Alsina opened up to friend Jada Pinkett Smith over the summer about how he conquered his addiction.
“When I went through this experience of making a decision — and it’s literally as simple as making a decision — I didn’t go to a rehab, I didn’t go to a clinic,” he said to Smith on her show “Red Table Talk” in July. “I literally had to sit in my house with myself. … I know that anybody who ever experiences an addiction with pills, you have to pay the piper. Ain’t no way around it. And it’s not even an experience that I can tell you what it feels like. … Withdrawals is not a good feeling at all.
“The s— I had to go through to get away from those pills, I felt like a bus ran me over,” he added.
