How is selling used drugs breaking the law? If the guy sold more than a car a month I would call him a dealer. But I'm sure that poor homeless guy never sold more than one little five pound packet of cocaine a year.

^ You mean she was buying used crack?

Snoopy, there's a HUGE difference between being a drug dealer and selling drugs. You wouldn't call someone who sold you their used car a car dealer, would you? Matukonyc, the anonymous part of AA is to protect the individual, not the organization. It's not like AA is Scientology and will do everything in its power to destroy you should you leak its secrets.

Unfortunately, Tatum's complete disrespect for the AA tradition of anonymity -- which, by the way, exists precisely to prevent celebrated people from talking publicly about AA and thereby endangering its reputation should they relapse -- does not bode well for her recovery.

As Amy Winehouse always says about rehab, "No. No. No."

No. 2: Actually, it is a pint bottle of Fiji water, which is perfect for keeping your Finlandia vodka in without anyone knowing...because we all know...vodka doesn't smell.

I think I read this exact same story yesterday. Just saying.

I don't know who this person is, nor do I care.

Is that a pint bottle of Finlandia vodka next to her? I didn't realize it came in plastic bottles.

"He's not a drug dealer. He's a panhandler who sold drugs." HUH? Maybe should go back to school and get some brains after she gets out of AA academy. Or find a good neurosurgeon and get a new brain. At least she isn't following the "No snitch" rule.
