Worse Than A Sickness

Kelly Osbourne has been battling with addiction for a very long time. She has gone to rehab for her substance abuse of drugs and alcohol many times. Osbourne revealed previously that she became addicted to the prescription opioid medication given to her after surgery when she was 13 years old.

When she originally revealed this truth, she explained how she “kept getting sick” and “had a really bad case of tonsilitis.” A surgery was done to fix this and then they gave her Vicodin.

The fashion designer went on to discuss how the “you’re not good enough” voices disappeared with drugs. She had “every voice in my head being like, ‘You’re fat, you’re ugly, you’re not good enough.'” These voices also said, “‘No one likes you, you don’t deserve this, people only like you because of who your parents are.’ And then, all of a sudden, every single voice was silenced and it felt like life gave me a hug.”

This only allowed for her addiction to worsen. She traded her Vicodin for Percocet and her Percocet for heroin to save money. The British media personality expressed how this is a never-ending battle and even when she was sober for 4 years, she relapsed and it is exactly like starting all over.

Not What Rehab Should Be

After finishing her 7th trip to rehab, she reveals the truth and the harm it has done. She told the world her story in the documentary, TMZ Investigates Matthew Perry And The Secret Celerity Drug Ring.

Speaking the truth about the dangers of rehab the singer said, “First rehab I went to was like University on how to be a better drug addict.” Additionally, she explained how she’d, “learned so many tricks, so many things that I never even thought of from my fellow addicts that were there.”

Furthermore, she revealed that she’d, “seen people threaten to leave until they got given what they wanted, whether it be Ambien for sleep or Valium for nerves – they would somehow end up getting it.”

Moreover, she told how the staff members were also contributing to the harmful nature of the rehabs. She said they would, “sit outside of AA meetings looking for weak and vulnerable people that they encourage to go and relapse so they can pick you up again.”
What happened to her and others, Osbourne has expressed as “heartbreaking.” Luckily, it seems she has a support system with her partner, Sid Wilson. He is also the father of her son. Hopefully, with positive things in her life, she can grow.
Additionally, people like Kelly need to speak out on the real-world culture of rehab. Even if people believe she is just a nepo baby, she has the ability for lots of people to hear her.
