This is pure speculation of course because I don't know what she was taking, but I do think she is physically and mentally and emotionally addicted to drugs. Jason Alexander - her husband of 55 hours - says she used X (to party), coke (to stay awake the next day), pot (like cigarettes), xanax and vicodin (to come down and get some sleep) and would stay awake for days at a time using like this. Not to mention booze. She was with him a few years ago.Compos Mentis said:I really don't know if Britney was technically "addicted" to anything. To me, personally, it just seems like she was more emotionally spinning out of control and probably taking everything that was around (like the club scene for example). So I believe she was drinking alot, taking E, maybe some coke - you know, stuff immediately available in that lifestyle. And it seems like this is something she was doing in the last five months since the baby was born - so I don't know if she was really "addicted" per se. That doesn't mean she couldn't overdose or anything like that. I just believe her family had to get her into a treatment facility - because she did (does) need to be treated! She was completely out of control and needs to get control of her life and start becoming an adult, 25 year old mother of two. There are probably serious underlying psychological problems here - but not so sure how much of it is a true "addiction".
At least four of the drugs mentioned in his laundry list are very physically addictive and lend themselves to quickly developing a tolerance so you have to use more for the same effect. I'm hard pressed to believe she didn't have some sort of genuine habit going - even if she was able to tone it down from time to time or keep it under some semblance of control for a while.
There's no question for me that her physical detox is probably very nasty.
