Lindsay Lohan Opens Up On Drug & Alcohol Addiction
The world sighed at the fate of this once adorable child star who grow up to become one of the most beautiful actress in Hollywood. If not for her drug and alcohol addiction, career might have become brighter for her.
Lindsay Lohan recently did an interview with The Sun. If this wild child is indeed telling the truth, redemption has finally come for her. Who knows if she will rise up to become one of Hollywood's greatest actress in say, 10 years? After all, she's barely 23...
"When my father was going public, that's when I hit rock bottom. I abused substances too much and it wasn't the answer to my problems. People need to know that. I tried to mask my problems with alcohol, cocaine and mind-altering substances. Now I'm in a place where I don't need to use anything and I can feel emotions because I choose to. I learnt from my mistakes and I'm now healthy and happier. I never want to be close to losing everything I worked for and aspired to have my whole life. Mind-altering substances are so dangerous. If I can teach others, especially teens, by sharing my experiences, then that's what I will continue to do. I've made some dreadful mistakes but learned from them - that has probably saved my life."

"I went to rehab three times. The first time I checked myself in because I had taken Ambien. It's a sleeping aid but it makes you hallucinate. I'd run a bath and fallen asleep on the floor and the bath had overflowed. When I woke up I was so scared, I called my therapist and said, 'Can I just go somewhere for a month? I'm around bad people and I need to take care of myself'. I was terrified, so I put myself in. There was a point when I didn't know how to say 'No' and I was trying to please everyone. I was doing pop and making films. I was young and thought I could go out, have fun, then go on set and record. I ran myself down and I lost track of who I was."
Lindsay Lohan has pleaded guilty to cocaine use and driving under the influence in 2007. She has been jailed for a day and has been ordered to complete an alcohol education program.
Now, Lindsay Lohan still booze but she says it's not for masking troubles anymore but for "social obligations." She has recently hosted a Haiti fundraiser event in London.
"I'm allowed to drink now but I know my limits. There are certain situations where I have obligations. There's no reason to (drink) because I don't want to feel like s*it in the morning. The thing is, at the times I was going out a lot and being seen everywhere, I would have been in college. My brother, who is 18, and his friends go out to bars and stuff till whatever time. That's what you do in college. Mine was all in the public eye so it was magnified that much more.
"I've now learned my boundaries and I've been very good with cleaning house with people who I know didn't have my best intentions at heart. A lot of people in LA are very self destructive.
"Partying so hard simply isn't worth it. Life is worth living and there is so much to do and experience, it's wonderful."
