Macaulay Culkin’s Heroin Addiction “Will Kill Him In Six Months,” Friends Say

Macaulay Culkin's Heroin Addiction "Will Kill Him In Six Months," Friends Say

Macaulay Culkin’s heroin addiction has spiraled out of control so rapidly that friends say they are worried the former “Home Alone” star won’t live to see 2013.

The child star is allegedly hooked on heroin and a number of prescription drugs and has come close to overdosing on painkillers, EntertainmentWise reported. Macaulay Culkin has reportedly lost weight rapidly and now appears gaunt, the report added.

The news came from the National Enquirer, with reports from insiders that Macaulay Culkin spends up to $6,000 a month on painkillers and has turned his Manhattan apartment into a “private drug den” where he spends hours every day getting high by himself or surrounded by fellow junkies.

“Macaulay Culkin is hooked on drugs and it’s killing him!” a source told the NationalEnquirer.

“He’s addicted to heroin, oxycodone, Percocet and Vicodin. I have witnessed his drug taking, which has escalated over the past year and a half to the point where he needs serious help.”

Macaulay’s legal team denied the claims that the actor nearly overdosed and is buying thousands of dollars of prescription drugs, Radar Online reported.

The timing of the downward spiral would coincide with Macaulay Culkin’s breakup with longtime girlfriend Mila Kunis. After being together for nine years, the two separated and Kunis is said to be in a relationship with former That 70s Show co-star Ashton Kutcher.

One of Macaulay’s friends told the National Enquirer that alleged overdose should have been a wake-up call for the actor, but it hasn’t slowed down the drug abuse.

The source told the National Enquirer: “It should have been a wake-up call, but it didn’t seem to have any effect on him. Mac is still partying hard. I pray that he finds the courage and strength to clean up before it’s too late.”

Other friends say they believe Macaulay Culkin’s heron addiction will continue to worsen until either he overdoses or his heart explodes. One of them gave National Enquirer the following prediction,” If he doesn’t get help and enter rehab now, he could be dead in six months.”

    Why is it that actors don't have the maturity to NOT get themselves hooked on whatever kind of drug, alcohol, etc? Is it thay are that weak in character? It's like they don't have any sense of responsibility about livng a life without drugs, dope, booze, or? Is being an actor a prelude to death? Then, they make the news and everyone is supposed to feel sorry for them for being so weak in character they've adopted this life style? While it is pathetic, they get what they asked for – no on held a gun to their head and said 'you gotta take this'!

  2. Ace Slater

    I hope he can get help soon. friends and family need to step up now before they say woulda coulda shoulda! now is the time intervention time! cuz when's hes dead its to late then!

  3. Laurie Ann Murphy

    so basically Mr. Caulkin is addicted to opiates. No need to list every drug and violate his privacy. hope he gets help before he kills himself with his habit. God bless McCauley. Godspeed.

    @ Mary…perhaps if you ve ever loved someone who s been an addict you would feel differently. No one wants to be a junkie. It happens to people everywhere, rich, poor. It s not just the famous, we hear about them because they are famous. try some compassion. no I ve never done drugs. But as a nurse I have seen the pain of withdrawal and recovery.

  5. William Polk

    Well if and when it happens , it could not happen to a better candidate. The only ones who will wail and beat themselves with sticks, will be the parasites who suck his body fluids. CIAO

  6. Raya Lynne DeCaro Oberle

    HE NEEDS A REHAB NOW DON'T WAIT! AN IF SOMEONE WONT SET IN HE WILL DIE…..HIS FRIENDS AN FAMILY NEED TOO SET IN AN HELP HIM OUT!

  7. Shari Greer

    He needs an intervention.. NOW.. I don't want to read his obituary.. I would hope those that care about this young man would get in the middle of this before they stand beside his grave and wish they had.

    I totally agree with Mary. It goes for anyone, whether they are in entertainment or not. We've all seen the effects, it's nothing new. All of us have known a person or had a family member at one point or another that has been on drugs at some time or another. People need to get a grip and leave the crap alone to begin with. Drink some dang chocolate milk, have a slice of cake – drink and drugs are not necessary.

    mary ann you obviously have never dealt with drug addiction in any kind of way…just becuase he's an actor doesnt mean he isnt human…it just means he has all the money he could ask for to support his habit. which is very scary…because laurie ann murphy is right, nobody wants to be a junkie. drugs are a way for peopel to escape (you can call it weak) i call it being human..we all want to escape in some kind of way. macaulay chose heroin.. i just hope he gets the help he needs

  17. Terri Kaye

    This has been coming for years, no one has really seen it in him, but his addiction(s) were already apparent over the past several year, if it surprises people, where were you when he did the flick "club kids", he was going down then. His addiction is the same as River Phoenix that people choose not to see, and guess where he is today. And we can also include heath in this as well. We seem to not pay attention to the ones that keep a low profile, and focus on celebs that so in our faces. Who call the media when they are going to be some place. So people to be surprised that he is in this situation shouldn't be. He and only he can fix it, and it is obvious that he is not ready, as we have seen in the past with Charlie S, when and if he decides to get help he will, an OD, without dying should be a wake up call, and I hope that if that happens he does seek help, and not die.

    This kid doesn't need help. If he did, he would get it. Just like he doesn't need help getting the drugs that he is on.

  19. Marvene Sotelo

    @ Laurie..I've never been DUMB or tempted enough to do drugs so I'm sorry but I feel NO sympathy for people who start and get hooked on drugs–common sense EVERYONE knows they're bad so if you so chose to do drugs you so chose to live/die with that choice!!

    My prayers go out to him and his family. Addiction is a very hard habit to break. We know he NEEDS to get better and unfortunately Nobody will change Mr. Caulkin's mind until he WANTS to get better. He will eventually die if not treated soon —nobody on this earth is invincible when it comes to Drugs they do kill and it's a shame. He is in my prayers.

    The addict is the only one in charge of being able to recover – or better yet, not to fall into that abyss to begin with. Nearly everyone knows the risks of addiction and how horrible it is. It is reckless and selfish to engage in a behavior that is known for destroying people's lives. It is equally if not more horrible for those close to the addict. What we need is some type of forced seclusion and treatment for addicts. Signed … widow of an alcohol addict.

    A junkie who might overdose. What a shock. This is news? One less worthless drug addict sounds like a plus to me.

    try some compassion people..i don't understand why people think that celebrities are not as human as everyone else..just because you have money doesn't mean that you don't have problems that you cant cope with. some people get counseling others bury their sorrow and pain in drugs and alcohol..that doesn't make them weak or less of a person. some people are never shown HOW to deal with their emotions and are expected to stuff them down and "man up" and be a role model..don't you think there is a reason that many child stars go down this road? its probably very lonely..you can never trust someone you're in a relationship with..if they are a celebrity, odds are you wont be together forever..and if they are not then maybe they are just after your money and fame..having cameras in your business 24/7 would be hard enough! just because you are famous doesn't mean you shouldn't have the same basic human rights to privacy! so yes he has a problem, and he needs to hit rock bottom before he can decide if he would rather die or choose to live his life to the fullest. loved ones cant make that decision for you as sad as it is. and intervention might help temporarily, but its up to the individual to decide for good. that doesn't mean everyone needs to condemn him and judge him.

    Look in to TLC (Transformation Life Center) in New York State. They have a great track record of curing addictions including heroin. No cost but accepts donations. Give it a try. Life is precious and you deserve it! Best of luck.

    Oxycodone is percocet……do your homework. Also, your grammar leaves much to be desired.

  29. Aurilee Strickland Payne

    In my work with addicts I found it to be true that they become POWERLESS to turn their lives around on their own. They need a strong support system and someone to direct them to a strength of spirit that is supernatural. Some turn to the Holy Spirit through the connection with Jesus, other just call it their Higher Power. It is an inner strength that they didn't know they possessed. He needs someone to take him there through love , concern, and willingness to stick close by him.

  30. James Roy

    Mary Ann – do you eat the donuts that are put in the break room at work? How about the birthday cakes? A coworker's candy jar? I would venture to guess that if you were in a stressful career and all of your coworkers had drug connections, you would have a close brush with drug addiction. In this case it's about accessibility and there are many drugs accessible to the Hollywood crowd.

  31. Laura Shird-Burbie

    Well said Joshua. It IS apparent that neither Yolanda or Mary have ever dealt with someone who is addicted to something. People who try that kind of stuff do it for various reasons, to fit in, to escape…etc. I am sure if you went back and asked any addict they would say "I won't get addicted to it, that only happens to other people" But it spirals out of control and your body and mind crave it (hence you are "addicted" to it. And for many addicts the withdrawals are far worse (mentally and physically) than the actual habit (in their eyes. Withdrawals from some drugs can actually kill you (including alcohol). But people are always going state their opinions, it would just be nice if they actually had first hand experience
    (either having been and addict or having gone through an addiction with a loved one).

  32. Debbie Colomy-Maguire

    In all fairness, why is it that people who are not drug addicts are "BAD" people if they don't show a drug addict compassion? An addicts biggest defense is that nothing they do is "their fault" – it's all "the addiction's fault" – which by the way…. is BS. If you choose to use, you choose to take responsibility for the associated actions. Feeling bad for people and acting like you genuinely care because someone is a "human" does not buy you a ticket into Heaven. Anyone that has REALLY tried to help an addict (especially one that wasn't ready to be helped) can understand just how ridiculous it is for people to say "oh the poor little addict', because there is no doubt that they have "felt bad" and got their butts burned for trying to "help". I hope that Mac decides to get himself help and makes the choice to live. However, no matter how anyone "feels" about the situation or how much compassion they show, whether he dies with or without dignity is all going to be up to him.

  33. Andrew Werling

    I prefer compassion. Besides, when you're hooked on heroin you don't just choose to stop taking it. It doesn't work like that.

  34. Joshua Dispain

    yes indeed it is…he chose to do heroin because well…lets face it drugs are fun. and if you disagree then you have never done any drugs..but i'd gamble you have had a drink from time to time (which for the record is the shittiest man made drug ive ever heard of). and why would someone choose to do something like that? to let loose..to unwind..TO ESCAPE! he's obviously crushed by the break up. he was very much in love it would seem and obviously cant deal with the emotional pain one feels after having your heart ripped out. but instead of having a beer he decided to do pain pills and probably loved not feeling anything for once..so he got more..and more…and more untill he finally became addicted to the pills and that wasnt enough so he decided to do the next best thing…HEROIN! and let me tell you..heroin feels fantastic..its better then any emotion you can possibly think of.. so did he choose to become addicted to heroin? i thiink not…he chose to not feel. im sure we can all relate in some way to this.and addiction is the result of the choices he made. now as far as him getting recovery…you're right..thats on him. and thats why im sad for him…he's not going to get clean untill HE wants to…and he obviously doesnt want to.so you're goddamn right i feel sorry for him..and i feel sorry for him becasue i have been there…its a hard road….i can tell you i did NOT choose to become an addict..i just wanted to have fun. not feel… im just one of the lucky ones to come out of it. signed…a recovering drug addict

  36. Angi Clarke

    Being an actor with the disease of addiction just got his story in the news. The only way someone who was not well-known would have been in the news under the same conditions would be if some other situation made the story unusual somehow. Remember, it is news because something about the story makes it unusual or different, not because it happens all the time. What is the chance of seeing a story about a person crossing the street safely, when the light turned green, in the crosswalk? Unless that person is colorblind, crossing backwards, blindfolded, and crawling on his/her hands and knees, at rush hour downtown, probably the story won't be reported. That's the difference between news and not-news.

