Lamar Odom, NBA star and ex-husband of Khloe Kardashian, didn’t hold anything back in his new memoir, Darkness to Light. Released on Tuesday, May 28, Lamar took a deep and personal dive into his career, his childhood, and his infamous romance with Khloe. Speaking with HollywoodLife exclusively after the release, Lamar shared how ‘therapeutic’ it was to put his struggles down on paper and how the experience helped him reflect on his addictions to drug, alcohol, and sex. The NBA alum was not shy about the steps he’s taken to improve his life, for himself and his children. “That old adage just trying to fight every day,” he shared. “Just trying to live sober and find that happy place.” Scroll through to see highlights from our entire interview with Lamar
