Time Line of Trouble: Lindsay Lohan Spirals
Lindsay's problems are well documented by television and print media. Her partying has been documented by paparazzi and has not enhanced her image or helped her plight when in court. MTV provides an extensive list of her many legal troubles, following are some highlights.
-Feb,. 2005: Eddie Pamilton and Ilex Harris file a personal injury suit against Lindsay Lohan claiming the actress injured them in a traffic accident that took place the year before.
-Oct., 2005: Miss Lohan is transported to a hospital after the car she is driving crashes into another car in West Hollywood, CA.

Responsible, Rational Behavior: Personal Responsibility for Actions
We admitted we are powerless over alcohol-that our lives had become unmanageable. So reads the first step of the 12 steps of Alcoholics Anonymous , the first of many 12 step organizations created to aid people with addictions and afflictions. Lindsay Lohan has been a patient in several rehab centers and reportedly attended 12 step meetings (Reuters news agency reports since age 20)and has surely been exposed to the concept of admission of a problem and the need to accept responsibility for her actions.
Lindsay seems ignorant of the grave consequences her actions may result in. On July, 6 2010 when Miss Lohan appeared before Los Angeles Superior Court Judge Marsha Revel she did so with a middle finger nail that had a profane message (see the picture at TV Guide ). Coupled with a bracelet monitoring device alert for alcohol consumption Miss Lohan seems determined to thumb her nose at the court and continue a spiral to self destruction. Her many fans and adorers via comments in articles referenced her as well as countless others hope that Lindsay will fulfill her ambitious beginnings, pull out of this descent and once again become a promising star.
