In her upcoming memoir, Bits and Pieces: My Mother, My Brother, and Me, Hollywood actress Whoopi Goldberg reflects on her past struggles with drug addiction. Goldberg admitted to a serious cocaine addiction in the '80s after initially staying away from drugs following a stint in rehab in the early '70s. She recalled how recreational drug use became the norm in Hollywood and New York parties, with easy access to substances like cocaine and Quaaludes. Despite using heavily for about a year, Goldberg managed to function professionally until a terrifying hallucination prompted her to quit. The wake-up call came when a hotel housekeeper caught her snorting cocaine in a closet, leading her to realize she needed to change her lifestyle to survive. Goldberg's candid memoir offers a glimpse into her journey from addiction to recovery, emphasizing the importance of making tough choices for one's well-being. Bits and Pieces: My Mother, My Brother, and Me is set to hit shelves on May 7.
