Hayes has been open about her struggles with addiction for years. In her 2013 memoir, Baring My Soul, she revealed that she had been addicted to cocaine and alcohol for many years. She has since gotten sober, but she admits that it was a long and difficult road.
"I was a functioning addict for a long time," she said. "I was able to hold down a job, but I was also drinking and using drugs every day. I was living a double life."
"I've been in therapy for many years," she said. "I've learned a lot about myself, and I've come to terms with my mental illnesses. I'm still not perfect, but I'm in a much better place now."
"I've made a lot of mistakes in my life," she said. "But I'm not going to let them define me. I'm a strong woman, and I'm going to keep fighting." Hayes's confessions are a reminder that everyone has their own struggles. No one is perfect, and everyone makes mistakes. The important thing is to learn from your mistakes and keep moving forward.
