Pink's heroin dabble


Pink recently admitted to doing heroin as a teenager but says she stopped to focus on her singing career. "Heroin is a horrible thing. I've seen firsthand what it can do to people and it's not pretty," she said. "I was never that much into it to need treatment. But you name it, I took it. I buried three friends from heroin overdoses. I just stopped one day on Thanksgiving, 1995, and never touched them again. For me drugs were just a distraction on the way to my ultimate goal, which is what I'm doing today. I found my chance and I wanted to go for it and knew I was going to have to work for it. Boredom is a big cause of a lot of problems for a lot of people. I was performing so I wasn't bored anymore. I had something to do."
