Celebs with Drug & Alcohol Addiction

8. Pink

Pink has had an impressive career in music, winning multiple awards and releasing several global hits. However, she has a dark past. Following an excessive use of crystal meth, ecstasy, and special K, Pink suffered from an overdose in 1995.

Although she got back on a track after a successful drug rehab program, Pink still has terrible memories from drug abuse. Her best friend succumbed to a drug overdose in 2010.

9. Brad Pitt

Brad disclosed his addiction to marijuana after featuring on the cover page of the May 2017 issue of the GQ Style magazine. He said that he hadn’t gone a day without smoking weed since he left college. 

Besides weed, Brad also admitted to having an alcohol addiction. At his peak, he could drink down a Russian, who are known for their high alcohol tolerance.

10. Lamar Odom

The case of Lamar Odom is perhaps the most publicly documented celebrity drug overdose in recent time. The former LA Lakers superstars have had problems with cocaine addiction. After his separation from Khloe Kardashian and retiring from the NBA, Odom experienced massive depression, which intensified his substance abuse.

In 2015, Odom overdosed and became unconscious in a Nevada brothel. He suffered multiple strokes and kidney failure and had to live on life support for a few days before regaining consciousness. 

Conclusion

As seen above, addiction cuts across all sectors in society. The world has lost many icons for drug abuse. The best way of avoiding such cases is abstaining from drugs altogether or seeking help from drug and alcohol rehab centers.
