Lindsay Lohan opened up to British newspaper The Sun to spill about her drug and alcohol problem of yesteryear. As we all know, Lohan has been in rehab three times in her short 23 years. It appears that the third time may be the charm as she hasn’t gotten into any trouble with law as of late.

So why did she start using drugs to begin with?
“I tried to mask my problems with alcohol, cocaine and mind-altering substances. Now I’m in a place where I don’t need to use anything and I can feel emotions because I choose to.”
While we all know about the second and third time she entered rehab — what got her there in the beginning?
“The first time I checked myself in because I had taken Ambien. It’s a sleeping aid but it makes you hallucinate. I’d run a bath and fallen asleep on the floor and the bath had overflowed. When I woke up I was so scared, I called my therapist and said, ‘Can I just go somewhere for a month? I’m around bad people and I need to take care of myself’. I was terrified, so I put myself in. There was a point when I didn’t know how to say ‘No’ and I was trying to please everyone.”
All’s well that ends well. Lilo left the saccharine interview with this:
I’ve now learned my boundaries and I’ve been very good with cleaning house with people who I know didn’t have my best intentions at heart. A lot of people in LA are very self destructive. Partying so hard simply isn’t worth it. Life is worth living and there is so much to do and experience, it’s wonderful.”
