Lamar Odom opened up about his journey to sobriety, nearly three months after the former professional basketball player was arrested and charged with driving under the influence in Las Vegas.
The two-time NBA champion recently appeared on Page Six Radiowhere he revealed how he got “completely sober” during his battle with addiction.
“Right now I’m completely sober; I don’t even drink alcohol,” Lamar said. “If you do your training, addiction [is where] you suffer from a brain disease, like cancer or any other disease. I don’t think anyone would want to have cancer.”
The formal professional player further said, “So because I get educated about diseases, it becomes easier and easier for me to stay sober the more I get educated.”
“If you have an addictive mind, the last thing you want to do is give him drugs,” added Lamar, who was married to reality star Khloe Kardashian from 2009 to 2016.
After his arrest in January, the 46-year-old enrolled in a 30-day program at a recovery center in Los Angeles.
“I’ve been completely sober for almost 60 days,” he said USA today in March. “No pot, no alcohol. I think quitting marijuana was probably the hardest part for me.”
