Pink checked into a health center over the summer because she felt that her drinking was getting out of control. She went to see a therapist to determine a course of action because she started to fear that she was becoming an alcoholic.

She says, “A few months ago, I went to see a specialist because I thought I was an alcoholic. I have a problem with my vices. I’ve kicked the drugs, but every now and then I have to go out and get completely wasted on alcohol. For me it’s about losing control. I’m such a control freak it’s very hard for me to lose my inhibitions without something chemical inside me. How do you really have fun if there isn’t a little drink in you? I don’t actually know. I checked into Canyon Ranch in Tucson, Arizona, in the summer and I went to see a therapist, telling him I was an alcoholic. He asked me when I’d had my last drink and I couldn’t remember – it had been a few weeks previously. I then read the AA manual cover to cover and we talked. I realized I wasn’t an alcoholic, just someone who likes to get drunk every now and again. I’m trying to work out if that’s a bad thing.”

After checking out the Canyon Ranch on their website, I can say that it’s a spa-like resort vacation spot. They don’t sell booze or cigarettes, and they’re very expensive. Must be nice!
