Lindsey Lohan is back in the news, once again.  A judge has ordered that she wear an ankle bracelet at all times; the apparatus will be able to detect alcohol in her bloodstream.

As in most cases involving Lindsey Lohan, there was much drama leading up to the event.  She was scheduled to fly back to the United States after attending the Cannes Film Festival, but claimed that someone stole her passport.

The fiasco caused Lohan to miss her court date; thus, the judge’s decision.

Lindsey Lohan is not that much different than any other alcoholic and drug addict.  Until she stops kicking against the goads in the hopeless pursuit of being able to drink socially, these types of incidents will continue to occur. Like most people who are dependent upon alcohol, she must come to the “stunning realization” that she doesn’t actually WANT to drink temperately, because quite frankly, one or two drinks don’t get her where she wants to go. Like other alcoholics, she will relapse until she internalizes this concept.

Her “friend”, alcohol has obviously become a brutal task master, demanding an all or nothing, exclusive relationship. Internally, she probably KNOWS she’s harming herself; she’s paid the piper for that one, several times, already. Like the credits following one of her movies ,the scheming and conniving and trying to figure out how to be able to drink normally needs to fade to black; her friend, alcohol, was not going to give an inch to make the rapport we had with one another "doable."

Is it possible Lohan to ever moderately drink again? Probably not. But even if it were possible, she wouldn't do it. Because that's not what she really wants, and what she DOES want, is out of the question.