    His friends and family can't help him – HE needs to want to change his life. This is a "you can lead a horse to water, but can't make him drink" situation. This is not an unfortunate inner city kid that grew up with no decent people in his life to teach him the difference between right and wrong. It's sad, but this man has access to the best treatment that money can buy, which includes getting help for any "demons" that he was trying to escape with drug use, etc… He's the one that is thumbing his nose at people who want him to get help.

  48. Joshua Dispain

    I feel sorry for him because I have been there….nobody chooses to be addicted..granted the addiction is a result of choices that were made…he chose to deal with his break up with pain pills and he chose to keep doing those pills until eventually he became addicted…and eventually those pills stopped working and he needed something stronger..in comes the heroin. I doubt he ever wanted to become addicted to heroin…of course he knew what heroin has done to people…but nobody ever thinks something like that would ever happen in their lives. I know I didn't. but it does…and its how you deal with it that counts….and this is where I feel sorry for him the most…i can tell you from experience that he's scared to even think about a life without heroin. a life where you hacve to feel things. and deal with reality. he's scared to go through the withdrawl (which is no cake walk). and if you have never been addicted to drugs I don't expect you to understand. but don't pretend to know the answers to an addicts problems…because you don't…you have no idea…we know what the drugsd do to our lives…we know what it does to the people in our lives (which is what made me stop) but some peopel are far worst than I ever was…and I was BAD…i couldn't even begin to imagine what he is going through and he I hope he finds the courage to face his addiction and overcome it…you're in my thoughts brother… and to those of you who say (well if he didn't do the pills in the first place…) yeah well shoulda woulda coulda…you're really going to sit there smug and act like you don't know what it feels like to want to not feel anything?

    chase the dragon, you get the gauntlet of fire. my mother left me on my grandparents doorstep when i was 5 years old to pursue a life of addiction to heroin. 40 years later, in her golden 60's she got clean. i never had the chance to see first hand what it really did to her, but ive seen others close to me fall fate to the same affliction. its awful, horrible and only leads you down a path of more horrible decisions and strips you of your inability to cope with life problems.

  53. Yolanda Rodriguez

    @ Laura Shird-Burbie Like I said – we have all had a family member or have know of someone who is or was addicted. We have all seen it. And to say that some people do it to escape from things or peer pressure or whatever stupid excuse that some people may use like James Roy stated – stressful career. If that was the case Doctors Lawyers, Firemen, Denzel Washington, Sigourney Weaver, and the likes would be addicted to drugs and booze. Stop giving people lame excuses – like some have said, "we are only human," what kind of crap statement is that. People need to have more respect for themselves and not let every little big or little thing drive them to some lame excuse. I was in high school, college, stressful job, family members passed. I have a child that has a horrible illness, but I refuse to allow anything to make me turn to drugs or booze. People that try to give lame excuses had the same choice as the next. Some people on here act like choosing drugs is as easy and excess-able as changing panties. Get real and get a grip.

  54. Robin Baumgartner

    Those that are his friends get him to Phoenix House somehow or RightStep…not sure what he has tried, but the these two rehabs are the most effective I have seen and will help him!

  55. Mark J Hellner

    choice as it may be or not, its one that stays with you for your entire life. i understand more than i'd like to that the suffering resulted from this type of addiction grows unmatched empathy in those who have experienced it, but when others abuse it as a form of control for the ones who still care, its even more dangerous.

  56. Jason Boyce

    If it's going to kill him in six months, how is he not going to see 2013?? Simple math. Let the man do what he wants to do. I'm sure he is plenty aware of how horrible it and he continues, leave him be.

    It is a choice – everyone has been thru hard times – devastation, but it is the choice that separate the addicted from the person that said, I've got to make it thru, my child, sister, uncle or family loves me or needs me. And yes there are some that have only themselves, but I know a number of people rich and poor that made it thru their trials and losses without using drugs. Everyone has a story – how you want your story to written is up to you.

    Talk about a damn shame….Someone needs to help him NOW….Although, he has to WANT to help himself first….but he is too far into his terrible lifestyle, that counseling means nothing to him at this time. He NEEDS to be put into rehab's padded room with just a bed & toilet and dry out before a counselor can do anything….at that time, hopefully, someone can get thru to him….He was such a little cutie in his movies….What is wrong with his parents? They were always there to pick up the paychecks when he was younger! God Bless this kid…Life is too good to throw a life away!

    Not quite the same, look at the chemical structure, there is a difference… Then look at purified heroine's structure….oxy is synthetic heroine! one of 20 plus opiates known,percocet is different.

  80. Mary Ann Hood

    Well, you who disagree with me are incorrect! I have seen addiction in my own mother, addicted to pircocet (?) perscribed for her by a doctor – she LIKED the highs it gave her – and the race was on. This is how they get hooked – they LIKE IT and the feeling it gives them. Escape? Of course, everyone wants to escape from something sometime in their life but thank the good Lord that MOST people have the strength and character to do it without resorting to drugs and opiates! They take a vacation, get therapy, take up a great hobby, etc. You who feel sorry for t hose that cannot help themselves without drugs and dope where are you when that guy needs help? Hey, step up and give the guy a hands up and be by his side. If you can't ;do that, then don't be so judgmental of others who disagree with the weakness that people like Culkin has and takes the easy way out instread of dealing with his situation! There will always be those that chose drugs over common sense and other ways to solve a problem or entertain themselves – they think its cool to do drugs – it makes them equal to their peers in the entertainment business! Too many people in entertainment are guilty of participating in and taking drugs to 'be a part of the crowd'. No, I don't feel sorry for them, and I don't have compassion for them except that I do feel sorry they are too attracted to negative behavior instead of saying 'no thanks, I'll sit thiis one out" and walk away from it. They don't pasy any attention to the facts on how many other entertainers have died because of drugs and addiction – Whitney Houston, Michael Jackson, Elvis Presley, and the list goes on – YET THEY CONTINUE TO DO THE DRUGS AND DOPE ANYWAY – NO, I DON'T FEEL SORRY FOR THEM since they never learn their lesson of "DON"T DO THE DRUGS"! And the dope dealers get rich because the actors are weak and lazy! Lack of maturity, lack of responsibility, no common sense – just getting high is their goal!

  81. Mary Ann Hood

    Joshua Dispain:
    You are saying that he is taking drugs thinking he is going to be the only person out there that can take them and not become addicted? Bull hockey! It isn't 'being human' to do drugs – it's being indulging in negative and harmful behavior knowing the risks! Walke up, or you'll probably be next! Stop making excuses for weak sisters! How did he develop his habit in the first place? Experimenting, is how – he thinks he's different than any other doper/addict! NOT!

  82. Mary Ann Hood

    Marc Kancler:
    You Sir are incorrect. I just simply do not have sympathy for someone that deliberately goes out to harm themselves by doing drugs and becoming addicted and then expects friends and family to save them – from themselves! They made the decision to take drugs – no one else!

  83. Mary Ann Hood

    Just think, Andrew, if he hadn't tried the first hit he would not be addicted, now would he? Heroin and it's being addictive is not a secret and never has been for many, many years!

    Very well said!!!!!!!!! Goes back to the whole "walk a mile in someone else's shoes" thing. U can never know what internal battles someone is goin thru and to judge someone for having a disease is sickening. Addiction is very much a disease. So why don't they go judge someone with chrones. I guess maybe I'm a lil sensitive to this being a recovering addict myself. But again josh, well said!!!

  111. Andrew Werling

    I'd wager that your definition of compassion is different from mine. Your comment is ignorant about herioin and how it works physiologically. If you've never had a moment of weakness in your life, you still have no basis on which to judge. So zip it.

  112. Teresa Yankey

    You have my paryes Mr. Caulkin. @ Matt Mcgovern, be proud of yourself and never look back. I have 15 years now and life has never been better. You CAN do this…..peace brother.

    This so true.My son was in that madness.He finally got himself some help.BUT—He still meddled in it.I'm talking about the herion.He was living in a mens rehab out in LA.His roommate found my son in his room not breathing and unresponsive.My son was 32 years old.I know he was struggling with it.But I was always there.Unconditional.They say, if an addicts system stay clean for long, then they pick it up again, it can be a shock to their system.I hope Mr.Caulkin comes around before it's too late.

  114. David W Zurek

    Yolanda Rodriguez …agreed,my father was an alcoholic for 18 of my 18 years at home,gay,serious mental issues,BAD childhood!My Father quit drinking the day I left home…it's been 33 years,but the pain never ends!I refer to my dad as"THE SPERM DONOR"!My MOM shall live forever in my heart,although she passed 24 years ago!Chocalate milk?That's your answer?Grow a brain and then go piss up a tree!Been there,done that,anything for this type of advice is abhorrent except the apology from the man that created me!

  115. Yolanda Rodriguez

    David W Zurek – my point is – drugs are not the answer. You may be too young to get it. Your father – put you thru a bunch of crap because he was to weak to give you the love you deserved as a child. When I said chocolate milk – I was being sarcastic. People turn so easy to the drugs. It takes less effort to do the right thing and not get on drugs in the 1st place than it does to get off the drugs. My brain works just fine – I was smart enough not to try drugs in the 1st place. Trust me my neurons are firing just fine and faster than most. So don't get mad at me – demand an apology from your dad.

  119. Debbie Colomy-Maguire

    Sadly, even if it were Mary's child, she couldn't make him stop doing drugs. People that have not dealt with addicts first hand have absolutely no clue what they're talking about. You CAN'T FIX an addict. It's heart breaking when it is someone that you care about and unless you face reality, you're going to suffer pain tenfold. Aside from the ache of watching a loved one deteriorate, you will find that they will piss on any trust that you give them. They won't clean themselves up for their parents, loved ones, or children. A friend of mine just passed from drug abuse. You have no idea how heart-wrenching it was to hear her children read their eulogies. Drug addicts hurt people (besides themselves) over and over and over, and they get to write it off because "they're addicts". I challenge anyone who thinks that Mary's post (or anyone's) is heartless, to go find an addict to help and invest their soul into helping that person. I guarantee, you will come back with a whole new understanding as to why some people seem to have little compassion. Compassion = enabling (that means you're not helping).

  120. Debbie Colomy-Maguire

    There are many OD cases when an addict has been clean and picks up again. What happens is that when they are at their prime of using, they know that they need X amount to get high. However, that is what their tolerance had been built up to over time. When they go back to using when their system is clean, they don't realize that what they used to take is now way too much, and that is how they end up overdosing. Don't get me wrong, if your child or someone you care about is an addict, that doesn't mean that you need to hate them, but if you think that you can help them or that they're going to clean themselves up FOR YOU, than it's just setting yourself up for a huge fall. So many people don't realize that "helping" an addict will often turn into nothing more than a rest-stop for them to physically mend, grab a bite to eat and a quick shower, and usually give them the opportunity to steal something so that they can afford to start off their next mission to get high.

