Pink feared she was an alcoholic.
Pop star Pink checked into a health centre over the summer - because she feared she was an alcoholic. The So What hitmaker, who split from husband Carey Hart earlier this year, admits she finds it difficult to have fun without having a drink because she’s such a “control freak”.
But the star, real name Alecia Moore, felt her drinking was getting out of control - so went to see a therapist to determine a course of action. She says, “A few months ago, I went to see a specialist because I thought I was an alcoholic.
“I have a problem with my vices. I’ve kicked the drugs, but every now and then I have to go out and get completely wasted on alcohol. For me it’s about losing control. I’m such a control freak it’s very hard for me to lose my inhibitions without something chemical inside me. How do you really have fun if there isn’t a little drink in you? I don’t actually know.
“I checked into Canyon Ranch in Tucson, Arizona, in the summer and I went to see a therapist, telling him I was an alcoholic. He asked me when I’d had my last drink and I couldn’t remember - it had been a few weeks previously. I then read the AA (Alcoholics Anonymous) manual cover to cover and we talked. I realised I wasn’t an alcoholic, just someone who likes to get drunk every now and again. I’m trying to work out if that’s a bad thing.”
