"Once you are an addict you will never not be an addict. You'll be an addict until the day you die. I think about it every single day. People who say they don't think about drugs any more are dirty liars who are probably still using."

    1. 1

      SO TRUE! should be quote of the month perez :D



    2. 2

      Kelly fucking Osbourne is awesome. It is nice to know that a mom can raise her daughter to be bright and have an opinion and be unapologetic about it.



    3. 3

      So true. Add food and cigarettes and I guess alcohol to the list too. No matter how much discipline you have this stays in your head forever and yells at you to feed it. If you know you're any kind of addict knowing that makes it easier, but it never goes away.



    4. 4

      Very true… know from experience sadly. Remember crack is wack!



    5. 5

      Very true. Learned that during my experience with addicts.

      I admire Kelly. She's really turned her life around since she got clean.



    10. 10

      WAY TO GO KELLY! I used to hate this bitch, but now I love what a bitch she is!

      ARRRGH!

      *

      This chick's in the same league looks and nrain wise as Rumor Willis.

      *

      Really get tired of these star's children who think because their mommy or daddy is famous and talented they are as well. Yeah, once in a while it's true. But 98% of the time it's not.

      *

      And in Rumor and Kelly's cases, it fails big time.

    13. SeeMe says – reply to this


      13

      No, that is crap. You don't think about it everyday (if you are sober, not dry).



    14. 14

      There are some people who can do drugs and easy get over it, some neve rget over it, depends on your sensitivity.



    15. 15

      Absolute bullshit. I have been sober for many years and I almost never think about drugs or alcohol. There is a vast difference between not using and being sober.



    16. 16

      Re: anumiloo – please jump off the nearest bridge!



    17. 17

      LADY GAGA SHOULD THINK ABOUT THIS QUOTE THE NEXT TIME SHE DECIDES TO SNORT COCAINE UP HER NOSE BEFORE SHE GOS ONSTAGE AND BLAME IT ON EXHAUSTION.



    18. 18

      I think this is very true. Drugs for addicts will always be a temptation. They cannot be around it without going bonkers and that's why when they get out of Rehab they should avoid being around people who use. Addiction is a life long disease. And addict would always find a reason or an excuse to use and when they go through rehab and its post-addiction those reasons still come up. Like - my boyfriend just broke up with me I think I need to sniff some coke to ease the pain- or my mum is being super hard on me right now, drinking usually takes the stress away. But post-addiction you have to constantly say no to yourself all the time and it every stressful or tempting moment. Every single addict had bad days and she's right. If they're saying that they don't and they -never- think about drugs then they are lying and covering up that they're using again or plans on using again.



    19. 19

      true true!



    20. 20

      Re: SeeMe – If you know from personal experience then I stand corrected but I know I think about it at least twice a day - it's not a big deal anymore but it is there…



    21. 21

      So Fucking True!



    22. 22

      I think she speaks for those who cant kick it. I thank god I never had that vice. Been around drugs here and there,…people who do take get bothered when you say "no". They dont understand. Now offer me some pizza, he he, i might just say "yes",… or
      "no". When I go to a bar or pick up take out, if I am in the mood, I may order a drink while waitng for my food to be ready. What I love is the looks on those faces there at the bar (that most likely drink hard core everyday), when I they see me leaving half my drink behind!!!! LOLs



    23. 23

      wow… well said, kelly!!



    24. 24

      How profound! Next she'll tell us, once an alcoholic, always an alcoholic.

      This pig faced twit needs to go away and she can take her vulgar euro-trash mother with her.



    25. 25

      She is so drugged out in that picture.That's why she's saying that.Well let her party another month and off to rehab!



    26. 26

      Not true. Being DRY is not the same as being SOBER. Once you are sober, you think about it so much less, if at all. When I think about "alcohol," I certainly don't think about it in a way which makes me tempted. It brings back bad memories! I'm glad I'm past that.



    27. 27

      unless that's an old picture I praise her.But WHAT'S WRONG WITH U PEOPLE
      SHE'S FU@KED OUT OF HER MIND!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!



