Supermodel Kate Moss, career has fallen apart, in the last week, after we saw pictures of her apparently taking enormous amounts of cocaine. She has already lost lucrative contracts with H&M, Burberry and Chanel; a multi-million dollar contract with cosmetic giant Rimmel still hangs in the balance. Kate has back into rehab and apologized promising to get her life back on track.
Good Luck. Kate you are a great model and I know that most people wish you the best in your recovery, here are my tips for a successful journey.
Accept what you cannot change.
We have all seen the pictures so we know that you have been taking drugs, make the past history. You have a problem with drugs and you need to deal with it before it gets completely out of control. You might have thought that nobody could see the damage you are doing to yourself. Perhaps because you have got away with it for so long you have been kidding yourself. Keep taking drugs at the rate you have been a nd they will kill you.
Be honest with yourself.
By all means do a TV interview, but there is no need to drag others into it. Dont try and blame anyone else even if you feel you have been badly let down. Inspire us with your honesty about your addiction; we will respect you for it. Act with integrity, you dont need the money. Maybe you dont want to work as much as you are now; perhaps the price you have paid is too high already.
Get clean and sober for yourself first.
In order to be the best mum, to Lila Grace, you need to be selfish and put your recovery first. You are not a bad person, just someone who has got completely out of control.
Seek professional help.
A professional will help you with the many emotions that start to surface as you sober up. Dont forget there are many well known people who have trodden a similar path to you and have managed very successfully and privately to get off drugs and alcohol, use their experiences.
You are only human.
Thank goodness, you have started to show us your vulnerability, now show us your courageous side. In 6 months time we will forgotten all the sordid images we have seen.
Act as a role model.
Kids everywhere look up to you. Even if every other person in the fashion industry or in the city indulge coke, show them there is life after drugs. You will still be Kate and inspire thousands to follow you.
Trust others.
Your work will come back, if you show your sponsors you have changed. You will be able to leverage your recovery in a very powerful way if you choose to.
Enjoy the journey.
Discover things about yourself you might not like as well as things you actually do like about yourself.
Dump all the people who have colluded with your drug taking.
Your friends who have been keeping you safe have resulted in your addictions spiraling out of control.
Sorry is the hardest word to say.
Make amends to those you really care about and have caused upset to. You can do this by just staying clean and sober.
