Will the Morgue Help Lindsay Lohan?

Going through the motions and fulfilling the requirements set by the courts concerning her DUI conviction, Lindsay Lohan will now have to spend time in a morgue. Evidently this will make Lohan come to the realization that her actions are potentially fatal. Ironically, she will spend more time in the morgue than her 84 minute stint in jail, however.

People magazine reports that she is to spend two, 4-hour days in the morgue witnessing fatalities and such, and after that, Lohan is set to spend two days working in a hospital emergency room.

I hate to be a killjoy here, but let's get one thing perfectly clear: the disease of addiction will always run its course. Lohan can look at all the dead bodies the courts want her to look at, but it will not make a difference until she is tired of using and wants a different lifestyle.

The problem is that Lohan will not believe the fatalities could be anything similar to her in any way. Even forgetting the fact that Lohan will not be socially similar to the people she sees in the morgue, possibly unable to relate to average citizens, so to speak, no one easily sees themselves dead.

Addiction tells you that you are a better mother, wife, friend, and I imagine, superstar, when you are high. You are happier, able to handle anything that comes along, when you have your fix - when you are "normal."

Addiction tells an addict that they can control themselves better the next time. They learn, as Lohan probably has and will, what not to do when high, and how to get away with being high, because as an addict, all one studies is, basically, getting high.

Being sober becomes unnatural, unwanted, unfamiliar. Even energy drinks or over - the - counter medication becomes an altering substance. Being able to take something - anything - is a necessity.

No one ever believes that death will happen to them - not this soon, anyhow. And in order to feel that favored feeling, an addict is willing to take the risks to their health anyway.

So combine the lies of addiction with the fact that Lohan also has a vast amount of differences with those bodies lying in the morgue, far more than the average person's differences, and it's simply a waste of time.

As a recovering addict myself, the only similarity I share with Lindsay Lohan, I know what I would do if I were her: make the courts happy and hide the recreational preferences better next time.
