An interview that Lindsay Lohan did with a British tabloid newspaper recently has everyone twittering. Her drug addiction confession and her comments on father’s contribution to the problem are somewhat more revealing than we have previously seen. Despite three stints in drug rehab and a brief jail stay for cocaine possession, Lohan has always blown off the public’s inquiry into her addiction. Not this time.

Lindsay Talks About Her Stay in Drug Rehab

Lohan says: “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.”

Lindsay Talks About Cocaine Abuse and Addiction

After a car accident in May 2007, Lindsay was caught with cocaine for the first time. She says: “It was in a purse and I was with friends. I wasn’t trying to lie to police.”

She goes onto say: “I was only aware of cocaine because of my dad. I was terrified of it. But I tried it because I was stubborn, stupid, and wanted to see what it was like.

“It’s not something I ever want to do again. It made me feel like s***. It became uninteresting to me. I’m hyper anyway and I have that kind of personality so I don’t need something like that.”

More Drug Addiction Confessions

According to Lohan, she was close to death due to her mixing of alcohol, cocaine and other drugs. A collapse after taking sleeping pills filled her with “terror.”

Though she blames herself in part, she puts much of the blame on her father and his indictment of her addictive behavior publicly. She says:  “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.

All Better Now?

Lohan says, that despite all her previous issues with drugs and alcohol, she can now drink in moderation and no longer struggles with addiction:

“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.”
