When was drew barrymore in rehab

And watching your documentary — I mean, I don't know how many interviews and conversations I'm going to have on this show where I'm watching a mirror image of everything I've been through, as well. Drew spoke to Paris about how much her documentary resonated with her as she had experienced many of the same things.

I haven't seen a kind of story like this really reflected out there very often that's one I recognize so deeply.

I was out of control. She just threw her hands up and threw me in there, not knowing where else to turn to. And that place really did help me and it did save my life, and I actually wouldn't change a thing.

One of the most frightening things Drew said she had to do in rehab was confront new and overwhelming emotions.

Being drunk and high all the time had suppressed feelings of low self-esteem, resentment and bitterness towards her mother for not providing the guidance she craved and needed. The truth is— you are never fully recovered. You must learn how to cope with problems that fuel and intensify your disease after leaving rehab.
