The daytime talk show host stablished the 1-888-5HUNTER hotline in partnership with with her Hunter Foundation. Last week, after returning from her three-month hiatus, Williams revisited her past use of drugs. “Once you’re a substance abuser, you have to battle that for the rest of your life,” she said. “I’ve told you about my 10-year ride with the cocaine and the crack. Oh, yes, crack is wack — but it was very good to me at a particularly stupid point in my life. … I was a mess, functioning, killing myself. I realize that I am a walking addict. Do you know what I’m saying? You can’t just clean it up and stop it and think it’s not going to affect you.”
