The news has been full of stories about people – largely celebrities – who don’t stop drinking or taking drugs after drug rehab. But for every story out there like that, there are innumerable stories about people who go to drug rehab and make it. Fortunately, some of them are also making the news. Pop star, Fergie, for example has just revealed that she had a serious addiction to methamphetamine, which she kicked thanks to getting the addiction help she needed.

“I had chemically induced paranoid schizophrenia,” she told Allure. “At one point I gave myself an ultimatum, because I was absolutely sure the FBI and a SWAT team were coming for me. I said, ‘OK, if you walk through that door and they’re not out there, then it’s the drugs.’”

Thankfully for Fergie, she did receive drug addiction treatment, and today she has a successful career as lead singer of the Black Eyed Peas and as a solo singer.
 
Hopefully Fergie’s story inspire others to stay away from drugs and, if they’re on them already, to get the addiction help services they need.
