Kirstie Alley opened up about her drug addiction and the rehabilitation program. In 1977, after she split with Bob Alley, she turned to drugs. The ‘It takes Two’ actress snorted a line of cocaine once and it became a destructive habit. She said, “I did a lot of cocaine. I was crazy. There was about a year’s span that I did cocaine that I was doing it -– you could say –- more occasionally, on the weekend.”

Kirstie continued, “Then my weekend became a three-day weekend, then it became four, then it became five”. Alley felt that she may die.

However, the 71-year-old actress did not die of addiction. In fact, she credits Scientology for helping her to recuperate. As her children reported, she died due to her battle with cancer. They released a statement which read, “She was surrounded by her closest family and fought with great strength, leaving us with a certainty of her never-ending joy of living and whatever adventures lie ahead. As iconic as she was on screen, she was an even more amazing mother and grandmother”.