  121. David W Zurek

    MORE OF A WOMAN YOU'LL EVER HAVE,AND MORE OF A MAN YOU'LL EVER BE!Why pick on me???just because I like to suck nice dicks has nothing to with my post!By the way,at your age I'm sure loosing a load would be a small relief!I love the taste of YOUNG body fluids,And the last time you tried it was…

  123. Annette Hammond

    I already know what an addiction can do.I've been there myself.What i was saying is,I never would have turned my back on my son,NO matter what.I've done my share of all different drugs.I do smoke weed,since i was 14.I am 52 now.I know my son knew what chances he was taking.The place he was staying in,just the night b4 a boy od in the bathroom,he was found in time.It's just sad that my son was all alone.I live on the other side of the country.Nothing worse than hearing about your childs death on Facebook,then finally you get the call from the LA coroner 6 hours later.Anyway,no,your reply was ok.Like i said i hope the man find himself help b4 its too late.

  124. Mary Ann Hood

    And y ou, bud, can go take a flying leap at a rolling doughnut! You don't tell me to zip it when you give a drug addick your sympathy when that isn't what they need! You must be an addict, too, and that's why you get so defensive and then start shooting your stupid mouth off! How do I know you are stupid? Your lips are moving! Weakness is when a person can't handle their problems and start looking for a wsay to 'forget' about them – when they come down from whatever immediate solution they found, they not only have the same problem they had before but now they have a headache , too! So, what did they gain, jerko!

  125. David W Zurek

    I don't understand you,mostly because of your lack of formal situation skills,however when you are clean,you always will hav

  126. David W Zurek

    a drug addicts always ganna be one untill they are ready to get help. u cant force someone to do it. u can only show support and when he is ready he will get the help he needs. hopefully its not to late by that time

  133. Nichole Pejack

    I can't believe some people still think you have to be mature enough to NOT do drugs. Maturity has nothing to do with having an addictive-personality nor does it have any weight over the affects of depression and the need to stop certain emotional pain. Don't judge others…it only makes you look like more of an idiot.

    Yolanda Rodriguez -I am a 51 year old male,so I doubt that you are much older than me…I used marijuana,LSD,PCP(now called methamphetamine),did the '80's coke thing,etc,.etc.,But because of the will of GOD I no longer wanted it!My Sperm Donor chose to neglect what he knew until 25 years after the fact!It was thrown in my face to make me face reality!What reality?That he stabbed me!!!!!! Now,33 years later,us children are not allowed to bring up his past,but he continually flaunts who he is now as opposed to the monster he was then!No,I'm not the norm,I am USA today!Check the facts!

  137. Yolanda Rodriguez

    @ David W Zurek. The facts have been checked – and you are a prime example of what I am talking about. So your father treated you all types of wrong and was on drugs and you turned around and took drugs too. Really – are you serious. You just proved the facts. My mother did drugs and I was not going to do the same stupid crap. I made up my mind as a teenager that I would not fall into the same dumb trap. It is a choice. So you stay mad – and cush people out if that is what makes you feel better. How can you call Mary Ann out of her name. You may be 51 but you are very immature.

  138. Robyn Baker

    I agree with you Debbie- that you can not fix an addict. An addict has to want to help themselves so they can recover. As a greatful recovering addict of almost 4 years I'd like to say- Thank God the lie is dead, we do recover!

  139. Yolanda Rodriguez

    Mary Ann – you are soo on point. I am giving you High 5's!! You said it all and I totally agree.

  140. Laurie Ann Murphy

    Yolanda you are clueless. Do some research, educate yourself. Drug use is now pandemic. America has lost the war on drugs. Don t judge someone for their choice. one day you will be judged.

  141. Laurie Ann Murphy

    Sandy DeCarlo Pohlman all addicts "know better". until you ve been where they have been you can not understand the confusion, fear, uncertainty, feelings of abandonment and physical and psycological dependence these people go through. it is truly tragic. This is a disease, not a past time.

  142. Laurie Ann Murphy

    Debbie Colomy-Maguire what difference does it make where he s from….inner city…hollywood hills??? addiction does not discriminate. You people who judge him should be ashamed. This man is SICK….do you get that addictions and compulsions are diseases???

  143. Laurie Ann Murphy

    Yolanda Rodriguez you know nothing about why people turn to drugs or alchol or cutting themselves or any other destruction they put on themselves. It would be nice not to hear from you anymore.

  144. Laurie Ann Murphy

    Debbie Colomy-Maguire who and when did anyone call you or anyone else who abstains from drugs/alcohol "BAD" because they felt no compassion for an addict? Do you have the ability to feel compassion….for the homeless?….our troops overseas?….abused children?….Seriously?

  145. Alfred Moya

    There are 1000's of addicts in the same or worse shape but no news articles or outpouring of sympathy for them. It's beyond sad that people want to save this one young man when the reality is he is no better or worse than any of us. Truth be told if he died it might bring attention to so many others who need help and cannot afford it.

  147. Reva Cordray Braman

    It is time for society to realize that addicts are suffering from an illness, not a weakness of character or morals. I, too know the heartbreak of knowing someone who is dying from their illness. I have lost a child, a nephew and a niece to drug addiction. None of them were evil. I also wish people would wake up to the dangers of alcohol. The propaganda would have us believe that cannabis is the gateway to drug abuse, when in truth, it is alcohol which introduces a person to getting "high" for the first time. How many homes keep an ample supply of booze or beer or wine? Addicts are addicts, no matter what drug they use. Addicts are seeking release from a psychic pain. Laurie Ann Murphy

  148. Ineilia Cocoa Nedd

    Sad it is….for when one needs help we are not there for him/her,yet when one dies the media acknowledge him/her…i really dont overstand some ppl at times lord have mercy!!!!

  149. Vicki Bisher

    I have had 0ver 12 surgeries in the past 10 years, and the chronic pain from two surgeries has eventually got me hooked. I don't know when it happened or how but it creaps up on you before it's too late. You build up a tolerance being on these stupid drugs and then more is needed to control the pain. Before I knew it I became addicted. It is a disease, and a lot of people don't look at it that way. A lot of people start out like this…. I hope I know my limit to take to not end up in an ER .Many times, I tried to stop and get help because I want to live a long life, but I basically take them every month for the past years. I get my liver checked every 6 months. My question is, if I become terminal or battling something that is excruciating pain later in life, will the pain meds actually work, because of my high tolorence? When will they come out with a drug that is not addictive to help millions of us around the world. I don't do it for "FUN" it just took control of my body. I am trying to eat more cholcolate instead of popping a pill. THAT makes me happy. Good luck to MaCaulay. God Speed to him.

    I don't understand why people are so judgmental of him… anyone can become an addict.. it is a disease! This disease hurts the person taking the drugs, and the people that love them. I am a recovering addict and have to watch my long time love killing himself, its a horrible thing with these perscriptiion drugs. Go after the docs that write out roxy and oxycodone to so many people. Young people shouldn't be taking these heavy duty drugs unless its from surgery. It is true no matter how much you plea or pray, you can lead the horse to water but you can't make it drink.

  151. Reva Cordray Braman

    An addict who is caught up in their addiction is not sane at that time. Compassion does have to mean enabling. Tough love is tough on the parents and loved ones of addicts, too. I agree that you can't help someone who can't help with their treatment. I pity him and the people who really love him.

  152. Laura Shird-Burbie

    Joshua…..You have written the most truthful, heartfelt, knowledgeable post that I have seen on this board. I am sorry, though, that it had to be from your own personal experience. But you have obviously come through that and for that you deserve a huge congratulations! I personally have not been addicted to anything, but have watched people go through it and my ex-husband died last fall, at 50 years old, due to an alcohol addiction. I am glad that you did not face the same fate. God Bless!

  153. Mary Ann Hood

    Ya know, I don't have any sympathy for the likes of you that resort to name calling when you get frustrated – much l ike taking drugs when you can't cope with 'life' when it confronts you. You are jealous and you resent others getting more attention than you so you resort to childish behavior by acting up and being totally immature! Lets see, you stated you were 31 years of age, going on 10, right? You are acting like an immature frustrated teenager that is throwing himself on the floor kicking and screaming because someone disagreed with you – a classic example of a loose cannon that is ripe for being an addict! Then you want 'compassion' and 'understanding' from everyone because you can't handle living! Hey, you want to compare childhoods? You think YOU had it bad? You are like others that claim a bad child hood is responsible for them being a serial killer, burglar, car thief, and committing other felonious offenses, just because you have a stressful job (so quit) and your daddy didn't tell you he loved you enuf! You, Mr. David R. Zurek, are pathetic and a poor excuse for a man. Do you think you walk around with a gold penis or something? You sing 'oh woe is me' all of the time because you have a total lack of character and have learned what ti is to 'man up'. Disappear Zurek, you bore me!

  154. Mary Ann Hood

    Hey, Laurie Ann Murphy, you accuse others of being 'judgmental' – just what the hell do you think YOU are being? Duh! (Learn how to spell, twit).

  155. Mary Ann Hood

    That 'one day' has come for YOU – you judge others but you refuse to allow them to be judgmental – double standard! Yolanda has already forgotten MORE than you will ever know so knock off the attack. You would bre a good 'couple/partner' for Zurek, both pathetic!

  156. Mary Ann Hood

    Well, kiddo, I raised three, two boys and one girl, and never had that problem because my kids had a caring parent! ME! If I even thought my child was involved in drugs it would be taken care of immediately and I would do what needed to be done – but my kids were taught to be responsible, to handle daily problems and life in general. When they left home they could take care of themselves completely! Now, you have people giving birth that have the morals of an alley cat and drop babies without even know who the 'baby daddy is'. Future drug dealers and addicts! You that cry 'compassion' – go out and take these addicts under your wing and spend YOUR money taking care of them and see them through rehab then monitor them for the rest of their lives to make sure they stay 'clean"!!! You won't do that,of course, you just like to spew venon and shoot your mouth off!

  157. Mary Ann Hood

    Laurie Ann Murphy Like I said, you and the name calling Zurek would make a good couple. When you are defeated you resort to the childish name calling so you can feel better about yourself. I must be hitting a nerve for you to get so frustrated which makes you a really pathetic, helpless, potential addict yourself. I feel sorry for your husband – you must spend most of your time lamenting and crying tons! No, I couldn't be related to you – we drowned the deformed ones when they are born. Mental problems do NOT run in my family, only yours! Your problem is I do have more intelligence than you and you cnanot assimilate my information correctly consequently get frustrated and beliigerent instead – grow up, honey child, and get a life! Duh! Is your IQ any larger than your shoe size? I doubt it!

