I was talking with her daily. Im confused. Beautiful Country, would love to visit. They didnt have it so they ordered one for me and thats what Ive been reading these last couple of weeks. This website is simply amazing, a treasure trove of information for those wanting to go under the surface. *Please watch her video called What the Cancer Industry doesnt want YOU to know and her video called Terminal Brain Cancer Cured On Raw Food. Jerry loved the rock star lifestyle and didnt want to give it up and he was pissed at Layne. Laynes music has always spoke to me and I know a lot of it has to deal with how brutally honest he always was with his struggles. However, I found that things that boost your confidence and self esteem help you stay away from it. Demri Lara Parrott Murphy (February 22nd 1969 - October 29th 1996) was an American model, artist, and muse, and an amateur actress, girlfriend and later fiancee of Alice in Chains singer Layne Staley. When he disappeared from performing, it became almost impossible to find a current photo of him. Was just curious about that. What a hard an painful situation. He started doing this whole big martyred thing in the press Im standing by Layne, even though its making me sufferrrrrrr! but in private he was slipping the knife in. Stills. They both deserved better. I realize this stuff is old news for you guys, but for people who are just coming to this subject (who have a passion to know the truth) the information via comments on this site is vital. She was made weaker by the fact that shed contracted heart problems from the use of dirty and used cotton when she used heroin. If memory serves, her mother was a counselor while Demri was alive. Doesnt mean I want them in my life. She was an addict, just like Layne. Xana here, just wanted to let you know the photo of Demri at friends was my photo and taken at my apt in Hollywood, she did not even know the people in the photo, they m,et about 5 min before I took the photo. In Demris case specific, you are doing an incredible job, because you are brave enough to tell us who was the real and captivating Demri Parrott. Media can put entertainers on the highest pedestals and even encourage the descructive behavior, but drop them like hot potatoes or make matters even worse when the downward spiral goes into overdrive. me too, i wonder what it is about her that's so magnetic! I promised both I would never read it, but the excerps I have seen are ridiculous. I also was a hard core heroin addict and my family and life suffered from it and I honestly did not have the willpower to save my self. She still looked cheerful and pretty Mind, I never knew him entirely well and I never saw him do it, but its what people were saying. She wasnt making a lot of money back then, but she did manage to get a lot of his. I hope it helps you as well. Great to see you on here. God. Do you know if you have the first version or the second? and this: watch?v=LL29f0AehNI And I have a life too. She said take her to Capital Hill to Rehab so he thought he was (per what he told me). Scared of what? I do get it a little but its silly. Layne wants to quit, Demri doesnt, she has developed a fatalistic attitude towards her life. Demri counted on Layne & others to help, & they did. They can numb you from all the pain. Best Of Luck to you Ms. Jacqueline from Scotland. I hope things are getting better for you and if not you hear me and please go get help. If something seems amist, you need to stay on top of the situation or find someone who can. Haha! Makes me wonder whether genius will always, without exceptions, come with an enormous cost.

Darin was there but I wasnt because I was in the process of having my first baby and didnt even know about it until it was too late because I was out of the social loop at the time..

It changes the chemistry in your brain and you become to where you can not experience joy or happiness with out it and it takes YEARS for your brain to recuperate and those are some pretty sad years where your brain does not function properly. Depends on the person but most would do anything to be all that their families wanted for and from them but addicts can get so far gone and lost that they cant see the light at the end of the heroin tunnel anymore and heroin has become their everything. I was devastated when I found out that I missed it. She was apparently very chatty, witty and loud. For all she claimed she wanted to be known as Demri, not Layne's girlfriend, she rode that and took whatever she could from it. Demri was bisexual, and she was a nudist. Oh man, the Koa story. Thank you so much for allowing me to be a remote part of the scene, 25 years later! I watched so many people either die or just become such a broken mess they probably wish they were dead.

That means 13 times she was clean. Demri was sweet and helpful and fun. Layne not accepting this, but hes starting to feel the pain also. Later into the night i got worse and my organs started shutting down. How did her kids get so involved with drugs and addiction? I think about 95% of it had to do with shame over what he had become. I know this because Layne called me to make sure I was checking on her so I was around a lot. But I wound up in Seattle , playing led guitar in the lare eighties and early nineties. Prayers. It was drilled into him how his life and career would be over if she OD on his watch so he was afraid to have her around if she was using.

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.

I can understand as well as empathize with Layne, Demri, and all addicts that have been seduced by a drug that seems so good at first.

I found this online, in case some of you havens seen it before. Dating seems illogical. They went down to QFC and he asked her to wait in the car while he ran into the store to buy a few things.

Addicts in your life should never be seen as selfish assholes.. most are actually just broken and sad and while they may come off as being selfish because they wont get clean for you most are just not equipped to know HOW to get clean or are too scared to try.

Laynes riff with Jerry was for telling him he needed to go to rehab and not going himself, hearing Laynes solo music and taking it to the band and borrowing his 8-track and erasing his stuff with Maynard (I dont think Jerry noticed it was on there).
