better than they are.

In order to defeat this destructive pattern I have developed a very straight to the point article that will clearly identify a few of the undeniable behavior patterns exhibited by someone suffering from drug addiction.

1. Isolation

This is probably the most typical characteristic of drug addicts. Because of the overpowering effects caused by addiction, the addict will almost invariably fall into a deep isolation. They will separate themselves from family and friends and become very downdraught.

2. Irritability

Drug addicts often times loose their normal personality traits. They will become very short tempered and irritable. This is especially true if they are ever confronted on their drug abuse. If this happens, they will typically become very defensive and enraged.

3. Unmanagable life

In nearly all cases, someone suffering from drug addiction will begin to loose control of their material life. They will begin to have trouble affording their standard expenses and will frequently ask for some type of financial loan from people they are close to.

These are the 3 most common characteristics of someone suffering from drug addiction. If this sounds like someone you know then it is imperative that you begin to seek out help for them. This is important because in nearly all drug addiction cases, the addict will not reach out for help until things have gotten extremely bad.

You have the potential of acting as the bridge between despair and hope for your loved one. You can find an abundant amount of resources online or in your local community.

Best wishes!