    28. 28

      I don't think she can speak for others she is a celebrity and she can constantly get presurred. I am sure that she gets tempted left and right which makes it easier to get back on drugs. So of course she will think about it constantly.
      I think that if you get sobered up but continue to surround yourself with people who use them or go clubbing/partying where you can get easy access to drugs and get tempted than of course you will constantly think about it and most likely go back on drugs.
      Or a sober person can stay away from those drug scenes, clubs, drug users and surround themselves with positive people than they don't think about it. But I dunno thats just my opinion.



    29. 29

      I utterly disagree with Rosie O'Donnell Junior, here. I've heavily abused drugs in the past, and there weeks, even months, when I don't give it a thought. Would I ever use again? Under the right circumstances and in recreational moderation, yes. But I also just quit smoking (two weeks ago today) and there have only been about 5 instances where I've missed it. It's all in your head. If you're that big an addict, I guess, yeah, that shit will haunt you daily. Guess I'm not!



    30. 30

      So true. It's a sad truth that I battle everyday



    31. 31

      Has anyone notice, that anytime Kelly has an interview, she is always talking about drugs, constantly going on about drugs. I bet if you click on her, every feature is a quote from an interview she has done is about drugs- it just shows her relevance, she is not revelant, she has no talent- and matter of fact neither do her parents. She needs the money from these interviews- because where else would she get it from, a failed music career and being photographed at fashion shows will not look good on résume. And seeing as she has no talent all she can talk about is drugs. I can't decide if she is exploiting herself or drugs. I love this quote, even though I hate drugs—–' I say no drugs, but they just won't listen.'



    32. 32

      She looks actually rather pretty these days. Shame for those tacky tats.



    33. 33

      Re: Andy27 – You are stupid!



    34. 34

      WHY DO HER LEGS LOOK LIKE SHE WAS IN AN ACCIDENT AND HER WRISTS WHAT IS THAT???????



    35. 35

      Nope Kelly, not true. Addiction is very unique to each person and also very complex. Lots of people get permanently sober on their own. Some need help. Lots of people make complete recoveries and seldom think about using again. Many think about it all the time. Some people, for whatever reason, find comfort in believing they are forever afflicted. Many people will not accept this fate. Why do some people like blue and others hate red. Why do some love horror movies and others hate action flicks. No one can answer these questions. I was a hardcore alcoholic for over 20 years and completely recovered totally on my own. And I'm seldom tempted to drink. The medical associations and 12 steps programs have very, very successfully brainwashed addicts into believing they diseased and powerless. You most certainly are not.



    36. 36

      ANDY27 is talking about harm reduction. Look it up. I think he rocks. We've been fed so much crap about interventions, and the value of sobriety that often people use it to avoid their deep emotional pain. I think people have good or bad relationships with: drugs, alcohol, sex, food, credit cards. If a person works thru their pain… like PTSD from being in the Iraq war, maybe they can go back to having a healthy relationship with credit cards, food, sex, alcohol, drugs or what ever they escaped into to avoid the pain. Keep it up ANDY27. Harm reduction is the wave of the future.



    37. 37

      As a recovering addict, I do not think thisw is neccessarily true for everyone. Yes, once in a while, I may think about it, but mostly I wake up and thank God I am no longer using and grateful for the life I now have. When I do think about it, I also remember to think of what my pitiful life was like and NEVER want to go back to. I guess it depends what type of sobriety program you are working. I am also not into the party scene anymore, so maybe it is easier for me.



    38. 38

      Every one of you JEALOUS DOUCHEBAGS who have something negative to say about Kelly…Why don't you go fuck yourselves!



    39. 39

      I was on heavy drugs for 6 years and one of the many reasons I was afraid to quit was because people like her make it sound like you'll be in craving hell every day for the rest of your life. Wow, that sounds fun, how encouraging. I am clean 2 years and I can definitely say I'm not in craving hell every day of my life. In fact it's quite minimal. And it's usually a passing thought, that's it. God I hate all that NA bullshit people spew. It causes more damage than good. And I think people like Kelly spew this shit because it makes them look like some kind of tough warrior in the war against drugs. Ohhh gee she has to STRUGGLE every day, she's SOO brave.



