Lindsay Lohan was photographed leaving her hotel and going to world renown Max Clifford’s PR company on Thursday (February 18) in London, England. Check out pictures from FilmMagic. Perhaps the star was given advice to open up about her substance abuse problems, because the 23-year-old spoke out about drug and alcohol abuse.
“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 can feel emotions because I choose to,” Lohan explained. “I learned from my mistakes and I’m now healthy and happier. I never want to be close to losing everything I worked for and aspired to have my whole life. Mind-altering substances are so dangerous. If I can teach others, especially teens, by sharing my experiences, then that’s what I will continue to do. I’ve made some dreadful mistakes but learned from them – that has probably saved my life.
Though many may be troubled that someone who had multiple rehab stints and a pair of DUIs would still be consuming alcohol and rationalizing it. “I’m allowed to drink now but I know my limits,” Lohan explained, perhaps referring to the guidelines for her probation. “There are certain situations where I have obligations. There’s no reason to (drink) because I don’t want to feel like sh** in the morning.”
