  • Tara Reid A Party Girl Goes To Alcohol Rehab

    Tara Reid is well know as a Hollywood “party girl”. She’s been caught many times by the paparazzi slinging a drink around and acting silly. She’s been in some of the biggest films of the late 1990′s and early 2000′s. But now, it appears her reputation has gotten the better of her. However, reports say that she has been to alcohol rehab and come out sober in early 2009. Maybe Tara’s story could have a happy ending.

    A Rising Star Does Some Hard Partying

    At the height of her career, Tara Reid was in some huge box office successes. The Big Lebowski, American Pie, and National Lampoon’s Van Wilder were popular films of the last ten years. Tara Reid was widely recognized and sought after for public appearances. She had a spunky spirit and good enough acting chops to stand up next to some big stars.

    However, along with fame and youth often comes intoxication. It’s a way to let loose, have fun, and “be young.” Certainly, even her paid public appearances in bars and at parties were the perfect excuse to drink the night away. She was young, beautiful, and most likely did not buy a single drink for herself. It may have appeared to everyone that she had the world on a string.

    Alcohol Addiction Turns Into Denial of Any Problem

    In the early 2000′s, Tara’s star began to fade a bit. She was in a few box office bombs in between some hits. She had also established a solid reputation as a drinker and party girl. Gossip magazines had a picture of her drunk on a regular basis. Unfortunately, this reputation was apparently becoming stronger than her presence as a bankable actress.

    In the mid 2000′s, she was getting fewer and fewer good movie roles. She appeared on the hit TV show Scrubs for several episodes, but her character was eventually written out. Some speculate that her partying lifestyle was the reason she was getting shut off from roles on TV and in movies. In 2008, Tara went public to deny that she was a “party girl” or had a problem with alcohol. Taken with the rest of her history, this seems odd. Perhaps an attempt to distance herself from the problems in her past? Maybe some denial of the depth of her need for alcohol treatment?

    Tara Volunatarily Enters An Alcohol Rehab Facility

    In December of 2008, Tara voluntarily entered a rehab facility for alcohol treatment. She described some of her alcohol addiction experience for In Touch Weekly magazine. Tara stated that she was in denial of her alcohol problems, and that going to alcohol rehab was definitely worth it. Instead of dreading the next day, she was looking forward to the future because she was sober.

    It’s even possible she is ready to revive her movie career after her newly found sobriety. That would certainly be great news for her. Tara’s career has been dwindling to an afterthought for such a long time. She is young and talented, and one would hope she could use her journey to flesh out some challenging acting roles. Tara has traveled a long of addiction to get to alcohol treatment. Time will tell if her sober reputation can overcome her partying days.

    Best wishes to you for your continued sobriety, Tara. Your time in alcohol rehab will be worth it for years to come.
