Lindsay Lohan goes to AA
Dec 1, 2006, 8:00 GMT
Lindsay Lohan has gone to Alcoholics Anonymous to seek help for her heavy drinking.
The actress, famed for her love of partying, was apparently spotted going into an AA meeting in Los Angeles at 7.30am on Wednesday (29.11.06).
A friend of Lindsay's claims she has been going to meetings in secret for a short while and is hoping the sessions will help her curb her wild behaviour.
The pal told the New York Post newspaper: "She has attended several meetings and has hopefully decided to turn her life around - this time for good. She is out of control."
Lindsay, 20, has been out partying almost continuously since last week - she was pictured with on/off rival Paris Hilton and the heiress' new best friend Britney Spears on Monday (27.11.06).
Her concerned mother Dina has now flown to Los Angeles to help her daughter cut down on her nights out.
Lindsay is currently shooting new movie 'The Best Time of Our Lives' with British actress Keira Knightley.
Filming is expected to last for around five weeks and those close to the 'Bobby' star hope she will "get serious" about her heavy drinking after completing her scenes.

With respect to AA, 'anonymous' is supposed to mean something. To quote AA tradition eleven 'Our public relations policy is based on attraction rather than promotion; we need always maintain personal anonymity at the level of press, radio and films.' Granted Ms. Lohan is not publicizing herself, I'm disappointed you published this story.
It would be a shame, for example, if even one other person decided that AA 'didn't work' because Ms. Lohan visibly had a rough time with her sobriety after attending some number of meetings. Many other objections to associating her name with the organization should be apparent upon considered thought.
I suggest that AA remains the single most effective treatment for alcoholism, and that respect for its traditions serves the public health.
