Lindsay: "I Am Addicted to Alcohol and Drugs"

Posted Aug 23rd 2007 5:47PM by TMZ Staff

Lindsay Lohan issued the following statement to TMZ:

"It is clear to me that my life has become completely unmanageable because I am addicted to alcohol and drugs.

Recently, I relapsed and did things for which I am ashamed. I broke the law, and today I took responsibility by pleading guilty to the charges in my case. No matter what I said when I was under the influence on the day I was arrested, I am not blaming anyone else for my conduct other than myself. I thank God I did not injure others. I easily could have.

I very much want to be healthy and gain control of my life and career and have asked for medical help in doing so. I am taking these steps to improve my life. Luckily, I am not alone in my daily struggle and I know that people like me have succeeded. Maybe with time it will become easier. I hope so."

19. im glad she's finally admitted having a problem. hope it was sincere. I am not surprised at all that all she's recieving is one day in jail and 10 days of community service...however, I think the best thing for her is what she's doing...and thats getting help. good luck lindsay.

27. This statement is so articulate and so grammatically correct that I seriously doubt that she wrote it. She probably said it by reading it from a script.

30. NIce words. To bad she didn't write them or even mean them. How much do you want to bet her lawyer wrote that up? I would have loved to see the look on Paris Hilton's face when she heard this..I bet her head pretty much exploded in anger!
