London
(ANI):
Kelly
Osbourne
first
consumed
drugs
at
the
age
of
13.
In
her
new
book,
Fierce,
Kelly
has
revealed
how
her
first
experiences
with
prescription
drugs
led
to
a
downward
spiral
that
saw
her
in
rehab
four
times
in
six
years.
“I
had
my
tonsils
out.
I
was
prescribed
liquid
Vicodin,
a
strong
opiate
like
heroin,
only
available
in
America," the
Sun
quoted
her
as
saying.
“When
I
swallowed
that
tiny
dose
I
felt
relaxed
and
contented.
I
thought,
"I
like
the
feeling
this
drug
gives
me".
The
prescription
ran
out,
and
that
was
the
end
of
that.
“But,
three
years
later,
aged
16,
I
was
at
Hollywood
club
Las
Palmas
when
an
older
guy
I'd
never
seen
before
said,
"Hey,
want
one
of
these?".
He
had
a
prescription
bottle
of
pills
that
looked
like
Vicodin.
I
took
a
small
white
pill
and
swallowed
it.
"
“I
quickly
felt
I
could
talk
to
anyone.
I
was
relaxed,
happy
and
a
bit
tingly.
It
was
the
same
feeling
as
when
I
had
my
tonsils
out
and
I
thought,
"I've
found
my
magic
remedy".
The
next
morning,
I
called
the
guy
and
bought
two
or
three
pills
for
about
20
dollars,"
she
added.
The
singer,
who
is
the
daughter
of
rock
legend
Ozzy
Osbourne,
spoke
about
her
rehabilitation
experience
too.
She
added:
“They
checked
me
into
the
psychiatric
ward
at
the
UCLA
Medical
Institution
in
LA,
where
years
later
Britney
Spears
would
be
sectioned.
“I
was
so
frightened
-
it
was
full
of
crazy
people.
As
I
curled
up
in
a
tight
ball,
the
air
was
filled
with
ear-piercing
screams.
I
didn't
leave
my
room
for
five
days.
It''s
one
of
the
scariest
things
I
have
ever
done,
but
also
one
of
the
best."