  158. Mary Ann Hood

    I knew it, I knew it, an addict! If that isn't the pot calling kettle black! Ha! Soooooo, little weak sister, yo daddy wasn't what you expected so you resorted to drugs to cover 'your bad feeling's asnd unhappy childhood? Nah, you did drugs because you were feeling sorry for yourself and couldn't handle the rejection! Yep, you had choices but you made the wrong one! You fault! Now, WE are supposed to feel 'coompassions' for you because you are a blithering idiot!

  159. Nashique Smith

    It's funny that the so called friends will put his business out in the media but not one of them has said they tried to get him some help or intervention in the matter. I guess you really know who his friends are ! Stop talking about him needing help and try to help him if you really care. Quote on quote friends !

    so sad..you would think a close friend or family member would step in and help him..before its too late..shame really this world is so interested in publicly telling his addition but not helping him..

  166. Laurie Ann Murphy

    you are an idiot with absolutely no knowledge about substance abuse. BTW you might want to check websters' dictionary to learn how to spell. My spelling is spot on .

  167. Reva Cordray Braman

    Addiction is a disease!!! Study after study has shown that it is genetic. Not that it means you have to be an addict, but some event or series of events can trigger the disease. Recovery is hard. Diabetics have a hard time resisting foods that are restricted, but we don't condemn them or call them morally defective if they have a piece of cake. Get an education about the subject. Anyone with a disease needs help and encouragement. Nearly every movie or tv show has people cheerfully drinking alcohol. We are bombarded with ads for drugs to cure everything.

    little girl, I am a certified substance abuse specialist with a masters degree. Don t spew your crap on this site until you know what you are talking about. I judge no one, i just tell it lke it is. Don t like to hear it? Study in the library and learn about the disease of addiction. it is a devastating disease that affects eeveryone who cares about the addict. My judgement day is yet to come. I care about others and my clients. Don t dirty this site with your lack of knowledge.

  170. Nichole Pejack

    AMEN Reva!!!!! What you wrote is the smartest thing I've read on here. Kudos to you for having a true understanding of it all.

  171. Mary Ann Hood

    Has it ever occurred to anyone that maybe McCauley is trying to commit sucide by drugs? He knows he is addicted, he knows his friends are concerned and yak at him constantly to get help, but the more they yak, the more drugs he uses! It is a losing battle unless some relative simply commits him to a rehab center and the guys in the white jackets come and take him away! Maybe he doesn't WANT to see 2013! Maybe, since he hasn't been in a movie for years, is broke and looking for a 'way out'. It happens! I mean, look at him, he isn't exactly 'leading man' stuff for good movie of any kind! He simply doesn't fit any part anymore! He is in limbo! What kind of movie, or TV show could he make – Doogie has already been done! At least this dope gig got his name in the papers! However, that does not put money in his pockets! If he didn't want to do the drugs he wouldn't buy them, take them, and continue doing so to the point it just might kill him – all intentional! This means you are a helpless critter – where is compassion supposed to fit in – does that solve his problem? Get him help? Nah, it just makes YOU feel better about yourself but is of no consequence to an addict! Now, you can pat yourself on the back and say to others 'oh, but I have compassion for him' – great, that and $1.75 mgiht get me a cup of coffee someplace!

  172. Laurie Ann Murphy

    my IQ is 160. It seems to me you are the angry child. You don t like to be scolded so you resort to defensiveness. The wording of you message reveals that you are the frustrated one. "We drown our deformed at birth?" very classy ms. Hood. I am not defeated sweetie. I have knowledge and education. That empowers me. What do you have? A lack of knowledge and poor spelling. Get on with your life and stop bothering me.

  173. Nicolas Fradera

    I'm sorry for him;because I know what is heroine..I will retired for 6 years;and. I fill so better and happiness.Jesus love him and I prair for Mr.Caulkin.God bless his life…

  174. Ketchum Kenneth

    All this article is doing is causing people who want to meet and hang out with him to score a few scripts of pain killers and go and ask, "hey dude, I got pills, want to chill?" and blammo it's chillen with the home alone star and soon you'll see all kinds of people with their facebook pictures of them and he together, but we'll all know the price they all paid, and some are even likely hoping to see the poor kid pass away so they can then sell their secret videos to the gossip rags and even the BIG news inc's,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,, that's my say,

  175. Ketchum Kenneth

    one last comment here, I can see it now,, some nobody crying, bawling, "OMG HE WAS LIKE THE COOLEST GUY I'VE EVER KNOW, LIKE HE WAS SO AWESOME AND LOVING AND HAD SUCH PAINS HE ONLY SHARED WITH ME,",, but really it's all scripted, rehearsed now, so that then, they can be the "girl who knew home alone star better than anybody speaks frankly about his last days and final moments leading up to his tragic short life",,,,, that is why I'm reaching out now, ME, to YOU 'home alone star', come here to wilkes barre, pa, you can hide in my studio//loft apt and get all better. You can use my scooter, and my bike, and well no one will know you're here cuz I promise I won't tell a soul, until, "man who nursed home alone star finally speaks out about what he went through",,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,

  176. Ketchum Kenneth

    sorry, seriously this is my last comment, I have there in the nobodies headline with ",,,,,,,,,,,,,,,, final moments leading up to his tragic short life" actually from a literary sense seems like they were there for his birth, so well, you know what I mean, etc, ", ,,, ,,, final moments leading up to the actual moment his tragic short life ceased",,,, thanks, sorry,

  177. Ketchum Kenneth

    dangit, I need to make one last correction/edit, I meant to say, "man who nursed home alone star back to reality and to health and spiritual homeostasis finally speaks out about what he went through",,,, okay, seriously "fin".

  178. Linda Catherine Aversa

    Laurie Ann, It's spelled you are or you're not you re. That's what Mary Ann is talking about so, no your spelling is NOT spot on. & you are not a nice person either, Mary Ann, however, WAS spot on wirh all her comments & you are the one being judgemental of her. You seem to have interjected yourself in most of the posts here & all of your comments were hateful. Anyway I thought this was about Caulkin.

  179. Linda Catherine Aversa

    Ketchum, you forgot about his picture on the front of every scum magazine like the Star & National Enquirer as they did with Mike jackson in his coffin. Pitiful what ppl will do for a buck.
    & then someone will write a book about his life. He'll be more famous after death then he is now. Hollywood used him & threw him away, where have I heard that story before?

  181. David W Zurek

    I'm afraid that the magnitude of my phraseology might insult your indignant comprehension Mary ANN!If aaahhh expresses how you feel,you,woman,have a problem!

  184. Amy Michelle Garza

    drugs is not a disease. now cancer that's a disease. the only thing these stars are doin is teachin our kids is that doin drugs are cool. addiction and compulsion can be cured if you have the strength to get help or to let someone help you. but they are not a disease.

  185. Mary Ann Hood

    INDIGNANT comprehension? I've never seen comprehension get indignant, but you have? Tell me, where did you see that or hear of it? That must be one for Ripley's Believe it or Nlot! Come on, David, everyone knows what a twit you are already, so why add to it by y our insipid remarkes? You should say something like " evidently my diction is too copious for your comprehension" then it would make sense, but when you try to impress someone with words that do not belong together then you just look stupid, stupid! Another ridiculous comment of your is" the magnitude of my phraseology" – hummmm, so you think your phraseology is monumental and huge? Wrong, silly boy, it's just ignorant! Stop trying to impress us, you lost your chance and now you just look like the north end of a south bound mule! Ha! Figure that one out!

  186. David W Zurek

    Any one ever tell you you're a bitch?They were right!The comment which you took upon to answer was written by my SR.H.S.Honors English teacher and it was a line from one of his many published works!!You would probably try to straighten out my shit if it wasn't perfect before I flushed!Where do you get off trying to BASH me in an article that is talking about the seriousness of someones very life?Why turn on opinions instead of addressing the problem lying before you?Simple,to draw your NEEDED attention away from the subject at hand and to fulfill your selfish,self-righteous,self-absorbed need to attempt seniority in order to CONTROL those who disagree with your,opinions!Didn't work!I think I know your problem…when was the last time you climaxed without paying for it?Get laid,get a real life and keep your focus on the matter at hand,not others opinions!As far as the mule,pathetic people like you have been shitting on me my whole life,again,it's your pathetic craving for attention speaking!If you have something to say,stick to the subject,a talented young man is in big trouble and needs help!Does your need for superiority take precedent over the subject at hand?Not in my book!

  187. Laurie Ann Murphy

    well said Mr. Dispain. Some people are just not well educated, or maybe they are self haters and can only feel good about themselves by criticizing the choices other people make. substance abuse is a devastating disease. And it
    won t just "go away".

  188. Laurie Ann Murphy

    Reva Cordray Braman very well said Ms. Braman. You are obviously educated about the disease of substance abuse. I for one thank you for caring about this issue.

  189. Laurie Ann Murphy

    Mary Ann Hood maybe you should consider seeing a psychiatrist. You sound absolutely insane. I don t see a lot of people calling names accept you. Are you also hearing voices?

  190. Laurie Ann Murphy

    get off this site Mary. Check how many times you called someone a nasty name. My God, your are cruel and yes you are a stupid person.

  191. Laurie Ann Murphy

    Ms Aversa it is assumed by most people with even a moderate degree of intelligence that you re is also the same as you're. I have no interest in how you feel about me. Obviously you have not read all of marys' posts (and yes it is spelled marys') otherwise you would see how evil and unforgivable she is. I am a very nice person. I save lives for a living and I m proud to do it. So get off my case lady.

  192. Laurie Ann Murphy

    Linda Catherine Aversa And BTW, mary was implying that I spelled judgemental wrong, which I did not. Do you both attend elementary school together? if you want to attack me bring it on. I will respond accordingly.

  193. Bill Johnson

    I like how I post a pic of ol' Mac Culkin on MY page along with one of the best lines of one of his movies (you know, the one he said after he splashed aftershave on his face…) I was HOPING to get an
    "lol" from a few friends of mine…but instead I get this bullshit above from people I don't even know???!!! Don't you folks have your OWN fucking page to vent your psycho babble bullshit??!!!

  194. Laurie Ann Murphy

    Mary Ann Hood As I ve already told you I am a licensed substance abuse professional with a Masters degree. My IQ is 160. you have already called me a potential addict, inferred that mental illness runs in my family, claimed i was pathetic and helpless. you have posted these accusations on a web that can be accessed by anyone with a brain. Do you really want to talk slander, defamation of character and libel? Intelligence certainly alludes you. Do not write to me again. Get yourself some help. Seriously.

  195. Laurie Ann Murphy

    Linda Catherine Aversa um….no all of my comments were not hateful. i just don t like mary and she doesn t like me. so stay out of it. go find something to do.

  196. Bill Johnson

    Hey folks, did you see what I wrote on your home pages???

