But when she suggests that her people were more protective than Amy's were, I can't agree, since she was on Klonopin for 7 years and always says that she herself decided to get off of cocaine before that, because she knew she would be dead if she didn't. She never says that her people got her off of it through their persistence and determination to see her clean.

The difference between Stevie and Amy:
Stevie had a lot of long-time supportive friends, band mates, and family around her. She was never alone, and, in general terms, has a relatively stable mind.
Amy was living by herself. I suspect that she didn't have a large network of close friends that she saw on a day-to-day basis. Her constitution/mind set was very fragile, and she was a heavy drinker/drug user right out of her teens.