    40. 40

      I can partially agree with this, but I don't believe (from experience) that everyone who has used thinks about it on a daily basis. I rarely think about drugs, and it's been about 9 years since I last used. I also quit smoking cigarettes 9 years ago and have no urge to start back up. It actually makes me sick to smell it. Some people can get over and on with drugs a lot easier than others, I just happened to be one of them.



    41. 41

      I believe her point is that the threat of relapse, however 'minor', is still always very real to the addict. It's difficult to remain vigilant, and I'm glad she's bringing awareness to it, because you CAN'T just forget it ever happened after you detox. Whether it's on your mind everyday or not, remaining vigilant MUST be! I'm glad Kelly's opening discussion for it. Bet it saves at least one life.



    42. 42

      I just friggin love Kelly Osborne. She is one smart cookie.



    43. 43

      Aparently the reason some people DO think about it every day even after they have stopped is b/c their brain chemistry has been permanently altered. They no longer produce the correct levels of serotonin or whatever on their own and they need drugs to supplement. A lot of people who have depression are in the same boat. In fact, that's why some people with depression self-medicate on illegal drugs.
      *
      Basically it all depends on how much you have damaged your brain chemistry. Someone like Kelly Osbourne whose dad is a HUGE ADDICT is at a much higher risk to be a drug addict and relapse. B/c she has not been gifted with good genes. It's a known fact that children of addicts have a much higher risk of becoming addicts themselves b/c of genetics. That's why they should never start. Unfortunately, this dim bitch did.
      *
      Not everyone who stops using drugs has had their brain chemistry permanently altered to the same degree. All have had their brain chemistry altered, but some have done more damage than others. That's where all the different "personal experiences" are coming from.



    44. 44

      agreed



    45. 45

      Re: roseivyroll – It's probably because she is asked questions about her drug addiction. She doesn't bring it up to answer every question…



    46. 46

      So sad, so true. I was in a bad car accident & had to have surgery. When I came out of it, they had put me on (hold on to your britches if you're not familiar with drugs)100mcg Fentanyl patch, 50 mg of Dilaudid, 2 mg Valium three times a day, soma 3 times a day and oxycodone. That's more than whet killed Heath Ledger. I should not be here today. The sad thing about "hospital drugs," is that you trust them. I came out of that surgery singing my doctors praises because the pain was GONE. Finally, my mother made a recording of she and I haveing a conversation. Turns out I was NOT in less pain; I was doped to the gills. It took me a year to ween off all that crap and now am only on a non-opiate pain reliever (and I use the term "reliever" as somewhat as a joke, but at least it doesn't f*ck with my head), 2 mg valium a day, and a mild muscles relaxer. That may sound like a lot, but it really isn't. But not one day goes by that I don't think of the months that I was completely pain-free. It takes willpower; I made it through by my own decision and I hope to stay that way. Having the need for drugs SUCK. But then again, so does death.



    47. 47

      Re: RutRoe – That is actually true. AA support group for spouses and children. My dad fights everyday - and wins. He always says, "Once a Marine, always a Marine." And, "Once an alcoholic, always an alcoholic." You don't have to be actually drinking to be one.



    48. 48

      she's right



    49. 49

      SO true! She is dead on, I luv her!



    50. 50

      Re: QUEEN FOR A KNIGHT –

      This is an old picture. She's much slimmer now.



    51. 51

      Re: FaeRae –

      I know its true. It's been one of AA's most famous sayings. She just used that line and replaced alcohol with drugs. She is not original. She is not educated. She is not pretty. Like the Shitons, Kartrashians, BloHans, etc. She servers no purpose in life.



    52. 52

      Not "so true". You CAN move on and get to the point in your life that you don't think about it everyday. For years I never thought I'd get there, but I did.



    53. 53

      Kelly is absolutely right. I know a few people who have addictions and it is a life long struggle.



    54. 54

      She's an idiot. This thought process keeps people in their own personal prison and keeps them chained to their past problems. I use to drink ALOT! One day, when I say it was destroying my life and marriage I stopped. Made a promise to never to it again. And survey says……have and will never do it again. So based on this why would I wake up everyday and say, I am an alcoholic and today I will beat this disease. Talk about reinforcing a false condition upon ones self. I can't stand it when people say, after stopping drinking, I am an alcoholic. Ummm, no you're not. Maybe you were but if you don't drink you're not an alcoholic or a recovering alcoholic. You're a person who does not drink. Who says, I am smoker or a recovering smoker when they no longer smoke. Same goes for caffeine, bad eating habits and so on. People need to wake up and realize that they don't have to be enslaved to their past. If you freed yourself than enjoy the freedom you have earned.



