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."

you can be different and make something of yourself -get the help you need

40. Oh, yeah right! Give me a blinking break.....she is just saying "all the right things" to appeal to everyone. She knows she's a spoiled celebrity with NO talent or job ethic(just like the rest of them) and is about to lose it all(possibly). She just doesn't want to go to jail, because we ALL know Hollywood will take any Felon/Loser back. She's not even cute. The layers of spray on makeup cover all her freckles. Not that freckles aren't cute, but if so, then why hide them????