  197. Laurie Ann Murphy

    Relatives can not have him "committed". If he commits a felony he can be incarcerated. If he ends up in the hospital because of a drug overdose the only way he can be committed to a psyche unit or behavioral program is by having two doctors not in practice together deem him incompetent to make his own decisions, or deem him a danger to himself or others. And there is a specific time frame he can be held….24 to 72 hours. It doesn t really help him because he cannot be detoxed in that amount of time and will be back out doing whatever he does. Unless he is 100 percent committed to becoming sober no program will work for him. And sadly, a good detox and rehab can take up to a year. And it is very painful and most statistics I ve read reveal only 25 % of people who have completed rehab are still sober after one year. yes, i do get frustrated because I see too many people fail when trying to get clean.

  198. Mary Ann Hood

    Laurie Ann, if you had a brain you would be dangerous – BTW, tht is a silly photo you are using as your Avatar – is that some homeless guy you picked up because you can't find anyone else – still a virgin, eh? That's what hapens when no one will even 'touch' you! Who do you think you are, the champion of the mental retard – you are just a frustrated ole biddy that has wasted her time taking care of misfits! Get a life! Besides, its a publc forum, jerkwater, so if anyone gets off – it will be you – you don't like what I say? Then, twit, don't read it! Duh!!!

  199. Mary Ann Hood

    Linda Catherine Aversa Thanks for the support, but trying to converse with Laurie Ann Murphy is a waste of time – she is too busy seeing herself as some hero to be worshipped at some pedestal or other of her own making because shes a nurse in some rehab center or other. Must be in PoDUNK town!!! "She is too busy saving lives"…is she kidding? She also thinks she walks on water – NOT! I wouldn't let that egotistical nut case near me if I was in hospital even for a minor injury. She is a walking lawsuit looking for a place to happen. Anyone that disagree's with her is considered evil and hateful. Actually, she is the one that is selfish, spiteful and filled with venon. If she doen't like a comment made by another person she attacks – just like a snake! Pathetic, isn't it? Guess we are going to have to refer to her as Florence Nightinggale reincarnated and here on this wewbsite! Ridiculous! Wonder what she thinks she sees when she looks in the mirror – I see an insipid, ignorant and pathetic individual and an attention junkie! And, you are right, this article IS about Caulkin – Another thing that is comiical is that she actually thinks I don't liike her – to like or dislike a person you have to care something about them – this Laurie Ann MUrphy is a 'nothing', a 'zero' to me so I could care less about her – she means nothing to any of us that I can tell! She is her own fan club!!! Is she one of those don't ask, don't tell" people? Ha!

  200. Mary Ann Hood

    Who said anything about a psyche ward? There you go, trying to read minds again -and you know you flunked your class in mind-reading!!! Give it up, oh wondrous one, you are really pathetic and too late to iimpress anyone – get a life outside of y ourself.

  201. Mary Ann Hood

    Nope, he isn't alone – there are tons of other addicts out there! They should create a club, right? To be a member you must be a heroin addict!

  202. Linda Catherine Aversa

    Well I havn't seen/read anything that Laurie Ann said that was nasty but I sure see A LOT of your hatefulness spewing out. If you don't care about her why did you write such a long list of comments about her? If I don't like someone I just don't bother with them at all. Which is what I intend to do with you !!!!

  203. Linda Catherine Aversa

    & the name calling is not necessary. This is what us girls did in grade school because we didn't have enough brains to carry on a decent conversation so we name called. I really don't believe you are a nice person at all, you'd have to convince me of that because your (& it is your not you're) posts don't show it. I wonder what you do to save lives, yell at them until they come to again.(& it's to, not two or too) I sure hope I never have to rely on youto save MY life!!

  204. Mary Ann Hood

    Ahhhh, what a cute little picture – I love being criticized by one that is one step above the village idiot – ha!

  205. Mary Ann Hood

    And you chastise another for 'name calling' when YOU use the term 'scum magazine" – tsk, tsk, tsk! Me thinks you speak out of both sides of your mouth! You and Laurie Ann Murphy should get along WELL!

  206. Linda Catherine Aversa

    you are ignorant & rude. I'm so done with you name caller, child. I have nothing more to say, you win!!! So I guess that means I lose but that's ok I'll be the bigger person & bow out. BYE!!!

  207. Linda Catherine Aversa

    you aren't even woman enough to post ur pix btw.

  208. Mary Ann Hood

    THEN you can come charging in on your white steed and save them all! Hooray for LAM – does that stand for "limited ability mentally"?

  209. Laurie Ann Murphy

    Agree, except- Compassion =caring, listening, not giving advice, suggesting options, helping if you can without enabling. Don t give addicts money, a place to live, your trust. Addicts are the best liars and the sneakiest people who can convince you the sky is green. They will do whatever they have to do to get their drug of choice, even if it means possible arrest and prison or sadly, death. you are so right, no one can fix an addict. Only the addict can fix the addict.

  210. Laurie Ann Murphy

    Yeah, your picture is soooo much better. You have just insulted my husband who happens to be employed by the United States government security otherwise known as HOMELAND SECURITY, working hard every day to keep your stupid ass safe. Your remark 'mental retard' is disgusting and you are a filthy, disgusting, jealous, bipolar bitch. BTW he also has complete security clearance which means he has access to the Pentagon, NSA, FBI……I think you get my point. For some reason your remarks stirred his interest……hmmmmm…..

  211. Laurie Ann Murphy

    DOES ANYONE ELSE THINK THAT MARY ANN HOOD HAS SOME SERIOUS ISSUES AND IS RUDE TO ANYONE WHO DOESN T AGREE WITH HER? OMG, SHE STRIKES BACK LIKE A VIPER. WELL, I LL PRAY FOR HER. HOPE SHE GETS HELP TO HANDLE HER ANGER ISSUES.

  212. Mary Ann Hood

    Are you threateinng me? Yep, you ARE threatening me! FYI I"ve printed every comment YOU have made and if hubby is up on his legal then telkl him to explain slander, defamation of character and libel to you- if you want my address just let me kmow. I knew you were a loose cannon the first time I read your comments – now, thanks to your limited vocabulary you have satisfied all of the violations that accompany the legal charges I can now claim – And you gave it to me in writing with even your picture – how easy is that! btw, guess who I work for?

  213. Mary Ann Hood

    BTW, go take another look at the dictionary you'll find you DO and DID misspell JUDGMENTAL! Do you realize you are the only combative person on here? What does that say about you – I pity your poor patients IF you are indeed a nurse – I note you did NOT RN – tell my, what is your mortality rate?

  214. Mary Ann Hood

    You have to answer your own question andyou have to vote 'like' all by yourself – I'm just playing your game and you can't handle it but you started it, kiddo. Typical behavior of a loser so you really do need to find something to do – maybe your homeland security guy can let you follow him around and you can be his gofer! You know, gofer this, and gofer that – that's pne way to get you away from him…You really should stop bleaching your hair – it has seeped into your brain! I know where there's some bed pans you can empty – you should be really good at that!

  215. Craig Pulkownik

    …and thats our cheerful thought for today boys and girls….. I dont think i can understand this train of thought, AND MAYBE thats a GOOD THING…..

  216. Laurie Ann Murphy

    Mary Ann Hood you sound like a drug addict to me. Say whatever you will, it slides off my back. But don t insult my husband, as I ve already pointed out he works hard to protect your sorry ass. And he s not a 'homeland security guy'. He has a title that you wouldn t understand, and besides it s not your business! Top security clearance and all, he s a careful man. BTW… kiddo and twit the only two words you know? Actually, I can handle any little juvenile thing you try to throw at me. Because I m a responsible, educated adult. You, on the other hand are immature, rude, misinformed, cruel and I can imagine you have temper tantrums. Empty bedpans?….you know where there are some? must be the ones you haul around the alleys when you get sick or need to 'go right now'. Now, when you say I should stop bleaching my hair, which by the way shows you re having some diffulty with your own image….that indicates to me that you are angry, depressed and projecting those feelings onto me. Try to get your life in order….you could be happy if you tried. This whole bashing session has actually been a lot of fun. I don t often get to have conversations with lowlives. I spend my days consulting with experts in my field to try and improve the lives of people who are ill.

  217. Laurie Ann Murphy

    hahahahahaha……my God you are desperate. There is absolutely nothing you can do to me. You on the other hand have called just about everyone here something nasty, claimed you 'drown your deformed at birth', insulted my husband and generally made a fool of yourself. Print away Mary. I ve saved all mine to my files. Not because I intend to use them against you which I will if you push me……but because they are SO FUNNY AND RIDICULOUS! and I couldn t care less what you do. Just by reading your horrible grammar and spelling its obviously not education or anything that requires a colledge eucation. BTW, loved the way you wrote "Guess who I work for?" the childishness of that statement is almost endearing if it weren t for your ignorance.

  218. Laurie Ann Murphy

    hahahahahaha……my God you are desperate. There is absolutely nothing you can do to me. You on the other hand have called just about everyone here something nasty, claimed you 'drown your deformed at birth', insulted my husband and generally made a fool of yourself. Print away Mary. I ve saved all mine to my files. Not because I intend to use them against you which I will if you push me……but because they are SO FUNNY AND RIDICULOUS! and I couldn t care less what you do. Just by reading your horrible grammar and spelling its obviously not education or anything that requires a colledge eucation. BTW, loved the way you wrote "Guess who I work for?" the childishness of that statement is almost endearing if it weren t for your ignorance.

    Mary Ann Hood THREATENING YOU??? Get over yourself Mary Ann Hood. I wouldn t waste my time. LOL. Also, not so healthy to be fixated on the words slander, defamation of character and libel. What cha hiding Mary Ann Hood?

  221. Mary Ann Hood

    There is nothing like a fool and lady, YOU are a foiol. It's a 'no brainer ' to contact the HMS, and I know exactly where to go! You threaten a citizen of the USA with your husgbands job, (assuming he does work for HMS) and that is very easy to determine. Then, I wonder, does he know you use him to threaten others? Does HMS know you use one of theire employees positions to threaten others? Every time you answer a comment you show your ignorance and what a pathetic soul you really are – such low self esteem – is that your momma's fault or your daddys'? You want to analize another person then you better hone up on your information – you couldn't be farther away from the truth. BTW, the terminology is NOT 'lowlives', but 'lowlife's" and you say YOU are 'educated' ? In what, insecurity? You are childish, foolish, and really ridiculous. I've priinted out the entire conversation. Oh, you spend your days 'consulting with experts in your field to try and improve the lives of people who are ill? " I thougfht you worked as a nurse – did you suddenly give yourself a promotion? I cannot imagine anyone asking you for an idea – you can't even come up with anything original on here! Talking to you is an effort in futility! Talk about a loser!

  222. Laurie Ann Murphy

    Lowlife's means low life is. bad, bad garammer. wouldn t make sense in the sentence I wrote. I can talk to anyone I want about what my husband does. He can t talk to me about what he does because of his CLEARANCE dumb ass. I never threatened you. I simply said he found your comments rather interesting. He has read them all. I work as a masters prepared nurse, that means i meet with experts and do research when I m not working with patients. Get yourself an attorney and do whatever you think you need to do. Meanwhile, I have a very happy, interesting and busy life. We have nothing more to say to each other. Or rather you have nothing interesting to say. Oh, and make sure to contact homeland security. Our conversation is done. Although I will miss the laughs, I just can t stomach you anymore. Bye bye lady!

