It’s no secret that Kelly Osbourne went through a hellish battle with addiction, but how bad it really got has finally come to light.
Kelly has recently opened up about her darkest days and they sure ain’t pretty.
She admits that during the time her mother was diagnosed with colon cancer in 2002, she began to experiment with drugs and alcohol, including strong pain killers. By the time her father, Ozzy Osbourne, had his near-fatal quad-bike accident in 2003, she was up to 50 Vicodin pills a day!
She says, “Most people would overdose on 10.”
She gave rehab a chance several times, but each time proved a failure, which put Kelly in a more darker place than before. She spent time at the UCLA Medical Center in Los Angeles, where she was held on a psychiatric ward, per her parents request. But even that did not help.
When she returned home, things got even worse, as Kelly became a recluse and refused to leave her home or take care of herself.
She says:
“I wasn’t prepared for the speed of my downward spiral. Within a month I wasn’t showering or brushing my teeth and my only relationship was with the pizza delivery man. The fact I didn’t die is a miracle.”
Happily, Kelly has found a way to pull through, as she claims to have kicked the addiction to pills since her last stint in rehab back in January. But she is still wary about the future:
“If I think about relapsing again, I want to cry. I’m realistic. For the first time, I’ve learned my biggest lesson: there’s strong chance I will relapse. But because I recognise that, I feel like I’ve got the strength to fight it.”
Stay strong, bb!
We know you got a lot of fight left in you!
