I don't know about you but Samaire Armstrong was my favorite cameo on The OC back in the show's 2 second heyday. She always had this fabulous Lower-East-Side Hipster meets Martha's Vineyard Prepster thing going on. Join me in congratulating the starlet on staying on the wagon for the past few months since leaving rehab. It sounds like she's doing really well. Dotspotter star contributor, nyzombie, tells us what Armstrong had to say…
Reformed party girl Samaire Armstrong — who entered outpatient treatment for three months last October for "personal issues" — says you have to be "willing" to get help.
"What made me willing was hitting a bottom," the actress, 27, told Usmagazine at the Los Angeles premiere of Bra Boys Monday.
"It can be a spiritual bottom, it can be a financial bottom," she added. "It can be a combination of all of those."
She told Us she had gone to treatment before and "was on the right path, then I got off."
So she turned to her "wonderful family and people around me who helped me overcome all of this," she said. "People who loved me showed me what was at stake. Then I put myself fully into it. I stayed there for three months and did the work."
For those who don't have support, "find it," she urged. "Figure out where it is for you. You need someone to pull you back when you can’t do that for yourself.
"Also, believe that you have a positive future," she added. "People see through the mirage. They see your pain. People wanted me to be happy."
The actress — who will be appearing part-time on ABC's Dirty Sexy Money next season — told Us she now takes life "one day at a time. That's all you can do."
