The underdog in this case is Amy Winehouse. I call her the underdog- because she was not expected to win. By winning I mean against her battle with drugs. If I had a dollar for every time I have read that Amy deserved to die b/c it's a consequence to drugs- I could have sent her to rehab myself.
What I think people don't understand, is that when you are on drugs- you are most likely already dead inside. Death seems like a step up to the person who is numbing their every moment with narcotics to escape whatever hell they are in. Self created hell or not. It's hell. Slap on being a celebrity and having your habits plastered across tabloids and I can't imagine that makes the journey any easier.
Whether or not she wanted to go to rehab...or did go...or didn't go... it doesn't matter. This is someones daughter, someones granddaughter, someones friend. Someone God created as his daughter, who never reached what he had planned for her. She's 27 and drugs killed her. So for those who think she deserved a consequence she got the worst one.
I happen to think if you have never made a mistake before- then you are pretty darn lucky. Maybe drugs aren't the mistake you made. However, anyone reading this I dare you to have a little fun with narcotics and see how easy it is for you to stop. Especially those of you in pain.
Don't get me wrong, I am not saying drugs are ok. I am not saying it wasn't her choice. I am not saying that she didn't deserve consequences. I am only saying people are really judgemental without having walked a day in someone elses shoes. Behind every drug addict is a deeper rooted problem often linked to deep rooted pain.
