Lamar Odom has opened up about his sobriety journey, nearly three months after the former professional basketball player was arrested for drunken driving in Las Vegas.
Two-time NBA champion recently appeared page six radioWhere he revealed how he became “completely sober” during his battle with addiction.
“Right now I’m totally sober—I don’t even drink,” Lamar said. “If you get your education, addiction (is where) you suffer from a brain disease like cancer or any other disease. I don’t think anyone would want to have cancer.”
The formal professional athlete continued, “So, I’m being educated about the disease, the more I’m becoming educated, the easier it is for me to stay sober.”
“If you have an addicted brain, the last thing you want to do is feed it any kind of drugs,” said Lamar, who was married to reality star Khloe Kardashian from 2009 to 2016.
Following his arrest in January, the 46-year-old enrolled himself in a 30-day program at a recovery center in Los Angeles.
“I’ve been completely sober for about 60 days,” he told USA TODAY in March. “No pot, no alcohol. I think, for me, marijuana was probably the hardest to stop.”