  223. Mary Ann Hood

    I looked at your facebook – who's the bald headed female you are embracing – I almost barfed! I don't need to contact an attorney – now, go figure that one out! There's no foll l ike an old fool, fool!

  224. Tom 'Tomethy' Hope

    the above photograph was taken months ago though, pictures of him looking far healthier have been seen since then.

  225. Sharon Van Tine

    Everyone deserves a chance to stop, I am just so sad that another Person has chosen this road t hide behind pain. I just hope and pray he chooses to get the help he needs for the easier softer way. My son was 14 and on drugs it's a little different with the age, he had no choice if he wanted a roof over his head or Juvie. I love that my son choose life. Hopefully something will maybe give him the jolt he needs to want to take a look, he doesn't have to be a victim to this, he can turn around and be the surivivor. This is no joke, it's a horrible disease ….I just wish him a better mind so he can see it for himself, I have lost many over this, Gosh. Big hugs McCauley caulkin, I still love u and believe u can get past this. Oxoxoxoxox

    Well folks, the reason you DIDN'T see what I posted on your home pages, is because I DIDN'T POST anything on your pages, so if you want to say dumb shit to each other, please feel free to post it on your OWN pages & leave mine the hell out of it!!!!

  227. Mary Ann Hood

    Let's see, you are posting on here and you sent me an email – guess who is harassing whom? Thanks, every time you post something I've p rinted it for your Hospital Administrator – it will be a good read for them!!! Agreed? Tell Michael, your husband, he needs to rethink his life because he made a mistaske in 2010 in getting married! But then, he'll find that out soon enough!

  228. Mary Ann Hood

    There are about 9 hospitals in or around Baltimore, i.e., Glen Burnie, Hanover, Catonsville, not to mention the animal hospital.

  229. Laurie Ann Murphy

    Mary Ann Hood Because you refuse to stop harrassing me, my husband would like you to know he is ready to report you to the FCC. Since he already works for the U.S. government in cyber security you can believe he will keep his word. If you contact me one more time be sure the federal government will be knocking on your door. This is not a threat, this is a request for you to stop harrassing me. Delete whatever you feel you need to. The government will confiscate your computer and you could possibly face charges. Yhe FCC takes this very seriously.
    Stop harrassing me. 5 August, 2012, 1050 hours.

    I didn t send you an email, I dont have your email address and I don t want it. I posted a message on your website. Big difference. Try John Hopkins' Hospital.

    I feel sorry for im, he started acting to young and with the pressure of being a star has overpowered him.why can't his parents do soomething, they can have him committed to a drug rehab.

  233. Tacho Man

    Everyone dies sooner or later, why speed things up? Living calling death every day and it not showing up at the door gives some a sense power over it, But when it does pop up, it won't ask you for permission just "Lets go and no carry ons" WAKE UP MAN!

    LOSERS NEVER WIN, AT LEAST NOT THAT I HAVE EVER SEEN, CIAO

    LOSERS NEVER WIN AND HE IS A LOSER. CUTE LITTLE KID AS YOU WANT TO REMEMBER HIMAS, HE AIN'T CIAO

  235. Terri Kaye

    Well I just think that getting so much wealth, and recantation as such an early age, then when he was in that in between stage he just got off track, who will ever know what he would have become if his parents had been better, and he had not legally parted ways with them. River Phoenix was becoming a great actor, but he lost his. That is why making such over young kids when they are in a movie and do well is wrong, there is that little girl, I don't know her name, but she has blonde hair, and was so good younger, but is turning out to be grown up to fast, as Miley is. We make them idols, and we should not do that to anyone, because they aren't. People live their lives through stars, ball players, and should be working on there own lives to make themselves happy.

  236. Laurie Ann Murphy

    God bless you and your family. you are right, it is very difficultl on the user and the family. all the best to all you. it is definitely worth the fight for your life.

  237. Mary Ann Hood

    Unfortunately, he will be just another story of 'Macauley Culkins was found dead in his home this morning", just like so many others in the entertainment business. This isn't like pancreatic cancer where a person doesn't have a choice in the matter, this is a case of self destruction KNOWING what they were doing when they took the first hit! I believe its like an alcoholic – they do it to cover some other problem they haven't been capable of handling – it takes them away from that problem for a short period of time but when they crash they still have the original problem plus now they feel like the devil and can't wait for the next 'fix' – a never ending story of an addicts life, apparently. At $6000 per month, that is a monumental problem – it will take more than getting himself to a hospital or professional assistance – just stay out of Maryland!

  238. Sharon Van Tine

    I am also sober five years plus now. Best decision I ever made! Or shall I say. Back now for five years. Ox

  239. Patti Bartosch

    Am there and would gladly go to a rehab…but no ins. It easier for people who are famous or have money or ins….. but the average citizen can't get the help they want or need. Until then I am stuck in an endless nightmare,

  240. John Murray

    Who cares this problem is everywhere and no one does a thing let the little shit die i dont know him. Cry and help a complete stranger not famous then i will care.

  241. Mary Ann Hood

    There is no doubt you are certifiably insane and a danger to everyone. You are obviouisly obsessed with 'getting even' with anyone on here that disputes your inane remarks. Nurse? You are an insult to that profession. Pathetic and a disgrace!

  242. Mary Ann Hood

    His name is spelled "CULKIN", not "CAULKIN" and it's MACAULEY, not McCAULEY (that's someone last name usually, stupid! Stupid is as stupid does!! Duh! God forbid you keep hospital patient records this carelessly!

  243. Mary Ann Hood

    Are you kidding when you are the most spiteful, hateful and dispicable person on here? You have a erve chastising Mr. Polk. Take a hike,loser! Everyone – just ignore this idiot!

  244. Mary Ann Hood

    Patti, there are wellness centers that might be able to assist you – try contacting one, or contact your police department, sometimes they can tell you where you can go. Most hospitals are state subsidized and must provide free medical care to someone or lose their state subsidy. Go to the emergency room and maybe they can guide you. I'm searching for places and I just don't know where in your area to suggest. Are you in N. Y.? There must be help for you, please keep looking! Try whatever you need to in order to help yourself but mainly, stay away from those that have only one desire, and that is to take your money and harm you – they don't care about you, just what you can do for them. Please keep trying!

  245. Joshua Dispain

  246. Leilani Clark

    Oh fuck this shit has been going on for years. Rather give a shit for all addicts or don't care for any of them. Why should he get the sympathy vote because he was famous. There are more pressing matters in the world.

  247. Paul S Clear Jr

    This is what happens when you leave your kids home alone !!!!! Yes I went there…. if he was someone from the streets there wouldn't be a word said , or a tear shed… I am with Leilani on this , why should he be treated different that every other addict out there because he was a child star…. maybe this is a result of hanging with Michael Jackson as a child ?????

  248. Tracy McQuinn

    The media reports celebrity anything because people read/watch anything celebrity. "We" should know better than most what it's like to be touched by celebrity. While I agree with the everyone should be created equal statements given here, I am saddened by the hardness of judgement simply because he's a once celebrity. Drugs are a choice in the beginning, but sometimes it becomes an overpowering disease that taints the mind so much that intervention IS the only hope. I can speak from personal experience as most know that my dad is a real live crack head and I've been watching him die my whole life. Unfortunately, intervention attempts have not helped him and I assure you he no longer is capable of making clear choices and you can not force someone in to medical rehab in hopes of trying to clear their head enough to be able to make choices again.

  249. Lisa Bowlin

    I dont understand why people(famous or not) would ever take the chance of becoming addicted by trying this crap in the first place!!! I know its a choice in the beginning but then it becomes a habit,then a sickness that you have to want to let go of in order to be helped!! He needs to sit down and read The Heroin Diaries by Nikki Sixx and maybe it would make him want the help he needs,and this goes for all addicts!!! I know I have read lots of ppl's feedback after reading this and saying it really inspired them to quit!! I read it myself(only because I'm a huge fan of Nikki's) It's a sad world full of addiction….. Have a great day Big J.!!!

  256. Jamie R Yott

    Mary Ann Hood – You said you have no sympathy for an addict? I don't know if I have sympathy but I know I have empathy for them – maybe a little of both. Maybe you don't know what it is like or understand it…I've been around it all my life…I've heard people that have the same take on it as you and they really do not understand. You make it sound like you and your family are 'above all that' like it could never happen to you. Do you know that you could go into the hospital and have a surgery – let's say a hysterectomy…well, after surgery, they put you on pain killers – most likely opiates – which include, Vicodin, Percocet, Oxycontin's etc. SOME ppl, (and it doesn't mean they're weak) end up getting addicted to them. I can't really explain the feeling, but it's hard when it comes to being taken off of them..especially if you're still in pain. Some do not become addicted. Do you know that some ppl that have been in car accidents and end up with pain everyday bc of it and their dr's put them on pain killers and they end up getting addicted to it. So you see, it's not that they 'go out looking for it' or CHOOSE to be addicted…Sometimes it just happens and they don't even know it's happening while they are taking the medications. I worked in a Dr.'s office and I'm also a Pharmacy Technician…I've seen it a lot in that aspect as well as friends and family that are close to me. It is true that once you do realize that you are addicted, you have to make the choice to stop – it is VERY hard to do. You have to want to and it requires a lot of help, support and a little love from friends and family wouldn't hurt either. Try not to be so harsh and judge ppl that you don't even know or have never even come close to walking in their shoes.

    The parasites who are sucking his fluids must be explained to the majority of the morons who have read these words to suit their opinions. tha above mentioned parasites who were mentioned , are the ones who live off of the earnings and investments that they are involved with for him, Hell I even got a tear stained mail from a high school kid from chicago named zurek when after reading my words must of had a trauma in his pajamas, as did the unmentioned others who's e idol adulation was crushed.

  258. Laurie Ann Murphy

    My husband and I figured out what your problem is…..your mother married her brother, hatched you and brithed a son, you grew up and married each so that makes you an inbred. It describes so much. these are the kinds of disgusting, insulting, childish rants you are posting on my page. feels good, doesn t it? Maybe you could take some time out before you send a nasty message. Saw some on you page…..you just don t like anyone do you, least of all yourself. why no pic on your profile? Too damn ugly?

  259. Laurie Ann Murphy

    And BTW Ms.Hood, you displayed a disgusting, uncaring amount of disrespect, ignorance, cruelty and just plain bitchiness when you referred to my very ill daughters "bald head" as you so rudely called it, my daughter was close to death. Our lives were profoundly affect by her illness. I wouldn t wish that on anyone, not even a piece of shit like you. So take your comments and filth disgusting statements and spar with Satan. He ll teach you some new tricks.

  260. Laurie Ann Murphy

    Ms. Lott, so true. But don t waste your time with Ms. Hood. She doesn t get it, then she ll call you names, then start stalking you. She doesn t know the meaning of compassion.

    I don't strife to be perfect. Haha. Not aft 8pm. Glad u had fun with it. But doesn't mean someone's stupid. Just careless. U have yourself a wonderful nite……I see nothing matters of what people try to encourage. People still have to pinpoint the control of now strangers, to not see any good in people. It's all good.

