Celebrities Who Have Successfully Battled Addiction

Oprah Winfrey

This might come as a shock, but the 61-year-old talk show host and philanthropist Oprah Winfrey has actually battled drug addiction before her days of fame. She confessed to smoking crack cocaine in an era of emotional turmoil. Having no sense that she deserved better, Oprah was romantically involved with a crack addict at the time, but she was addicted rather to the man, than the drug, as she explained. Even though she had stopped with the drug abuse after her relationship was over, she was involved in a second similar situation in 1985 with Randolph Cook, who said that they’ve lived together and did drugs. However, Oprah can safely say that these drug-related cases are all in the past and that she’s clear of her addiction.
