Jack Osbourne Comes Clean

Crazy, but that's not how Jack wants to go.  
 
The youngest member of the Osbourne clan has come clean about his drug addiction and claims he checked into rehab after taking a close look at his party-hearty pals.  
 
After his return home from rehab June 18, Jack Osbourne sat down with MTV News to tape a tell-all interview about his drug abuse and recovery--the once omnipresent cameras at the Osbourne Beverly Hills manse didn't capture the moment for the family's reality series, since crews had already finished taping the third and final season currently airing on the music network.  
 
Ozzy's 17-year-old son, who openly dabbled with pot and booze, says his greatest reality check came while partying with his friends.  
 
"I took myself out of the picture for a second and I looked around at every single person in the room at who they were, how old they were and what they had going on in their lives. A lot of them were near 30, unemployed, living off their parents. There were heroin addicts; there were the world's biggest couch potatoes. And it was like, I don't want to be like that. I don't want my life to be controlled by a drug. I want to be in control of my life."  
 
Osbourne says he appealed to his mother, Sharon, for help while high on OxyContin and other drugs.  
 
"I was really loaded and I just sat on my mom's bed and I just said 'I am going to go pack my bags, I'm ready to go, I want to go, I need to go.' "  
 
The rock progeny checked himself into a detox facility in Pasadena April 23 " to make some changes in his life," and "with the full support of his parents," said the family's spokesperson at the time. Osbourne's decision was partially chalked up to living in the media spotlight, which had reportedly caused him to suffer from depression and insomnia.  
 
Sharon, who's admitted to regrets in the past about placing her family in MTV's fishbowl, said she blamed herself for her son's drug and alcohol abuse.  
 
"The first thing I did was put blame on myself--and in a way I always will," Sharon says in the new issue of Us Weekly. "It's a natural reaction of a mother to think, 'What could I have done differently? What could I have done wrong?' I thought I was a cutting-edge mom, and I didn't even know what was happening."  
 
Jack's interview, taped in his bedroom, airs on MTV July 8.

That is absolutely great!
 
I'm sorry that Sharon feels the need to blame herself in any way!  People make their own choices (to do drugs or not) regardless of what "station" their life is.
 
That's one of the things we were taught when our son was on pot and we joined ToughLove!  It's all about personal choices.

The senility to forget the people I never liked
The good fortune to run into the ones that I do
And the eyesight to tell the difference."
