Jamie Lee Curtis Recalls Stealing Vicodin From Her Sister During Battle With Addiction
According to the publication, the actress started taking painkillers after she had a plastic surgery procedure to remove"puffiness" around her eyes and was given Vicodin.
"I was the wildly controlled drug addict and alcoholic," she recalled."I never did it when I worked. I never took drugs before 5 p.m. I never, ever took painkillers at 10 in the morning. It was that sort of late afternoon and early evening—I like to refer to it as the warm-bath feeling of an opiate. It's like the way you naturally feel when your body is cool, and you step into a warm bath, and you sink into it.
"The jig was up," Curtis told the magazine."Now I knew someone knew. I had been nursing a secret Vicodin addiction for a very long time—over 10 years.", Kelly had been prescribed the drug after suffering an injury during a play; however, she reportedly didn't like the way it made her feel.
"But then when she was moving out, I knew she was going to find the empty bottle," Curtis said."So I wrote her a letter and I said, ‘I've done a terrible thing, and I've stolen your pills from you, and I'm sorry.' When I came home that night, I was terrified that she was going to be so angry at me, but she just looked at me and put her arms out and hugged me and said, ‘You are an addict and I love you, but I am not going to watch you die.' That's it.
