Dec 12 2006Lindsay Lohan sober for a week

Lindsay Lohan says she hasn't had a drink in seven days and has actually been attending AA for a year now. She tells People:
"I just left an AA meeting. I've been going to AA, for a year by the way. Well it's no one's business. That's why it's anonymous! I haven't had a drink in seven days. Or anything. I'm not even legal to, so why would I? I don't drink when I go to clubs. I drink with my friends at home, but there's no need to. I feel better not drinking. It's more fun. I have Red Bull.
I didn't feel bad before. I never felt bad. I just wanted to, like, find a balance. I was out too much. I was too caught up. I mean, I'm 20 years old. I was off from work, I was getting ready to start a film, and I was like going out just to get it out of my system. I was going out too much and I knew that, and I have more to live for than that. I was like, I don't want to be written about at these clubs with these people. I work, I act, I have a living. That's what I do every day. I work every single day."
Asked if she had advice for those seeking recovery from substance abuse, Lohan said, "I think, don't do it for someone else. Do it for you, 'cause if you do it for someone else you're going to relapse. It's not going to be a change. You have to really do something if you want to do it and ... if it doesn't work, you're not meant to."
So what we've seen from Lindsay so far is a years worth of AA? She might as well have been attending knitting class. In fact I'm pretty sure she was attending knitting class and just didn't know it. She probably comes home every week with some newly knitted mittens and is like, "Fighting alcoholism is tough."

I have an idea. Why doesn't she quit AA and start taking some English classes? Nothing that comes out of her mouth makes any sense!
10. RichPort - December 12, 2006 9:51 AM
I think AA stands for Absolute Asshole in her case. I didn't know they had meetings.
11. wedgeone - December 12, 2006 9:52 AM
So after 52 weeks of (allegedly) going to meetings three or four times a week, she finally has been able to not consume alcohol for a single week?
I guess I should give her kudos for this accomplishment, but I can't help but wonder how many sponsors she has frustrated in the last year by her constantly publicized drunkenness? Doesn't she realize that AA instills "No more drinking ever", and not "Drink only at home with friends, but not out at the clubs"?
Step 3 of the 12 step program: don't get photographed in a short dress with no underwear, so that your ragged cooch isn't on display for the whole world to see.

I was in Santa Monica a few weeks ago, and this guy was like, "Lindsay Lohan is sitting on the beach". So we went to take a look. But all we could see on the beach was a big pile of dogshit. So I guess the guy was right.
15. Carrie Catastrophe - December 12, 2006 10:01 AM
lindsay lohan saying she hasn't drank in a week is like me saying i haven't taken a shit in a week. i mean, no one wants to hear it, and who the fuck is interested enough to actually try to validate the claims?
oh, firecrotch.
16. BoognishRising - December 12, 2006 10:03 AM
She goes on a 7 day streak of no drinking, and that entitles her to give advice? Balls!
17. ch474 - December 12, 2006 10:04 AM
She's an alcholic teenage slut. Career? Done! What we are waiting for now is; a) arrested as a street hooker, b) girl-on-girl porn, c) death, and finally d) "Lindsay Lohan, Actress", a Vivid Entertainment production starring Mercedez and Jenna Jameson that cronicles her life as child actor, crappy artificial pop "singer", debutard party favour, $10 street hooker taking out her teeth for blow jobs, lesbian porn actress, and dead as a forgotten dried up sperm sponge.

where are the human rights groups when you need them...interviewing this chick can SO be considered cruelty to the mentally retarded...

"I feel better not drinking. It's more fun. I have Red Bull."
Does she actually think we believe this?
Well, we she called Parass a cunt and then denied it ten seconds later, so I guess she is either a pathological liar or the new Sybil.
24. chelleann66 - December 12, 2006 10:30 AM
Of all the stupid-ass stuff Ho-han has done and said, this infuriates me the most. It is this kind of bullshit behavior and these kinds of irresponsible statements that makes people think that AA doesn't work. So some people who really need the help take a look at this cooze and think, well, it doesn't work. Why waste my time. I'll just drink myself (or drug myself) to death since there's no hope. And the whole point of the anonymity of AA is not to protect her sorry ass from being "outed", but to protect the program. When assholes like this run around saying they go to AA and continue to look like and act like train wrecks, they really do a ton of harm. She really needs to shut her friggin' pie hole. Bitch.

I haven't been sober for a week since I was 12.
That being said at least I don't look like a greasy Mexican biker.
30. damon2020 - December 12, 2006 10:51 AM
I wish Mr. Cowboy would have knocked her out instead of knocking Pauly Shore out. On second thought, I wish Mr. Cowboy would have knocked both of them out.
31. Bugman4045 - December 12, 2006 10:55 AM
She seems compelled to state how much she is working. It astounds me that she can get acting work at all. She was decidely less than ADEQUITE in "Prairie Home Companion".
Though, A quick trip to IMDB.com does turn up 2 gems:
She is currently working on a project titled: A Woman of No Importance
and in 1992 she was on Letterman as a Trick or Treater dressed as....Garbage
Lindsay, please die.
32. raquel - December 12, 2006 11:13 AM
She's a great young talent, I'm glad she's getting help. She certainly deserves to be happy, with all that she's been through at such a young age.
33. HolisticWisdomcom - December 12, 2006 11:17 AM
Call me when she has been sober for an actual year and gets some help with her vocabulary, then I might find this newsworthy.

