There are records showing that she prostituted in her last years, however Im not sure that her family want this discussed.

Sure, that might work for a short while but ultimately addicts need more incentives in their life then how someone else feels and those two things shame and guilt can also completly back fire on family members who always seem to try this route too and it will just cause their addict to go deeper and farther into their addiction and they may begin to isolate themselves emotionally and physically away from the people who made them feel that way because they dont wanna let them down anymore or let them see the disgusting mess they know theyve become.. so theyll just remove themselves from their lives instead.. breaking everyones hearts including their own.

Addicts are a triggers for me so 12 step meetings are not good for me but they work for a lot of people at least in the beginning stages they worked for me too. I would love to read more about this era and i know there is alot of crap out there but in your opinion which book written about that time in history on AIC and even mentioning Demri would you think is the most accurate??

History has proven that young people experiment without clearly thinking of their mortality. (Handout). The report further exposed that Parrot did not use it until the Alice in Chains singer became a part of her life.

It could be her though because she would definitely go to that show and she did have long hair like that (although her hair was more wavy I think) and there were a lot of people coming up to her and talking which would mesh with how popular she was. I dont think a lot of people understand how much damage it does. and a life without it again can seems totally unrealistic and near impossible to ALOT of addicts if not all and that may sound stupid, heartless of them but most addicts Ive known are also the most sensitive, loving, non-judgmental and wisest people Ive known.

Mark and Layne were really cool together. I stumbled across it by chance. Layne and Demri met at a party back in 1988 and it was love at first sight. Barbara you are right on that they suffered from a fatal disease- and also right that drugs arent worth dabbling in. She was perfect just the way she was, Demri could pull of any look and this picture is a great example of her versatility as a model. Dem had gifts, she was not tortured she was a very old soul. My deepest sympathy to her family and you the friends. into dope deep at that point, and one time I saw her on the bus and she pulled up her shirt and showed me her scar from when she was on the hospital table and they had to massage her heart back to life. It is so scary and so serious. Please take care if you. Its quite ridiculous. Layne is one of my favorite musicians and as soon as I saw and read about Demri, its easy to see why she was loved by so many and still is! Of course we all make mistakes for Gods sake and so what?! It needs to be a full on mission or its 100% harder. At the time, Jerry was very understanding and more than supportive to Layne. I invested a lot of money on treatments. Oct 29th is a day a lot of us who knew and loved Demri will never forget. I feel a very strange connection to him, like I can almost remember bits and pieces of his life through my own eyes. I was 15 at the time, and clearly fan-girling over her boyfriends band but she didnt give off even the slightest hint of rudeness, or jealousy, or possessiveness.

It is not worth experimenting with. The distance between how young, beautiful and full of life Demri was in this pictures, and how much pain and suffering she must have suffered later in life, based on what you have shared, is so huge. Jerry did love Layne but there are definitely 2 Jerrys. I went through and read all the Layne/Demri parts when I first got the book, too. What a wonderful site and tribute to Layne and Demri. So thats what i have been doing staying clean. Yes, families fight, a lot, but in death should not peace be made between everyone? Staley erupted, then yelled at him whenever he tried to take more pills. She loved to model and I love this picture of her, Rest in Peace Sweet Girl Demri Lara Parrott 1969-1996.
