After his jet ski accident, he got hooked on the addictive pain medication Vicodin. He told People that "It wasn’t my intention to have a problem with it.

Stone-cold fox Jessica Simpson has been very open and honest about just how bad her addiction became even while she was a mother. Now she has been sober since 2017. In her recent memoir Open Book, Jessica said "I was killing myself with all the drinking and pills. I need to stop. Something's got to stop. And if it's the alcohol that's doing this, and making things worse, then I quit."She has even been honest about being blackout drunk during big family events like Halloween for her children. thank goodness the proud mom is clean now!

Child star Amanda Bynes also had a very public downward spiral to rock bottom. She had countless arrests, and incredibly erratic behavior like starting a fire in her neighbor's driveway, having to use a gas station bathroom to rinse gasoline off of her dog, and having multiple hit and runs, including sideswiping a police officer! She has completed rehab but has struggled with deep mental health issues forcing her parents to take conservatorship over her affairs.

Former Black Eyed Peas member Fergie has been honest about how her addiction to ecstasy turned into a crystal meth addiction.

The "Fergalicious" singer told iNews "I was hallucinating on a daily basis. It took a year after getting off that drug for the chemicals in my brain to settle so that I stopped seeing things. I'd just be sitting there, seeing a random bee or bunny."

Daniel Radcliffe did something very difficult for most people struggling with addiction, he voluntarily gave up alcohol on his own. The Harry Potter star realized he had gotten to a dark place and forced to isolate himself. He told ShortList magazine "I was living in constant fear of who I'd meet, what I might have said to them, what I might have done with them, so I'd stay in my apartment for days and drink alone. I was a recluse at 20. It was pathetic, it wasn't me. I'm a fun, polite person, and it turned me into a rude bore."

Comedian Russell Brand told the Los Angeles Times "I hit rock bottom in 2003 with an addiction to heroin, which had cost me a job at MTV, a radio show, friends and girlfriends. I'd been doing drugs since age 19 and was a heroin addict for four years." Luckily, he overcame the harsh grip of addiction and used the 12-step program.His story is one that helps others know they are not alone "Sharing your story with another addict, as I did in my recovery, proved vital. Nothing I said to this other person was too boring or terrible or trivial to him. He related to me, and the disconnectedness that I had always felt lifter. And so did the need to take drugs."

The drop-dead gorgeous Dark Knight Rises star also entered a 12 step program in 2003 and has been 100% sober ever since! Booze was his drug of choice but The Peaky Blinders star has been able to stay away from temptation since he was 25!