This pathetic little troll is going to crash and burn. You watch. Her ultimate demise is not going to be pretty, and it's not going to be AT ALL shocking.
GODDAMNIT she's so fucking BORING!
37. kate - December 12, 2006 11:59 AM
Wow raquel, what a sensitive, compassionate person you are. Way to be a buzzkill.
Wow, hasn't drank in a whole WEEK???? Somebody slap a medal on that girl. I got through 2 sentences of that babbling diatribe and felt my brain starting to melt. She's borderline retarded.
Meanwhile, the not drinking for a week thing is great, but she's not telling us about all the coke she did instead. Or crack. Or pills. Whatever.
38. Spindoc - December 12, 2006 12:30 PM
Big fucking deal, 7 days without a drink and THATS NEWS!?!?!?
If her being sober for 7 days is enough to make news then she must be a hard core, raging, one step away from the soup kitchen alcoholic.
39. LL - December 12, 2006 12:44 PM
Wow, this must be Endorsements That Should Not Happen week. First Paris "helping" Britney, now Lohan talking up AA.
Worst. Endorsement. Ever. In fact, I think on the scale of least-wanted endorsements, Lohan's shout-out for AA actually falls below Mark Foley's endorsement of the Log Cabin Republicans.
Way to go, Lindsay.

She IS a pathological liar. She wouldn't know the truth if it hit her in her face.

Ooo! Let me try! I wanna hit her in the face. That way, all she'll need is the Truth.
47. NicotineEyePatch - December 12, 2006 1:50 PM
She needs to be IN rehab, as opposed to just telling people she's been half-assedly working towards some type of unorganized self-rehab.
I'm more for Rational Recovery than AA, but Lohan has no fucking rationale whatsoever, nor self-control, obviously. "It works if YOU work it" doesn't mean finally after 51 weeks that you can stop drinking for seven days and expect to be fucking congratulated for your piss-poor efforts. Someone commit this girl and take away all forms of communication before she spouts off again. Because if I have to read one more fucking thing she tries to write, I am moving to another planet.
48. 86 - December 12, 2006 2:02 PM
She looks like she needs to be scrubbed with soap. Lay off the mystic tan, Lindsay!! You look like a carrot. You firecrotch!!
Do we have a new troll?
49. EJ - December 12, 2006 2:18 PM
Maybe she could just wear a fucking T-shirt that says "I'm Underaged" and then she could stay sober.
I love it when people admit to doing something illegal but, hey, they're celebrities so why not cut them some slack? Ten dollars says Nicole never gets jail time for her pot+vicoden habit, either.
50. stoplookingatme - December 12, 2006 2:21 PM
#20: It looks like Ali's Christmas Cd is enough to drive us ALL to drink. A Lohan Christmas? Two tracks featuring duets with Dina?? Yikes. And I do mean yikes.

Asked if she had advice for those seeking recovery from substance abuse, Lohan said, "I think, don't do it for someone else. Do it for you, 'cause if you do it for someone else you're going to relapse. It's not going to be a change. You have to really do something if you want to do it and ... if it doesn't work, you're not meant to."
My cigarretes give my kids ear infections and allergies, but they don't bother me. So why quit for my kids?
She'd be really great to invite to an intervention. "Quit shooting smack for yourself, but don't quit because we care about you and your behavior is inconsiderate to those who love you."
Addicts don't want to quit... duh!
Now, I'm glad I switched to full throttle.
53. techclerk - December 12, 2006 4:03 PM
THIS IS THE PERFECT PUBLICITY STUNT!!!!!
Next week she can get smashed and she'll be in the news again. GENIUS!!!!!!
54. techclerk - December 12, 2006 4:07 PM
"I was born a lesbian" is going to come off the shelf earlier than Lindsay planned with Nichole getting her mugshots on TV. It is not easy being the most ignorant of the celebutant divas at all times.
Go for the gold, Lindsay!
55. blahblahblah - December 12, 2006 4:23 PM
Whats the "Or Anything"? "I haven't had a drink in seven days. Or anything" Would that be cocaine? I think its cocaine. Anyone else want to venture a guess?

Dude, not drinking for a week doesn't exactly mean you've gone through the 12 steps or anything...

A whole year of meetings and shes only been sober for a week? Good job Lohan, Good job. This girl's such a fucking waste of space i cant even stand it. She makes Paris Hilton look like Einstein.

She actually looks better in these photos then she has in ages... see what a weeks sobriety does. She should look in a mirror and realise!
60. libtard - December 13, 2006 12:44 AM
Dear Ms. Lohan,
I am drinking a frosty margarita right now and it tastes gooooooooooooood. Enjoy not drinking for the rest of your life.
Gee, that almost made me feel bad. Okay, truthfully I haven't had a drink since around early October I think. But the next one I have will be toasted to "The Firecrotch!"
And way to go on the sobriety. God, I want to be mean and just can't pull it off. The wheat side of me wants her to get her act together and have a great career but the frosted side wants her to trip over a bum while walking down the street. I'm going to have to give this one some thought.

your star-fucking, rim-jobbing, compliments.
65. menda67 - December 13, 2006 11:39 AM
One year of meetings and one week being sober...the shame of AA. She could not have completed the first step if what she has done is to relapse continuously.
This is an advertising strategy
