Posted by
We're just so relieved that she's realized just how out of control her life really was.
Anyone who watched this season of Real Housewives of Beverly Hills knows just how fargone Kim Richards had succumbed to her addictions to alcohol and drugs, and having finally gone through a 30-day rehab program, the reality starlet is opening up about her struggles!
She explains:
"I am an alcoholic. I just didn't like me anymore. I couldn't look at myself in the mirror. I've struggled with it, and I've been working on it for a while. I am a person who has done it and relapsed and done it [again]. I had so much guilt and shame for my behavior...then I drank to cover the guilt and shame and make it go away. It's a vicious cycle. At least I'm trying. I'm really trying."
We're happy to hear that you are, gurl.
It's very clear that you needed help and support in the fight for sobriety, and we wish you all the best as you continue you're recovery.
