Drug addiction is a very complicated process. Is not Paula Abdul or anyone else ever said, "Gee, when I grow up I want to be a drug addict," and I wonder what you can identify a specific day when they are admitted, "Today, I am an addict .She was quoted as saying, "I was freezing, then sweating hot as chat and in so much pain.

It was unbearable. But at my very heart, I did not like existing the way I had been. I could have killed me. "But Abdul has spoken out to clarify her comments - and she is determined that she has never struggled with drug abuse, as reported. She says:" It was very stressful for me to hear it and give to say something I never said. I have never checked into a Rehab clinic. I have never been dependent on or abused drugs, and I have never been dependent on or abused alcohol. I have never even been drunk in my life. "And she insists that she never told the magazine she checked into a spa for Rehab stint:" It is a spa. I was there for almost three days to have fun doing spa stuff. It is not a clinic. It is not a rehabilitation place. It is a luxury spa. It's like taking a mini vacation.

"I could have killed me," she tells this month's issue of Ladies' Home Journal.

The withdrawal was "the worst thing. I was freezing, then sweating hot as chat and so much pain.It was unbearable. But at my very heart, I did not like existing the way I had been."

So she has just been pretending to be totally out of it all these years?
