Terrible choices people make for their own reasons. Had the hose been with her, life might have been longer. A couple friends of mine won't let the hose into their lives after OA diagnosis, and they look like hell and are tired all the time, but drink weird health-vitamin drinks and have fitbits and look 10 years older than they are.

From a negative media/tabloid angle, what movie star would want to be photographed asleep on an airplane with a nasal pillow mask and a tube connected to a cpap? Wouldn't that type of photo negatively impact any of the 007 actors' movie careers and maybe grounded Hansen Solo? Maybe society isn't ready for hose head actors, but drug abuse is good somehow and far more acceptable and familiar.

Sleep Apnea sounds better than Addicted to drugs, and Mental Problems. People Like a Good Whitewash, whatever you want to believe, you have been told the facts, go ahead and ignore them, at least you will feel better.

She would still be alive if she had Sleep Apnea, but she had drugs took them, and isn't! Jim

Depression and other mental disorders often contribute to, or even CAUSE drug abuse and suicide.
As long as these problems are shamed and hidden instead of properly treated, they will continue to cause suffering.

Fame and Money can't buy Happiness, but they can buy lots of Drugs. Being Poor isn't the answer either, you just make more bad decisions to get your drugs, harming yourself and others. Puppies are the drug of choice for me. Jim
