dailyloe.com – Former NBA star Lamar Odom is currently 56 days sober, he exclusively told Page Six. He credits the late Kobe Bryant’s ‘Mamba Mentality’ for his ongoing recovery. This revelation comes ahead of a new Netflix documentary on his life.
Odom, 46, discusses his near-fatal 2015 overdose in the film ‘Untold: The Death & Life of Lamar Odom’. The documentary premieres Tuesday on the streaming platform. It covers his career, marriage to Khloe Kardashian, and addiction struggles.
The film details how Kobe Bryant rushed to his side after the overdose. Odom was in a coma at a Nevada brothel and unaware of the visit. He now believes that love and support were crucial to his survival.
Reflecting on past drug use, Odom states he is not the same person. He actively works to protect his hard-won sobriety every single day. The former Laker says he has come too far to backtrack now.
His journey has been challenging, including a DUI arrest in Las Vegas this January. Odom now focuses on reading and sharpening his mental faculties. He expresses a desire to live a long and fulfilling life.[]
