Lamar Odom has reportedly been making progress over the last several days, and he is apparently able to communicate enough that he was able to swear off drugs.
TMZ reports that Odom acknowledged to Khloe Kardashian over the weekend that he understands he could have lost his life with his recent drug overdose. He reportedly promised Kardashian that he is “done with drugs,” which is when she made the decision to have her lawyer request that the couple’s divorce papers be thrown out.
Kardashian has called off her relationship with another NBA star and is said to be committed to reconciling with Odom. As our friend attorney Andrew Botros has informed us, that could wind up being a costly process.
We’re glad to hear that Odom is able to communicate enough to decide to reconcile with Khloe and swear off drug use, but there are still plenty of concerns going forward. For starters, some of the alleged behavior Odom exhibited at the Love Ranch would seemingly indicate that he has a serious drug problem. That isn’t going to be cured overnight, and he will likely need a lot of help with addiction in addition to undergoing physical and speech rehab. There is also some concern that he could need to undergo another major medical procedure.
Whether it’s by the side of Khloe or someone else, we hope Odom is finally able to get the help he desperately needs.
