This just made me think of Stevie -- and how strong she was to have recognized her problem and done something about it. I'm not saying Stevie is better than artists/celebrities who weren't able to live long enough to regain control of their lives, but I have to admit that these stories do make me impressed with her. Showbiz is a tough business. Really, also, it shows how vulnerable Stevie really was during her wilderness years. Stevie fans are lucky to have her.

Stevie's first trip to Betty Ford in 1986 was an intervention .She did however check herself in for the Klonopin addiction in 1993.
