Lindsay: "I Am Addicted to Alcohol and Drugs"

Lindsay Lohan issued the following statement to TMZ:

"It is clear to me that my life has become completely unmanageable because I am addicted to alcohol and drugs.

Recently, I relapsed and did things for which I am ashamed. I broke the law, and today I took responsibility by pleading guilty to the charges in my case. No matter what I said when I was under the influence on the day I was arrested, I am not blaming anyone else for my conduct other than myself. I thank God I did not injure others. I easily could have.

I very much want to be healthy and gain control of my life and career and have asked for medical help in doing so. I am taking these steps to improve my life. Luckily, I am not alone in my daily struggle and I know that people like me have succeeded. Maybe with time it will become easier. I hope so."

63. Very well spoken - not like her famous emails. I am sure the lawyer wrote it up. I hope she goes through with it - or her career is over!

66. If that doesn't sound like a statement that was made up by her "people" than I don't know what does!! When someone's serious about rehab they don't book an OK!
photo shoot of them at the facility!! Mark my words this girl will be in trouble again!!

67. That's a very nice comment that her publicist wrote for her to say. She's not one bit sorry. In fact, I believe she's laughing it up for not being charged with any felonies and having to go to prison where she belongs. I wonder what excuse she'll come up with the next time she's arrested for DUI and having drugs in her pocket that dont belong to her? She makes me sick and I wouldn't believe a word that comes out of her mouth. What about that ankle bracelet she wore to prove she wasn't drinking anymore. Apparently that didn't stop her. Not paying a price for what she's done isn't going to stop her either. I don't think it'll be long before she messes up again, hopefully noone will be killed in the meantime.

68. Uuuummmm.... She only pleaded guilty to SOME of the charges. Not ALL of the charges. Convenient, huh....

Whatever.... I hope she is sincere...but I doubt it. Only time will tell...

Good luck, Lindsay.

71. oh please Lindsay,


WHATEVER!!!!!!
Hate these half assed celebrity apologies! Show us that you changed by your actions not by making self pitying and self absorbed stupid statements!
Since when did " I take full responsibility yaddi yadda" become so....*rolls eyes*

Posted at 6:33PM on Aug 23rd 2007 by OH WELL

72. are you kidding me?? someone as stupid as lindsay cannot pull off writing something as eloquent as that! what a joke, a true disgrace to the human race.

73. So wait, she is only going to serve 1 day in prison? Does this mean she can turn herself in at 10:45pm and get credit for the whole day?

74. Yeah, that "statement" is as sincere as the BS we heard when she lost all that weight. "I'm 19. I grew up. I lost a lot of weight because I grew up". Ummm yeahhhh, you grew up and found Coke. Hobag Lohan.

75. Just left quite a nasty letter to the DA in Los Angeles. I live in CA and am tired of seeing celebrity after celebrity get away with breaking the law like they were jay walking or something. Being caught with cocain two times is nothing to sneeze at. I give up on any famous person ever having to suffer the same consequences as a regular citizen who is arrested for the same offense.
