Ashton Kutcher Remembers Ex-Girlfriend Brittany Murphy

I woke up that Sunday morning just two days into my own withdrawals and recovery from my Opiate/Norco addiction and to my husband saying "I'm following the News and you know that Brittany Murphy girl, the one you said is a friend of your cousin's?" I got this huge knot in my stomach and replied, "Uh yeah... Omigod, did she die or something?" and when he said yes... I was just in absolute and complete utter shock! Even more shocked into the reality about the effects of the abuse and lethality of opiates (Oxicontin, Vicodin, Norco, Morphine and the list goes on). That could have been me I thought and broke down... Sadly, I was diagnosed with a dehabilitating disease after nearly dying in a hospital from being septic w/infection. After many months of ER visits and unable to manage my pain/symptoms I finally received a rather devastating diagnosis but learned that it was some ways manageable. I was prescribed Norco (each one equal to two 500 mg strength vicodin) for pain. Unable to physically and mentally cope with my disease I first took the Norco for pain... than I took it to prevent the pain... and when I did not have pain I would continue to take this prescribed medication every day because of the high and the seemingly numbing feeling it would provide to me; I felt able to cope. It got to the point where I'd run out of my prescript early (unfortunately I had a doctor that would give them to me early or provide me with higher dosage whenever I asked and even deterred me from getting help when I came to her and asked her not to prescribe them to me anymore)... I'd borrow pills from friends, family and buy from other sources and when I would run out, Iâ??d even resort to the use of oxicontin (a very deadly and scary drug). It took me a year to realize what was happening to me (and many nights on very high overdose levels of prescription drugs, forcing myself to breath and honestly afraid to fall asleep or that I might not wake up) and to admit to myself that I â??am an addict and I'm abusing my prescript drugs; drugs nonetheless... less than two months to the day that I admitted to my husband that I had a severe problem (by then everyone in my immediate family had started to take notice and concern), and I asked him to take control my prescription and hand them to me like a child until I reach the courage to seek help through a place that provides help of detox and recovery. That day came sooner than I thought and Iâ??m so happy I made the choice of life and to free myself, and my family from my addiction; just two days before the death of Brittany! This isn't just some thing (disease and addiction) that happens in Hollywood. People (hundreds of thousands, maybe millions?) everywhere are either dying from or becoming addicted to drugs of all kinds everyday even when it's not at first non-intentional (I became a victim of my own genetic disease and in the process acquired an addiction)... It can happen to anyone and it hurts everyone! I wish Brittany could have saved herself! All I know is that she died at the age of 32 from â??Cardiac Arrestâ?? and that's NOT NATURAL... She obviously died of something disease related, whether it is the drug addiction disease, eating disorder disease, genetic disease; or combination of the three. So very sad, may she rest in peace and that her family finds peace! If you are a person reading this that may think that they may have any drug or disease related addiction or a eating disorder please be strong enough to seek help, and don't live another day in your battle in fear that you may not wake up to see tomorrow... YOU ARE NOT ALONE! There are so many caring and understanding people in recovery clinics or your primary healthcare that can help get you through, and help you to overcome your disease/addiction. I ask that you put your pride and any embarrassments aside and GET HELP NOW AND NOT PUT IT OFF TO LATER... Brittany ran out of time (she will be missed...), you do not have to do the same...

Gosh I really like her. I wonder where she is now? There's only 3 options I have read that make sense. 1-She went to heaven(I read you can only get there after death through Jesus Christ). 2-She went to hell(I read you choose that option by refusing Jesus). 3-She ceased to exist. How can you cease to exist when what you do on earth has an impact? Brittany accomplished a good amount here on earth, as we all do, for it not to be recognized. So; what is reality?(from what I read, the bible has the answer).

my love goes out with everbody britney know and loved.god bless!

Terrible that she died, just awful. She was a very talented performer whose work I always admired. Kutcher's tweet was insulting and tacky in its inappropriate informality, and just backs up his shallow dumbass image. What a complete choad.

RIP - Brittany I give my condolences to the family. She was amazing actress and very much loved. She will truly be missed. It's not easy to loose a wife, a daughter. I to lost a son at 19 and it hurts. But I know one day I will see him again like you will see Brittany. She was a beautiful young woman whom should of not gone so soon. My prayers are with the whole family. God bless you. Take care.

I am very sad to hear about brittany's death, She was an amazing actress, One of my favorites. I sincerly send you my sympathy for your tragic lost. God rest her soul. You would be missed by many people brittany murphy. I for one will never forget you. God bless you and your family always.

Poor girl I feel so bad for her I remember idolizing her at 12 years old.. she is my brothers age for Gods sake too young to die.She had a unique look and was gorgeous but most importantly she seemed very sweet and had a good sense of humor. They say right after you die the body weighs a few ounces less and I believe that as overwhelming as our spirit seems it doesnt have to weigh much more than that and everyone goes somewhere else in spirit when tragedies occur.

My condolences to the very talented Brittany Murphy's Family & Friends, she was such a great actress & will be so very missed, my prayers are with you!!R.I.P Brittany you will be remembored forever!!

for those who think that was okay, to give condolences thrue twitter, just think if it is someone that u really love, like ur mother, daughter,son, wife anybody that u love would it mean the same as giving u a hug, and say im sorry. please at that moment the same day she past away, i dont think her closest family who really love her like sharoon,(mom)would be online reading twitter, so who are u sending condolences to? her family or ur fan club, that is waiting for ur reaction. FOR SHAROON:THE BEST TIME IN LIVE ANYBODY COULD SPEND WITH WAS UR USE THAT AS A CONFORT PLUS THAT ONLY YOU KNOW HOW MUCH YOU MEAN FOR HER AND HOW MUCH YOU DID FOR HER WHEN SHE WAS NEXT TO YOU, GOD BLESS YOU, GOD GIVE YOU A WONDERFUL DAUGHTER, AND NOW HE BLESS YOU AGAIN WITH A BEAUTYFUL AND LOVING ANGEL NEXT TO YOU, FOR EVER.

It always amazes me how easy it is for people to judge others. Suggesting Ashton is insensitive for posting a vague Tweet? Anyone who has posted on Twitter knows you are very limited in the number of characters you can use. It's the holiday's everyone...lets remember the gift of kindness, and not kick someone when they are down. Wear their shoes. My sincere condolences to Brittany's family & friends.
