Was it a physical predisposition to everything out there? Around 98, Mark Lanegan was living with Layne. Lanegan was struggling to quit heroin and I would swear to this day that hes here because of Layne. She was a very interesting character and Im sad that she went down the dark path she did.

Hope to read some more posts soon. And, as I mentioned, there are a lot of true facts in the story but I dont know what to make out of it as a whole. I also do NOT recommend enabling or helping addicts stay in their addiction by loaning them money or letting them stay with you.. especially if their addiction is messing up your own daily lifebut I also dont recommend calling them names or hating on them either they do that enough to themselves already. I have fell of the wagon a couple of times because I will wait for an excuse to do it. Personally, I have no idea exactly what happened, but I got a lot of stories. Jerry loved the rock star lifestyle and didnt want to give it up and he was pissed at Layne. Seems like it takes much courage and heart to do so.

You are a survivor and your story is so important, especially to those that struggle xx, Hi Barbara, just wanted to share this video with you, just in case this photo in it is Demri http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AlGZfqQzpvU. I know many Alice In Chains fans dislike her because she got Layne into heroin. They can seduce you and make you feel like nothing else can be as good to you.

I think that a lot of facts that she put on the story are true, BUT..she def. Im on suboxone tho. No problem. I am not saying Rachel is a bad person, prior to this I thought she was a hat maker genious, but it was at the very least odd because they werent friends, but Demri always the gracious host even on her deathbed. Let this be a good story to stop people from picking up for the first time. Who was more self conscience than Layne esp. It seems that Demri and Layne took pleasure in hurting one another until it got to be too much. I think what we could do for the fallen heroin addicts is change.

Barbara you are right on that they suffered from a fatal disease- and also right that drugs arent worth dabbling in. Its sad because most society cant look past ones addiction to drugs although we all have some weakness or do something that would be frowned upon & even if one was perfect its still not right. As for Mike Starr, if youre wondering, he was living in a crappy old apartment (same building that I used to live in,) with his father. -Chris, Was wondering if you ever went on any road trips with Demri to see AIC? He was like Laynes pimp, only he couldnt get Layne to work. I am so sorry for Kathleen (Ds mom) to have lost her children like this. After she died, in 96, it seemed like Layne went into a darker place. But in continuing with heroin and coke, she damaged her body more, to the point of no return.
