"It was tough. Alcoholism is when you don’t have control over your drinking. I was going through a very difficult time. I was emotionally vulnerable, and to numb my emotions, I started drinking. I think it was the worst phase of my life. I had fallen off beds and injured myself. It’s a very vicious cycle to be in. For a couple of months, I wasn’t given any money, my credit cards were taken away, and it was a very unpleasant situation for me to be in," she shared.

"It’s a 28-day course, and it’s not like a normal rehab. Basically, any kind of addiction is treated there. It was a 28-day program where 5-6 counselors were grilling you. It was worse than a normal rehab. I don’t know what a normal rehab is like, but this was in one room, for 89 hours. They were just grilling you," she revealed. She also mentioned that during her treatment, she had no access to her phone and was not allowed to have addictive items such as sugar and perfume.
