Rehab Is for Quitters

Last week, British soul singer Amy Winehouse was rushed to a London hospital after she had collapsed from a probable drug overdose which, in turn, was downplayed by her label as just a nasty case of 'exhaustion'. Although there were several confirmed reports in the media that had Amy on a three-day binge of drugs and alcohol prior to her short visit to the hospital (where she was given an adrenaline shot and had her stomach pumped), her representatives still held strong to their side of the story, in what was nothing but a desperate attempt at keeping Amy's loyal fanbase.

Now, only days after her collapse, Amy speaks but it's very unlikely that her friends and fans will be that pleased with what she has to say: the singer openly admits that she is addicted to all kinds of drugs and alcohol, but she will not go to rehab, no, no, no. Because she's just fine as she is, she says during her sit-down with 'News of the World'.

Unlike other British singers who can only dream of achieving fame in the US, Amy proved that talent knows no physical boundaries. Famous all over the world for her controversial hits 'Rehab' and 'You Know I'm No Good' (both of which are inspired from her personal experiences), this beehived skinny songstress is on the verge of an abyss. And she's not planning to seek any kind of help to overcome this moment of crisis.

Says Amy: 'It was just crazy - one of the most terrifying moments of my life. I don't know how to explain what happened. I don't really know myself. I can't remember what I looked like. I couldn't recognize myself. It was terrifying - I was terrified. I was so out of control. It just happened. It shocked me. I'm sorry - I just don't know what got into me. I've scared myself this time. I was all over the place. I know things have got to change. I have to sort myself out'.

Unfortunately, this whole 'sorting out' does not include a stay in a rehabilitation facility, because all that Amy need to get through this is her dad. 'He sorts me out. When I get self-destructive I just need to spend time with my Dad. Rehab is a cop-out.', the frail singer explains, right after admitting that the three-day binge that put her in a comatose state consisted of 'smoking heroin, snorting cocaine, downing Ecstasy pills and Ketamine pills and washing it all down with Vodka and Whiskey'. Looks like she didn't write 'They tried to make me go to rehab/ But I said no, no, no' for nothing, did she?
