		<description>I wish I knew who "Goes By another Name is".

Don't you use an alias anyways? I doubt your family would read this comment thread and/or know it was you. Anyway, that's just me being nosy and I appreciate that you shared your story. You never know how many people are in the same boat that you could be helping.</description>

		<description>Clearly, Denise Richards still holds a torch for Sambora otherwise she wouldn't be taking time out from her busy work schedule screwing up her kids' lives and thinking of ways to get back at Charlie Sheen to post long diatribes on Sambora's innocence in the marriage.</description>

		<description>Bull SHIT MSat.  Sorry but there is no where on that BTM that Jon mentions that because that clearly wasnt the case.  David was the one who was warned he might be kcked out because he was showing very little regard for the hard work the band were putting in and he kep leaving early from rehearsals.  Richie did NOT have those kind of problems prior.  he dealt with them himself.

As for SNL, no WAY was Richie anythign but nervous.  It is ridiculous that people would accuse him of that when the poor guy did so well at rehearsal only a few minutes beforehand and EVERYONE in the studio made it clear that Richie had been out on the stage prior to going live, talking to the crew, and was PERFECTLY SOBER and nervous.  So clearly your view of Richie is more than skewed, and on top of that you have not watched the same BTM as the rest of the universe.  Delusional would be a good phrase.</description>

		<description>The entire band of BJ drank to excess back then.  I've even seen Jon toasted and Richie having to hold him up.  Tico was a mean boozer.  But I'm not going to get all involved in your absurd post, because you can read the intellect behind it.  LMAO.

Teresa, so right on Locklear's publicist.  I was waiting for the LIES to come - always lies from Locklear and her publicist.  Now they're scrambling to figure out how to clean all this up so that the public is duped into thinking she was never suicidal, etc., etc.  When really, she should be getting treatment for her pills &#038; boozing.  Some work on her self-absorption would also be a benefit.</description>

		<description>Teresa, I'm not sure where you get your info from, but in the VH1 "Behind the Music" special on the band, Richie admits that he spent most of the "7800 Fahrenheit" tour drunk. It wasn't until Jon gave him the ultimatum of clean up or get out that he cleaned up his act. The band did a lot of charity work for alchohol abuse awareness after that.

More recently, Richie was clearly drunk or at least buzzed when the band hosted and was the musical guest on SNL last year.</description>

		<description>Richie has said no such thing in interviews.  He did say that he was drinking too much at the end of the 80s but he dealt with that by himself and it was fine.  What happened last year is that he ended up being confronted by all his worst fears in one big hit so he turned to booze to help him, which it didn't.  he needed to learn new ways of coping with grief, stress and depression.

With Heather, things are very different.  She isn't mourning anything, she isn't dealing with a sick parent, she's no thousands of miles away from her child.  she's at home in her mansion and I'm sorry but i do feel that it's a cop out.

She may have problems but they are problems Richie desperately tried to get her to deal with years ago.  He was a big part in keeping them under control for her.  He's o longer there and now someone else is dealing with her tantrums and tiaras THANK HEAVENS for Richie.

This is what Heather is like, the public are starting to see the build up that has been there for years and years.  Richie covered it up for her and their daughter.  

Her ''career'' is over.  She isn't content to be at home, she has nothing to do there and she sure as hell isn't interested in being a mother

I'm just more surprised that people are surprised by this. I'm also shocked they are tryign to find other reasons for it, or blaming the Doctor.  he was only doing his JOB.

best of luck to Richie and to Ava.  They are going to need it but at least the public might ding out what caused the breakdown of that marriage FOR REAL and not the lies that Heather's publicist puts out there to protect Heather.  By the way, I am LOVING that  her publicist got caught out in those lies...yeah right no psychiatrist called the police, WE HAVE THE TAPE NOW AND HAVE HEARD THE EVIDENCE.</description>

		<description>I do know one other Sambora fan and she'd probably say something very similar to Teresa ;-)

I've decided to change my name for this reply, not that i'm ashamed of it, but I do have a family to consider. 

I grew up the child of an alcoholic. Ive never any doubt that he didn't love his family, but the fact remains that he, and any other alcoholics I know, are colossally selfish people.  Not through malice, but that's the way addiction seems to work to an out sider.  It's taken me years to see that.  

It's not that alcoholics don't care about their families, but the need for drink is stronger - although ironically many are ashamed about what they're doing and the effect on their families.   Even at a subconscious level.  As alcohol is a depressant, they're often left with depression and a nagging sense of failure.  And the advice is to  "think of your children and snap out of it"?  Christ.  Without ranting, you're honest to God, plain old fashioned wrong Rosie.  And I hope to God you'll never have to find out what it's like to deal with an addict of any kind.  

many can stay from drink for years - but once they're back on it *poof*.  And to have TWO addicts in one relationship... YIKES!!!  maybe the fling with Denise Richards was a good thing?  Ok much worse in the short term for Heather, but as  MSat says, it could actually be they were enabling each other for years.</description>