  263. Laurie Ann Murphy

    you also displayed a great deal of disrespect and cruelty when you called my daughters picture "the bald woman, I almost barfed". My daughter was battling a serious illness at that time and quite frankly I wouldn t wish that kind of experience on anyone, not even you, ignorant bitch. Run along now and play with satan so he can teach you some new games.

  264. Terri Freeman-Smith

    if his family and friends are worried about him and care about him then they can take him to go to intervention to get help maybe that also may help him and them to over come to the problem that he's having I hope that he wakes up and smell the coffee and buckle up and be a man and live longer life.. may god bless him and Keep him alive & smack him in the head and change his addiction god bless Mc Culkin.

I won t be sucked into the insanity of the mary ann hood dimension where the evil play. You are a thoughtless, verbally abusive, ignorant wretch of a bitch. You wanna play? Bring it…..and by the way show me what I ve sent to anyone but you that could be considered 'spiteful, hateful, and despicable." Mr Polk was out of line, talk about hateful…..but then we know you have your difficulties when trying to make sense of things, what with your inbreeding and all.

  267. Laurie Ann Murphy

    You are an insult to humanity. You don t know what certifiably insane means. You re the only one I really converse wth because you are so misinformed and your stupidity is astounding. I am an excellent nurse, very proud of what I do and try as you might you ll never take that from me. Thought you were working on something to send to my administrator? I ve showed him the entire print out (Loved it by the way)…..please send it, he can t wait to report you to the FCC. Hmmmm…..my administrator and my husband, both reporting you to the FCC. not a threat , a promise dear. It s great to have so many friends and family and coorkers who care about me and support me. Guess you wouldn t know about that……

  270. Yolanda Rodriguez

    Laurie Ann Murphy What is sooo hard to understand what Mary Ann is saying or what I am saying. It is not about compassion, empathy, feeling sorry, or whatever terms you want to use. What we are saying is that drug addiction is a well known FACT. So it would be SMART not to USE or TRY or EXPERIMENT in the 1st place BECAUSE we ALL KNOW where that LEADS. That's all we are saying. We are not attacking anyone. I just can't figure out why anyone would try the crap in the 1st place. People on here say we don't get it or understand what people go through. We have all gone through something – what we are saying is that there is nothing so bad in life that I would ever go through that would make me turn to drugs. Now as far as people saying that there are folks that get into car accidents or have a surgery and get addicted to pain killers – that is a tiny bit tricky, but having said that – prescription drug addiction is not new either. We must ask if we don't know what the effect is before we put it in our mouths and then to monitor ourselves. Now if the result of an accident is going to result in a person being on that pain medication for the rest of their life…that is a topic for another day. But this is really about people that get on drugs just to be trying them – they have not had any major surgery or been in an accident. This is about those trying street drugs knowing full well what the results in most cases will be.

  271. Yolanda Rodriguez

    Laurie Ann Murphy There is no reason to try street drugs Period. And the people that try street drugs – I'm not saying they are bad just that drugs is an extremely bad choice. There are many people that I know of and knew a few personally that were very good people – but got stuck on stupid when it came to that decision. I don't care what happens in life – there is always a better choice than drugs. Now before you say something like – I don't understand or have not been thru anything. Just think before you rant and rave – no person is better than anyone else and tragedy has touched everyone including me and I found no single thing that I've been thru that would warrant me trying street drugs.

  272. Debbie Ann Rodgers

    I will pray for you that god gives you the strength to get help before it's to late.don't throw your life away on drugs it's not worth it you have sooo much in life to live for.what your doing to your self by doing all these drugs your not just hurting your self what all the people in your life that care and love you and will be there to support you.i pray that you open your eyes and heart before it's too late.

    Joshua Dispain

    Hey Joshy… why don't you take your moronic opinion and shove it up YOUR ass? People with some semblance of intelligence care about spelling. I mean, why spell like a 5th grader if you're an adult?

    This isn't a drug support forum jackass… so if you're looking for hand holding and **** sucking I suggest you head over to the Betty Ford clinic website champ.

  278. Joshua Dispain

    joshy? you flirting with me now? its not a drug support forum..but it is in fact a forum about somebody addiction to drugs. and if all you're going to do is point out grammatical error go somewhere else…its rude and pointless as far as what everyone else is talking about. so if all this is from you being bored go look at streaming porn fuck boy!

    Wow… so spelling doesn't matter… but calling someone out on the title of a movie is?

    Hypocrite much?

  281. Trevor Gowe

    No dumbass. It's a comment section on an article pulled from THE NATIONAL ENQUIRER. You know… the same fucking paper that said President Clinton was meeting with aliens. It is, in fact, not a forum… jackass.

    If you don't like me correcting grammar, that's too bad. This isn't your own little fantasy world where you call the shots. Pull your head out of your ass and take your sob story elsewhere sport.

    P.s. Streaming porn? Is that what you do now to replace your heroin addiction? And fuck boy? Really? No one's interested in the kind of porn you look at tiger, keep it to yourself.

  282. Laurie Ann Murphy

    Sounds like you need to use the link Trevy! Joshua had great insight when discussing the effects of drug addiction, especially when he said most addicts are scared to death at the the very idea of living without their drug. These people are discussing the agony of detox and rehab and you want to focus on their spelling? obsessive/compulsive much?

  283. Trevor Gowe

    Hey Laurie, thing is, this ISN'T a drug support forum. So if you don't like that I'm talking about other things, piss off.

  284. Trevor Gowe

    Laurie Ann Murphy

    Sorry you're a drug addict… maybe YOU should use the link?

    I'm not going to buy into your bullshit drama sister. So take your "agony" and shove it.

    Also… poking fun at REAL mental illnesses like obsessive/compulsive disorder is probably not going to garner you much sympathy.

  285. Laurie Ann Murphy

    *don t, You are free to talk about whatever you like. there is an ammendment to protect that right. How about you talk about whatever you want and you allow the same for us! That was easy, wasnt it?

  286. Trevor Gowe

    Are you really that stupid? The National Enquirer is the same rag that claimed President Clinton met with aliens. It's not a news source. ****.

    Ah… I see being a drug addict also makes you a violent idiot. I could very easily "make you"… but I'm not that kind of person. Unlike your drug addled fantasies Laurie… it's not want you 'want it to be'. It is what it is.

    And if you still had the power to use your brain… you might know that YOU'RE the one raising issue with me making comments NOT about drug addiction.

    I will repeat. If YOU don't like that… go find a drug addiction forum… or play in traffic.

  288. Laurie Ann Murphy

    First off, I ve never done drugs in my life. I am drug addiction counselor with a masters degree. Where do you get violent idiot from? and you really gave me a good laugh when you said you could 'easily' make me. Your arrogance is astounding to me. Now pay attention Trev, I said we will talk about what we want to talk about and you will talk about what you want to talk about. You tried to offend Matt, then Joshua, now me. Sounds like you have a bad case of little man syndrome. So take your bad attitude and shove it as Josh previously said "up your ass".

  289. Laurie Ann Murphy

    picking on Greg now too? You have anger issues. Don t like yourself much do you trev? it s hard to hear that from someone but you have real problems with your self esteem.

  290. Trevor Gowe

    Laurie Ann Murphy

    Really? Because you come across like a very immature person. The violent idiot bit comes from ' would love to see you try to make me boy'… which any sane person would take as an invitation to violence. Pretty stupid thing for you to say.

    Honestly… I think you're full of ****.

    Now pay attention little Laurie, if you can; I said this wasn't a drug addiction forum, and that I'd talk about other things if I wished. I corrected Matt's spelling… Josh made a big deal out of it and tried to act like a hard***… and now you little Laurie are doing the same thing.

    If you're truly the middle aged drug addiction counselor you claim to be… it appears you have a bad case of mid-life crisis. Your attitude and manner of communication would indicate you are someone much younger and ignorant than who you claim to be.

    Little man syndrome refers to someone who is short in stature Laurie. Pretty stupid insult to use over the internet… where you have no idea how tall I may or may not be.

    You're a crude little bitch Laurie. I'd tell you to shove something up your ass… but I imagine you've already got something up there.

    You asked you stupid bitch.

    I don't need to read it… it's at every grocery check out stand. I'd have to be blind not to see the front page.

    It's amazing how dumb you are.

  293. Laurie Ann Murphy

    Dumb, no. Very intelligent, yes. You re getting yourself all worked up over nothing. you started by arguing with Greg, then Matt, then Joshua, now me. And you don t see a pattern here? Just because you have an opinion doesn t make you a genious sport.

  294. Laurie Ann Murphy

    Dumb, no. Very intelligent, yes. You re getting yourself all worked up over nothing. you started by arguing with Greg, then Matt, then Joshua, now me. And you don t see a pattern here? Just because you have an opinion doesn t make you a genious sport.

  295. Trevor Gowe

    Declaring yourself "very intelligent" definitely doesn't make it so. My only judgement of your intelligence must come from your posts here, as that's all I really know about you, and they are not "very intelligent". On the contrary… they're very unintelligent.

    I am not worked up at all Laurie. I guarantee I'm simply sitting here sipping my coffee, doing what I need to do, and replying to you.

    I didn't argue with Greg (who wasn't first)… I just told him what I thought of him (I imagine you agree with that sentiment). I corrected Matt. Then Josh and I had a little argument about what I said to Matt. That ended… and now here you are. So yes, I do see a pattern. I correct one guy on his spelling… and the drug addicts come out of the works to argue with me, because they feel their plight is so hard… and no one understands… and how dare I correct his spelling! He's a heroin addict!

    So yes Laurie, I see the pattern. I also see your pattern on this very post. You like to jump down the throat of anyone who is talking about drug addiction… and then throw base insults at them that I personally haven't heard since elementary school. That's your pattern tiger.

    I'm not sure what a "genious" is champ… but I can assure you I am a genius.

  296. Laurie Ann Murphy

    I couldn t care less what you think of me. 'Gonna make me piss off' Trev . Would be nice to also have that threat in writing. My age and stage in life is not relevant, nor is it any of your business. I think you re a bully and little man syndrome has nothing to do with your height.
    I can be a hard ass b/c dealing with addicts every day puts a whole new perspective on everything in your own life. Calling me crude when you ve stated I ve aready got 'something shoved up my ass'? You are disgusting and despicable and I d love you to tell me all of your filthy trash talk to my face. you are a coward. Cowards like to bully. makes then feel better. now go find something fun too do in the sandbox.

  297. Laurie Ann Murphy

    And you also replied you 'could very easily make me', which is a threat. Also correction:find something fun TO do in the sandbox. i know how you are about proper spelling.

  298. Trevor Gowe

    You must care quite a bit. Or wouldn't keep running back here to defend yourself. You said and I quote "would love to see you try to make me boy"… I simply said I could easily "make you"… but I'm not that kind of person. That's not a threat Laurie, simply an assertion of my ability. You may want to buy a dictionary.

