Amber Valletta has revealed her drug and alcohol addiction saying that she suffered from a disease called addiction and she had it for as long as she could remember.

The American model told wellness website MindBodyGreen.com that she sniffed markers, sniffed glue, fingernail polish, anything that could give her a buzz, the People Magazine reported.

Valletta asserted that she had a multimillion dollar deal and she showed up the first day to shoot this campaign high and drunk and she didn't care and that was just to show that addiction could take one to the worst places.

The 40-year-old actress added that she was not a victim and she did not blame anything that happened to her that was negative.
