The former Disney star opened up to the mag about that difficult time in her life. Although she is now three years sober, she revealed that her destructive behavior almost cost her her relationship with Wilmer Valderrama.
"The only times we ever broke up were when I was relapsing, whether it was drugs or in a bad place and rebelling against everybody, not just him," she told Cosmo. "People say that relapses happen before you use. Your mind starts setting up the relapse before you take that drink or that first hit."
"The times we'd broken up, I had already gone to that place of, 'Yeah, this is what's happening,'" she added. "I didn't realize it at the time, but I just wanted to sabotage everything around me so that I could sabotage myself.”
