DELILAH Hamlin shared a big update on her addiction battle following her Xanax overdose and stint in rehab.
The model previously revealed that she sought professional help at a holistic treatment facility.
Delilah took to social media to give her followers the latest news on her progress in a happy post.
The 23-year-old – who is the daughter of Real Housewives of Beverly Hills star Lisa Rinna – shared the message on her Instagram Stories of her excitingly yelling: “I’m six months sober!”
She appeared to be at a salon when she delivered the news by recording herself in the mirror.
The runway model boasted about her huge accomplishment donning a baggy tan sweatshirt with a watch and stack of beaded bracelets on her wrist.
She wore her long blonde hair down as she jumped for joy in the clip, before bringing her hand to her chest, smiling with gratitude.
She included in the video a heart with a timer marking the six month achievement.
Fans worried about the star as just earlier this month, she admitted her struggles with her addiction in a candid note.
Alongside an image of her bangle-clad forearm, with a drip inserted, she bravely wrote: “I have been getting a lot of questions about my health recently.
“I have good days and bad days.
“I try my best to power through but sometimes I just can’t.
“So I’ve just gotten an IV [drip] and am now in bed at 8pm on a Saturday night,” followed by a thumbs-up emoji.
HEALTH BATTLE
Last year, she opened up about her health issues on the platform, revealing that she had suffered from a variety of medical emergencies recently.
She went on to explain how an adverse reaction to the Covid-19 vaccine caused migraines, panic attacks and a form of Obsessive Compulsive Disorder that led to a fear of eating meat.
She then said that a psychiatrist “overprescribed” her with Xanax, leaving her feeling “hopeless” and “helpless.”
Delilah confessed that an “overdose” led to her seeking professional help at a holistic treatment facility.
“My body got dependent on Xanax, number one, and number two, I overdosed — I didn’t mean to at all — I overdosed on this one medication called propranolol,” she said.
“I took Benadryl with it, and for some reason, I ended up in the hospital.”
‘FEELING HOPELESS’
In an effort to find help, Delilah explained that she entered a holistic treatment facility in Arizona for her Xanax dependency.
She said: “I wasn’t like a drug addict, but my body was dependent on it because of how much the doctor had prescribed me.”
While successfully battling her addiction, including, as she said: “cutting down so much on my Xanax,” she claimed her seizures got so bad she was suddenly asked to leave the facility.
Delilah referred to herself as a “medical risk”, adding that one day her legs “just decided not to work” and she fell and hit her head, causing a concussion.
“That’s when they were like, you’re a medical risk,” she said. “They said, ‘We’re not a medical facility. The seizures are scaring us.'”
Toward the end of her video, the reality star asked if any of her followers could offer up any recommendations for specialists or treatments.
Delilah detailed her condition, stating that mentally she was not doing well: “I’m feeling hopeless since the last place I went to didn’t really work out. I can look perfectly fine and feel perfectly horrible. That’s just that. That’s something I struggle with mentally, is feeling believed.”
SUPPORTIVE POSTS
Fans and supporters rallied behind the TV star in the comments section.
“Sending you love and light,” Paris Hilton wrote.
Delilah’s then-boyfriend, Eyal Booker, said: “I love you & know you will get better. Day by day. So proud of you for continuing to fight.”
Lisa also thanked fans at the time after Delilah posted it, calling them “angels” in an Instagram Story, per Page Six.
She wrote: “Thank you to all of the angels who have reached out, sharing their stories, sending their love and prayers, we are so grateful to you all for your help and your guidance!!”