    Your age and stage in life is just as relevant as your claim to be an addiction therapist with a masters degree. You made it relevant… and you made it my business.

    You have no idea what a bully is if you think I'm one. You came at me with a chip on your shoulder… and I responded to you in kind. And look up "Little man syndrome"… it has everything to do with height.

    I called you crude… and then deflected your insult by stating that it seems you already have something up your ass. That is correct Laurie.

    So wow… I'm disgusting and despicable for tossing your own insult back in your face? You must be a very miserable person Laurie. My guess is your children are drug addicts… and you feel responsible… so you come into online forums like this and act tough to make yourself feel better. Pretty sad.

    When exactly did I post any filthy trash talk Laurie? Is this a personal fantasy of yours? I'd be more than willing to tell you anything I've said previously to your face.

    What I think you need to look at here Laurie… is that you're the coward. Unable to face your responsibilities and guilt for choices in your own life, you come online and try to find someone to pounce on. If anyone's attempting to bully here, it's you.

    Have a great weekend Laurie. I don't have a sandbox… but I will find something fun TO do, thanks.

  299. Laurie Ann Murphy

    oops, my bad. Heres the thing Trevor…I ve worked very hard to get where am in life. Substance abuse is a serious disease, but most people want to claim it is not a disease. No one wants to be a drug addict. An addict is the most manipulative person you will ever meet. they lie, steal, commit crimes…I m sure you know where i m going. It s a difficult job in many ways, and can also be rewarding. We don t 'hold their hands'. They are responsible for their own sobriety. Detox and rehab are brutal for most people. I ve been there, I ve seen it and i ve watched them live through it and recover and I ve watced them die. Get off my case Trevor. Maybe you re a genius, maybe not. Not my business. A little compassion for others less fortunate goes a long way. You re right, I do get testy when I feel like I m under attack. But I m also not a push over. I can hold my own.

  300. Laurie Ann Murphy

    Trevor Gowe one more thing. My child is not a drug addict. For you to imply that is in fact mean and spiteful. Leave the children out of this. Didn t expect to make an enemy out of this whole thing, but we both have opinions and we ve both expressed them. Enough said. Good life to you and your family!

  301. Un Believable

    @ Mary Ann Hood…was that really necessary? Ur a b*tch. Did I spell that correct? Also, do u understand this…FU?

    He also recently lost his sister, who was killed hit by a vehicle. God only knows what else happened to him as a child star. There are predators all around them their parents trust because all they see is a money maker not a innocent chil who they should never trust anyone with. The two Corey's were victims of sexual abuse & they both had problems with drugs & alcohol just as I did. I have been asking eeryone I know or meet with addiction problems what happened to them. All but one admitted sexual abuse. I heard tht one lied. I said no she is just not ready to talk about it. It's very sad. My dau's father has been a heroin addict since he was 15. He is now 58 & still an addict. My dau never had her father b/c of heroin. I know he loves her, but heroin is so powerful no other love will win until the person wants & gets help. I worry about my child. She keeps saying she is messed up b/c she didn't have her father in her life. I told her she is looking at it all wrong. She would be messed up if I allowed him in her life. Meth is big around here. I know all her friends are on it, so I am sure she is also espec since she is always worried about her wiehgt. She is not fat at all. I think she is the most beautiful daughter ever, but she won't listen to me. May God bless and watch over everyone defeating the devil.

  303. Un Believable

    Sometimes it's not that easy. I pray that it would be. Did u ever watch the show on A&E, Intervention? The addiction is just too powerful and most fail.

  304. Byron-Donna Earnest

    Joshua, I have NEVER done any kind of drug in my entire life, and I'm 56, but I truly feel sorry for those who have felt so down that they chose to do a drug. It's so sad. I have no harsh words for anyone who has done that, only true pity. It must be so hard to try and find the strength within one's self to get help and to really quit. I have always liked Macauly and I hope he gets help. I would love to see his life full and rich with happiness and love. I, being a Christian, have a heart that goes out to anyone who needs help, just like Jesus feels for them. God bless you all.

    Someone should just cut in and drag him to a rehab center & far away from his current primary group as possible regardless of any objections. Do it, he's a good kid who we don't need to lose before his time.

  306. Debbie Colomy-Maguire

    David W Zurek Does it make you feel better to call me names? You do realize that stooping to that level because you disagree with me is really just making you look foolish in a public spotlight (that you happen to be shining on yourself). I would go further into detail, but I think that stating that I just lost a friend to drug addiction last month speaks volumes (not to mention my employment history in mental and behavioral health – which includes dealing with various addictions). However, this self-righteous bitch has much more important and productive things to do with my time than to try to educate someone with your level of ignorance.

  307. Edward Anthony

    I'm sure they get roped in to a degree when looking for a group to pal around with but one must use common sense & that's an example of not.. Hope he gets straightened out before we another tragedy takes place.

    "Well I just think that getting so much wealth, and recantation as such an early age, then when he was in that in between stage he just got off track, who will ever know what he would have become if his parents had been better, and he had not legally parted ways with them. River Phoenix was becoming a great actor, but he lost his. That is why making such over young kids when they are in a movie and do well is wrong, there is that little girl, I don't know her name, but she has blonde hair, and was so good younger, but is turning out to be grown up to fast, as Miley is. We make them idols, and we should not do that to anyone, because they aren't. People live their lives through stars, ball players, and should be working on their own lives to make themselves happy." I have corrected my spelling error, hope that is better. Wouldn't want yours eyes to have to keep jumping the a misspelled word. I do not think they were calling on out on a movie, just clarifying the name. But thank you for your concern and the english lesson.

  309. Terri Kaye

    William Polk It is sad that the world has just hateful people in it, I guess you have never faced addiction, he is not a looser, just a boy that never grew up, and dropped into a world and left to his own devises to figure it out, his parents merely fought over their children's money, and who should get what, and such bullshit. Put a kid to work when they are 5 or 6, does mean the money belongs to the parent, put a child to work and 5 or 6 and not directing him in a direction that is good for him, is a pity.

  310. Natasha Marchetti

    If you want to say a person is addicted to drugs, well I guess that is your right, FREEDOM OF SPEECH and all. But at least report with truth. Percocet and oxycodone are the same drug. One is a latter is a generic and the former is a Brand name. Dr Drew is still reporting that certain celebs died from drug overdoses and it is not true. And anyone that is selling a book about addiction will try to hock their book while "reporting" a death. Their are no true journalism anymore. News is a gossip show no more no less. And if he is truly a drug addict, maybe he will have someone who really cares about him. Not some hanger oner'. LIfe is sad enough for an addict. Making it front page news is not going to help them. ANd Jane Velez-MItchell, we know that he is invited to be on your show, but I don't think he will want to come.

    Mary, I find it appalling that you attacked Laurie for something as trivial as her spelling when what she was doing was expressing compassion and concern for another human. Now, not only did you quote Forrest Gump, but you then followed it up with "DUH" Your undeserved attack on Laurie only shows that you are a person of very little character, and probably too obtuse to even realize what you did was uncalled for. I commend Laurie for being such a good person that she took a moment of her time to express her concern and offer a prayer, and I pity you for being so shallow and petty that after reading this tragic story you saw Lauries comment, all felt it was more important to attack her spelling. Sad really.

  325. Bradley Falls

    Mary let me say this in a nuetral way, Actor, you hit the nail right on the head. Actors are news worthy. If I told you I was addicted to anything, would you care? Would you even know who I was. Answer, no. Celebs get mentioned because of what they do and the way the're seen. Acting is just like any other job, but the public see's the actor and want's to know. I'm in the music industry and I tell you what, even though you want people to know who you are and like you for your abilities, they have lives too but can't be left alone. He's hooked on drugs, so what, leave him alone. Look at Charlie Sheen. See what I mean? Would you want everyone sniffing up your ass any time you did something wrong? That's all I have to say.

    I love all the news from The National Inquirer. The only way an addict is going to stop is if he/she WANTS TO STOP. You cannot make them. You cannot force them. If it doesn't come from within that person, to stop, it's not going to happen.Once your blood, internal organs and brain are saturated with opiates, it will take the body at least 3 years to begin to function on its' own. One won't know what's up or down because the chemicals and hormones in the brain have to start fuctioning correctly. Until that time, chemical and hormones will be spit out, intermittantly and randomly so you have no natural coherence. Which means you will laugh and cry and yell and scream because your body and brain cannot function, YET. The point is, an addict will stop only when something within makes him/her WANT TO STOP.

  337. Reva Cordray Braman

    Mary Ann Hood is a very evil, mean woman. She obviously knows nothing about addiction in a medical, psychological or empirical way. It is very true that an addict can't get help until they comes to terms with their condition. No addict sets out to become one. Who would choose such a horrible life? No one. He was probably introduced to getting a high from alcohol, like most addicts. No one knows when they take that first drink or first hit, that they are prone to addiction. It is like someone who is genetically predisposed to Type II diabetes. They don't think having a piece of pie or a bottle of soda is going to start a process that will destroy every organ in their body. Most don't quit eating poorly even when diagnosed. How about the heart patients who still stress or smoke? Obsessive and compulsive behavior is an illness people. Why don't you read some real data from medical sources. Watch Dr. Drew sometime. I have one daughter dead and another who has been to prison for drug related issues. I don't drink or do drugs, but my father and uncles were alcoholics. Their father was an alcoholic. When I was young, I also thought drunks were just weak, or immoral. Most, if not all, addicts, suffer from an underlying mental illness. I have spent 30 years learning about addiction. Family can't help their loved one without some education. You can't punish it out of them. You can't help them with enabling their behavior like giving them shelter and money. You help them by being consistent with the insistence that they seek help on their own. Sometimes you have to walk away and let them fall. It hurts. It hurts to tell your child or mate or parent that they can't be a part of your life, but sometimes that is what it takes. You do it with love, not recriminations and hate.

    I hope his friends and family get quoted for what they actually did or tried to do to help him. I never hear about their attempts to physically help.
    :/ Drugs are crazy but I wish people would be more compassionate about this. Some entertainers do drugs for the heck of it. To me though, I think Culkin did them to feel something. Whatever happened during his childhood must have been scarring. Plenty of young actors die from depression or drugs because they couldn't land roles or they see their career unfolding. A lot of them have baggage from their family. Whatever the case, I just hope he gets better. I don't want to see another celeb death. There's been plenty lately. Let's hear about a recovery.

    Addiction is very much a disease and this fact is backed by scientific proof. There is NO cure for addiction! It can happen to anyone. There is treatment and then there is recovery.

    I have never heard of anyone addicted to opiates ever recovering. I have family members in jail over pain medication – started by a chronic disease causing severe pain. Doctors give them strong pain medication and they get hooked. Then the doctors won't help them get off of them. I have known many many people that have died over opiates, crack or powder cocaine, etc. They either get physically or mentally addicted and usually do not want to recover. You can go down the list of Hollywood people that have died of overdose. Elvis, Michael Jackson, Jimmy Hendrix, Janis Joplin, etc – whether it is prescribed by the doctors or the get it on the street, it is the same results – dead.
