Former NBA star Lamar Odom announced he has completed 100 days of sobriety. Odom shared the update on social media along with a message to his followers. “There are days I don’t think I could make it,” he wrote. ” The sobriety period began in January.
That month, police in Las Vegas pulled Odom over for traveling well over the posted speed limit of 65 MPH. Authorities said he reeked of marijuana during the traffic stop and failed subsequent field sobriety tests. The criminal case against him remains ongoing.
It is unclear whether the incident prompted his decision to stop using substances.
Odom directed part of his post to people facing personal difficulties. “To anyone out there fighting their own battles — whether it’s addiction, depression, or just trying to find your way — keep going,” he wrote. “Better days are ahead. I promise. ” He asked fans for continued prayers and expressed appreciation for their support.
“I appreciate every single one of you,” he said. ” Odom played seven seasons for the Los Angeles Lakers during his NBA career. His struggles with substance use have been widely reported, including in a recent Netflix film that examined his near-death experience in Nevada and other personal matters.
