Why do people think that drugs are the answer to their problems – the same thing goes to alcohol?  This is a good example of someone who had it all – but really did not have the mind and will to handle the success or the problems that come with the success.

Why do people want to give their mind to drugs and think it will do the job they can’t handle?  It all starts out with one pill and then it takes two to do the same thing and then it never stops until it is out of hand and the person admits they have the problem and seeks help.  And, some people die because they won’t admit they have a drug problem and seek help.

There is noting shameful about admitting a mistake – it will always make you a stronger person and clear the air.  But if you go through life with all of this baggage hanging on to  you and submitting to drugs to get through the day  – you are doomed from the start.

I admire Carrie for admitting her problem with drugs; but, sad that it ended in the way that it did.  The ugly part is that no one can help that person but themselves since they won’t listen to others when the drug has control of their mind.

Billie Lourd will reportedly inherit nearly $7 million from her late mother, Carrie Fisher.

TMZ obtained documents filed by the executor of Carrie’s estate that claim Billie will get $6.8 million in her mother’s personal property. There could be more inheritance coming her way, as well, as the website said the probate case does not reflect money that could be in various trusts.

Carrie died on Dec. 27 just a few days after suffering a massive heart attack while flying from London to Los Angeles.

An autopsy report released in June showed that the “Star Wars” legend, who had been extremely candid about her addiction and mental health struggles, had drugs in her system at the time of her death, including cocaine, heroin and ecstasy.

Just a few days prior to the June report, the coroner said that Carrie died of “sleep apnea and other undetermined factors.”

Billie addressed the findings with People magazine, telling the pub, “My mom battled drug addiction and mental illness her entire life. She ultimately died of it. She was purposefully open in all of her work about the social stigmas surrounding these diseases. She talked about the shame that torments people and their families confronted by these diseases.”

She added, “I know my Mom, she’d want her death to encourage people to be open about their struggles. Seek help, fight for government funding for mental health programs. Shame and those social stigmas are the enemies of progress to solutions and ultimately a cure.

Love you Momby.”