    55. 55

      I like her, but does she EVER fucking shut the fuck up about her fucking drug addiction? She is ALWAYS talking about, get over it bitch, we get it. You're just annoying now.



    56. 56

      stupid girl.u are an egoist.ur father is crazy.u shud pray to God.I was a sexual addict before.now I stop.it is sinful.
      i know lilo did drugs because she cant handle parents breakup.u?
      u have nothing to be sd about.duhhh.man
      teach ur father



    57. 57

      BULL SHIT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! BRAINWASHED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! NONSENSE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!



    58. 58

      love her. shes always honest, and such a strong wonderful lady for what she's managed to do with her life. kudos to her



    59. 59

      Good point about sober vs. dry. I think the other important distinction is between binge users (who are out of control when they use) and physically addicted users. I would imagine those who had been physically addicted would be more likely to think about it daily. In the case of AA meetings - they don't make this distinction - you are just an alcoholic. The one thing that IS likely the same for both types is that if they pick up again it is a matter of time before things get bad.



    60. 60

      Love Kel, and agree with most of her statement. Maybe SHE thinks about it every single day, but how narrow minded to think that those who don't are liars. I just celebrated my 23rd yr of being clean and sober. I think about it often, but not every day. Keep coming back, Kelly. It does get better!



    61. 61

      brydabudium
      Go fuck yourself!



    62. 62

      She is speaking for herself and many others. BUT many heavy drug users DO stop and never look back at it - I know many people who have totally stopped all drugs and moved on.
      She is young and means well, but her comment reminds me of the AA mantra - "I am a recovering alcoholic". BULLSHIT! One should say "I am FREE of alcohol / drugs" as their mantra.



    63. 63

      U should have posted a better pic of her!!! she looks nothing like that now!!



    64. 64

      She needs to find something to fill up her time, other than thinking about using drugs. Once you have a life you no longer need drugs and alcohol to fill out your loneliness or boredom that led you to use in the first place. I agree with the other posters she is probably dry not sober.



    65. 65

      She is dead on! I have 5 years sober but I still have dreams about cocaine and sometimes I swear I smell it . . . .



    66. 66

      Hmm, not sure if I agree… but to each their own.

      I used to drink heavily and I slowly weened myself to maybe a few beers a month. I was definitely addicted to alcohol at some point in my life but I now have it under control without really thinking about it.



    67. 67

      Re: RutRoe – And that would be an accurate statement…yes "Once an alcoholic, always an alcoholic." And the person who once was one but hasn't had a drink in 20 years would be a "recovered alcoholic", but they will always be an alcoholic. Recognizing this part of the disease and being healthy enough to live the rest of your life empowered with the knowledge that you will always be an "alcoholic or addict" is necessary for most people to have full recovery.



    68. 68

      What a fucking stuck up pig. So its that way for her, and therefore it must be that way for everybody else??? I think she's milked her 'addiction' for enough media attention by now - lets face it, its only her Dad and her addiction she's famous for.



    69. 69

      Lol go Kelly! I love how she changed since DWTS and for the better. Anyways I think she might be more correct then I wanted to hear, but I think it's not just drugs, it can be gambling or w/e, I've tried to put off many bad habits but sometimes the temptations get to me … I've managed to knock off a few but some I am an addict for life :(



    70. 70

      Re: Genghis Khan – I think you said it perfectly. I am a former meth addict, was for over three years. I hit rock bottom, and managed to quit by myself, and recover. It took a lot of life changes to ensure that my recovery lasted, but it has been over 7 years now and I am clean, and don't for one moment doubt that I will remain that way. I don't think about the drugs at all - because I know that I would be dead had I continued on the path I was on, and that is not a temptation to me anymore.



    71. 71

      Glad she has her head on straight.Good for U Kelly.
