Selma Blair Admits She Used Alcohol to Hide MS Symptoms in Interview Recorded Before Arrest

I just want to touch on the facts of this, too, because you do talk about getting sober. And I thought that was really fascinating that you might have been masking MS symptoms. It's wild the times that I've gone, even as a very young girl, to alcohol. I was never someone that liked drugs. I was just afraid of them. You know, I loved them. I was never someone that could tolerate opiates. Thank God. Like vomit, vomit, vomit, you know, especially with all my teeth stuff. And you get prescribed them and I try them. I'd be like, you know, I mean, it's horrible. Yeah. Yeah. So it was, I was, but I was even a very young age using it for the headaches, using it for my, you know, to calm down, using it. And I'm very young. And then, and then I realized it was the one thing that took away my nerve pain. It was the one thing that could take you from, so this to, you know, chill, but then, you know, one glass isn't enough. Two glasses isn't great. Three's better. Four's horrible. Five, you know, and I just depressive. It just wasn't going to lead me the right place and i'd still you know try things it's like i don't live like a sober sober lifestyle with that AA but drinking no i cannot do no yeah i quit drinking i think five years ago now just because my health started feels better yeah it's really hard it's a big inflammatory i wish you know i wish too because guess what i was a lot of fun on alcohol yeah i was the life of the party right until i got like sick and then that was also then i was drinking just to feel like then it was like kind of a life or death and the death was a little close with my psyche so I was not good but like oh god I wish I I wish I could be someone that could have two glasses of wine and just be flirty and fun and listen better but then I get to a point where my son was also in the know of knowing if I was gonna drink you know that's the thing and I was like open with everyone and then my son's like that's not gonna be a good idea you're like true that right true that true that you know I mean I'm still a human being but like I recognize that alcohol is not is not good medicine for me no not at all
