Train Wrecks
Fergie's Meth Meltdown

Not so Fergalicious: Black Eyed Peas' Fergie has come clean about her addiction to meth, and in this month's Self magazine, she talks about a particularly hamper-ing moment on the drug.

One time she was so paranoid on the drug that she talked to her hamper for eight hours straight. "I remember thinking somebody was inside of it, going to come and get me, so I was talking to the person who was crawling in the hamper," she admits. Now that's a bad trip!

32. and these are people the public admires?

Not me.

I'm glad for recovering addicts, but why were they so stupid and self-indulgent to start drugs in the first place? I know hundreds, thousands of people who have enough sense to never start drugs. They are the people I admire.

33. If you have never been addicted to meth, you do not know how much hell she went through to kick the habit. Trust me, its not an easy drug to say no to after experienceing it first hand, even when you know deep down that its the DEVIL and you should stay away from it.
I have alot of respect for anybody who can break this terrible habit, as I have.
I never had open sores or rotting teeth, but then i was only on it for about 4 years and never picked at my skin like alot of addicts do.
I'd be proud of the fact I was able to kick the habit and tell my story also if I knew it would help even one person to get off of the stuff.

38. She has two very good reasons for not going back on the Meth:
1. Her HOT multi-million $ career
2. Her smokin' HOT boyfriend, Josh Duhamel

If she went back on the s***, she'd prolly lose 'em both. That'd be enough to keep me on the straight n' narrow. Especially the Josh part. Flossy Floss, indeed!

39. She had come clean about it before in Cosmo last year. I thought she was an ex-meth-head, but now everyone's saying she's currently on it????

40. I applaud Fergie for coming to the public and admitting the troubles she went through instead of having it come out in the tabloids in some nasty way and then trying to deny it. Underneath it all, celebrities are also human and they make mistakes just like the rest of us. You go, Fergie!!

41. My twenties are a blur from all of the cocaine my friends and I snorted and smoked.

I quit after I witness an incident when I was smoking coke/crack with a friend at her parents house one night. I went to the bathroom and came back in her room to find her in the floor having a seizure, her 8 year old son was screaming and holding her in his arms.

I never touched that stuff again! That was 16 years ago.

Congrats to Fergie for getting herself together.

42. Is it just me, or is there something skanky about Fergie; like the meth background fits.

44. congrats #12 and all others who have managed to recover from such a devastating addiction. I did grow up surrounded by addicts of drugs and alcohol. I have seen the horrors they went through trying to recover. It is not a good place to be (for them). I do not know , however, the intensity of the Meth addiction.
