It’s official, AstroChicks is HOOKED on Dr. Drew Sex Rehab. Dr. Drew, a Virgo, provides a sensitive and practical approach to getting off booze, drugs, and sex.
Amber Smith, a gorgeous actress and model, has been a regular on ALL the Dr. Drew shows including: Dr Drew Celebrity Rehab, Dr. Drew Sober House and now Sex Rehab. Who knew addiction shows could become your full time job. Some fans think Dr. Drew has a MAJOR crush on Amber, our favorite Pisces Girl.
Amber, as a Pisces, is a true romantic at heart. She loves to be in love. Very feminine, sensitive, and emotional she wears her heart on her sleeve. The daughter of professional American football player Russell Conway Smith, Smith had started modeling by age 16. She’s graced the covers of Sports Illustrated, Cosmo, Vogue, and Elle.
In a new interview, she discusses her very personal journey overcoming alcohol, drug and love addiction.
Tell me about this obsession that led you to the show.
Dr. Drew invited me on ‘Loveline,’ his radio program. He asked how sobriety was treating me, and I said, ‘The truth is, I don’t know what I’m doing. I’m sober but I’m depressed.’ The truth was, I got really obsessed with a guy. I couldn’t stop. I’m following him all over Los Angeles. It’s the only thing I was living for. I wasn’t working, I wasn’t functioning. I asked him, ‘Is this normal?’ I mean, this guy had a girlfriend, I didn’t think he was interested, but I couldn’t stop. And then it came out that I was obsessed with another guy for 12 years, not even living with him, just hooking up really at first, and then I got really obsessed with him for 12 years. That’s a long time to never forget about someone. I had mentioned that on ‘Celebrity Rehab’ and that’s where it came out initially. We never go into it then, but then I talked to Dr. Drew about it during the radio show.
You were telling me that there’s a difference between sex addiction and love addiction – and you say that regardless of the title of the show you are love addicted. Could you tell me more about that?
I was really worried about the way he spoke about it. In love addiction, women addicts have an over idealized view of love and obsession starts and it’s a real strange phenomenon that is really an intimacy disorder. Sex addiction is about fear and intimacy. It’s primarily an intimacy disorder even though it sounds salacious – a sex disorder. Love addiction is the opposite, it’s fear of abandonment. We get so needy that it drives people away.
Any anxieties about being on this show?
This is a different show and they’re really pumping it up. I’m just holding my breath and hoping that it starts getting real and starts getting into what sex addiction and love addiction is. Not focusing too much on all the drama. I take it very seriously.
In the end, hopefully Amber will find love and happiness. In 2010, astrologically it looks like she will continue on her journey and possibly find her Prince Charming by 2012 and get married. Either way, we’re rooting for her.
