She is rewriting history. Her management forced her to go. She bailed on Betty Ford and did not even complete 30 days. She wrote a song called "Escape from Berlin" pretty much bashing the rehab center. When she got out, she took aim at everyone who tried to get her help and fired her management company.

She has even blamed her use of klonopin on other people. She has always stated her friends were so fearful she would relapse they sent her to a doctor.

I think she did about 5 lines before doing this interview.

Her management company didn’t force her to go to rehab. That doesn’t happen in America. They may have threatened to drop her or something like that, but a person has to want to quit in order to quit. Stevie could have said no, but she didn’t- she went to rehab and she quit doing cocaine. You say she only stayed 28 days instead of 30? Many people go to rehab a dozen times and still never quit using drugs. Addiction is powerful, and it sucks. She didn’t like her experience at rehab? Most people don’t. It’s hard and terrifying and humiliating. Same thing with psychiatric hospitals- most people hate being there, even though it may have ultimately helped them.

I’ve worked with people struggling with addiction. The fact that she quit cocaine after one stint in rehab is surprising. She should take credit for staying off drugs. It’s a miracle none of the Rumours 5 have died of a drug overdose.

So much for depending on her friends to tell her when to stop it.....

Remember when Stevie saved Lindsey after his heart attack. Her note to him saved him.

I remember that! $he ran to him and performed CPR, then $he took off her moon pendant and used it as a makeshift scalpel, and performed open heart surgery on him.

He'd be DEAD if it weren't for her! He owes her EVERYTHING!!!

I am driving a car and you are my passenger. Suddenly I press the gas pedal to the floor and take my hands off the wheel. There is a curve near a cliff coming up. You grab the wheel. Did I force you to take the wheel? By your logic, I did not. We don't do that in America. You were free to sit back and relax and enjoy the view.
C'mon I cant believe even you believe this rubbish. So Mick is lying in his book how everyone including management "forced" her to go. If she did not feel forced then why did she retaliate against her management company?
When you ditch rehab you fail mister. Talk to any substance abuse counselor. If she had been on probation, she would have been arrested for such an act. Her inspiration for Escape from Berlin was her escape from rehab. Its a play on words but people were shot and swam under icy rivers to escape Berlin. This was her analogy of how she felt. Her words, not mine.

Landslide is about her saving Lindsey’s life through the healing power of over-obvious advice. She realizes this now.

By "forced" I thought you meant they handcuffed her and drove her to rehab

She's also said she went to rehab because she was mad at everyone for telling her she "had" to go.

But then again, what is "had"? Is that force?

The world would have most likely ended in 1975, if $tevie hadn't saved the world by joining FM.

Bills.

Cocaine bills.

They've written cocaine bills for her.

In her darkest hour...

And just imagine how insulting that is to the people that actually helped her through the drug addiction, and had to put up with and endure her abuse while doing so.
I bet she was really nice to everyone that was trying to "tell her when to stop it". Give me a break.

...And credit to Aleuzzi for finishing my thought for me.

I am a substance abuse counselor. No, a substance abuse counselor would not say that someone who left rehab after 28 days failed. But regardless, the proof is evident she didn’t fail- she did, in fact, quit doing cocaine. I don’t see how you call that a failure. She could have stayed the extra two days and then left and did cocaine again- that would be failing. It doesn’t matter how long someone stays in rehab- what matters is whether you quit doing drugs.

As for why she “retaliated” against her company, I don’t know why but I would suspect she fired them because she didn’t think they were doing a good job, or she didn’t like how they did things. They did an intervention for her after her tour was over. Not while she was recording RAL, not before her tour, and not during the tour, but after. You’d almost think they wanted to make sure their commodity made as money as she could for their company before they intervened to get her into rehab. But that’s business for you.

Isn't everything planned to the bone? Why isn't a treatment program 28 days then?

I know plenty of addicts who believe they failed if they didn't reach a milestone of sobriety, i.e. 30 days.

Treatment isn't just about stopping the specific drug use. It's about mind, body, and soul. Hence, quitting the drug isn't the only goal but rather a transformation of being into a spiritual person and a grateful one.
