Naomi Campbell Says Cocaine Had A Bad Effect On Her Life  Naomi Campbell |
Supermodel Naomi Campbell has openly confessed that she used cocaine in her 20s but admitted that it badly affected her life.
"It rips your world apart. I never thought I was an alcoholic but it goes hand in hand with the drugs," Campbell was quoted as saying.
"Emotionally I was just gone. I was emotionally unattached to myself. You just want to numb your pain. And I`ve got tons of stuff. Same as everybody else. I didn`t like the way I was. Drink and drugs are an allergy for me, and they don`t make me a better person," she added.
Campbell, 40 said that she was a party goer and drugs soon became the fun thing for her, unaware of its side effects.
"I was a party girl. I started quite late, 24. I was having fun. It wasn`t that I couldn`t get out of bed in the morning without it. It wasn`t a coping mechanism. It was a party thing and I didn`t realise how powerful it was, in a very wrong way."
However, now the catwalk queen is proud that she took help at the right time and did not became the slave of the drug demon.
"Recovery is a positive thing. There`s nothing to be ashamed of. When you know you need help, and seek help, you need that time to deal with it. Get used to that new discipline. Tell when you are ready to tell. There`s no shame. There are people who get out of that prison, like Eric Clapton. I wanted to know what it was - that peace, that serenity. A lot of my friends didn`t want to hang out with me when I came back. That hurt."
