"I'm that girl that when everything is going great, I need to f*** it up a little and make everything a little bit worse in my life. I am an addict and had thought that I had enough time under my belt, and I could drink like a normal person. And it turns out, I cannot, and I will never be normal."

Osbourne told fans last week that she wanted to stay truthful by opening up about her relapse.

She's now said that by holding herself accountable and "owning" her journey, she can help other people who may be struggling.

Going into further detail on what triggered the relapse, the star - who is dating skateboarder Erik Bragg - said: "I got all of my career goals happening… and then I got happy cause I got this incredible boyfriend and everything in my life is so great and I’m like I’m not an addict anymore… On top of that pandemic fever… It all just got too much.”

Her younger brother Jack has also battled addiction issues and marked 18 years of sobriety last week.
