Today I'm thinking about Lindsay Lohan and how damaged she is. Remember when she was just that adorable little girl in Disney's remake of "Parent Trap"? I thought she had such a bright future back then.

Lindsay Lohan is finally opening up about the addictions that have lead to the demise of her career. In an interview with The Sun, Lindsay says she turned to drugs to help her forget her personal problems, especially issues she had with her dad Michael. "When my father was going public, that's when I hit rock bottom. I abused substances too much and it wasn't the answer to my problems," said Lindsay. "I tried to mask my problems with alcohol, cocaine, and mind-altering substances. Now I'm in a place where I don't need to use anything and I feel emotions because I choose to." Lindsay says her father abused cocaine, "I was terrified of it, but I tried it because I was stubborn, stupid and wanted to see what it was like." Lindsay has been to rehab three times and says that her first attempt to get clean came after she took the sleeping aid Ambien, which caused her to collapse in the bathroom and woke up to an overflowing tub. at that point she called her therapist and said, "Can I just go somewhere for a month? I'm around bad people and I need to take care of myself." Lindsay claims to be clean and sober now, and swears she's learned from her previous mistakes. "I never want to be close to losing everything I worked for and aspired to have my whole life," she said. "I've made some dreadful mistakes but learned from them-that has probably saved my life."
