Barrymore was drinking alcohol at the age of 9 and using cocaine at the age of 12. She knows all about detox firsthand. It is for this reason that Barrymore wanted to give advice to all of the young starlets that have drug and alcohol addictions.
Barrymore told Vogue magazine, "If you don’t pull it together for yourself, no one else will."
The 32-year-old actress is now clean and does not want to preach. She thinks work can help keep a person away from tempting situations. She added, "That’s coming from a person who had to try it all … and who still loves to have a good time."
