While I don't want to give Johnny a hug, I sympathize with the alcohol problem. <br />It makes people do things they may not otherwise do. Drink is the complete puppet master with the real you taking a back seat on a wild ride. Maybe, and I have to believe, the drunken Stanford swimmer would not have choosen his actions if he'd been sober that night. Your post SoberMummy is a stern reminder that drinking alcohol has no happy endings, for anyone.

There is a lot of evidence from a number of sources that Depp had been abusing Heard for years. And as is typical, he was always very sorry and she kept giving him another chance. It could all be my experience.WalkingonSunshinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12032552302196182107noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4763877266715908242.post-19201513706462042262016-06-12T22:08:41.231-07:002016-06-12T22:08:41.231-07:00There does seem little doubt that he threw his mob...There does seem little doubt that he threw his mobile phone at her (hence the bruising). Naomi Campbell did the same to her cleaner! Vanessa Paradis lived with him for 14 years and says he is not a violent man. You may be right, Jen, but it may also be the case that Amber is not being entirely honest. That's what court cases are for, no?

The combination was always going to be difficult and in the end fatal. She could not fix his drink problem, probably thought she could with some love and care. Until he reaches his rock bottom he's not coming out of this. Let's hope he concentrates his love on the children and realises that it's time to leave all that shit behind and climb out of that hole.

Didn't though but there was definitely a craving and little things have been bugging me, breaking and having to fix the loo roll holder and some crap painting that will need redoing. Stupid little things that don't really matter but have made me irritable and wanting a drink. In bed now with tea and so passes another sober day.

I'...OMG I really needed to read your blog today. I've been cruising through the last few weeks, but had a MAJOR craving for wine just earlier brought on by gardening (I hate weeding), my daughter been unable to do a headstone (which led to tears), burning Jacket potatoes (I have a new fan oven which seems very enthusiastic), and not having the right fizzy pop in the cupboard! Reading that and seeing that written down I seem pathetic... but out of nowhere it triggered a massive need for a large glass of wine !! I haven't had a craving for weeks and it really knocked me for 6 ! Luckily there is no wine in the house and my hubby saved the day with a lovely cuppa and piece of dairy milk and the feeling is passing !! Maybe a cuddle from Jonny Depp would help too !!!WildcatsMaisiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07587229930490015694noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4763877266715908242.post-25023187340990901012016-06-11T07:49:27.209-07:002016-06-11T07:49:27.209-07:00Happy Sober Saturday, SoberMummy :) We are definit...Happy Sober Saturday, SoberMummy :) We are definitely all connected.

Johnny was so noble when he separated from his girlfriend of many years, add a little alcohol and drugs and, "Poof!" Gone. So many sad stories in the news, as always, these days. While I in no way condone what the drunken swimmer at Stanford did to his unconscious victim, I feel sorrow that once again alcohol has ruined two promising young lives.
