You are correct in what you are saying Pyramid, brutally honest and factual is the simple truth that Amy could have and should have stopped taking the hard drugs and also stopped the drinking too, however as you say, she also had the choice to not only try or not to try them or dabble in them but not to come to in any way depend on them.

She did, I think she also surrounded herself with like minded people and as I said earlier, I was not in the least surprised to learn she had died, its the road she flung herself on, ignoring her Father and others,preferring to continue a lifestyle dependent on drugs and drink and the result is, as she has been warned on many occasions, that it would lead to tragedy.

A bit sooner than likely expected but she pressed the self destruct button and didn't want to listen to anyone advising her of the need to stop and sort herself out.

The other simple truth is, a few cigarettes and a few drinks often rather than what she chose to do and take and she'd still be here now.
