She did say alcoholism. But it's the hang-up on saying alcoholic that is tripping up a few of the people that want to see her succeed.

Watching Karen's interview through the lens of my husband (who's a psychotherapist who's been treating people with substance abuse for nearly 20 years), he thought it made sense that she focused on the pills and how NA helps more for her versus AA. From what I gather, she's been using/abusing prescription pills for years. While I can't speak to the remarks about her getting wasted every day at a bar, but I do know that if you're overmedicating yourself and adding alcohol into the mix, the speed at which you become sloppy drunk escalates dramatically.

Anyways, I'm going to hope for the best for Karen and I like that she is facing her demons and getting to the root of her issues (the sexual assault at age 19 certainly played a monumental factor in numbing her feels and refusing to cope/resolve her personal damage in a healthy manner). I don't think she is perfect and I'm sure there are things she's still keeping close to the vest (like her marital issues, which is fine by me if she wants to keep that private).

On a scale of accountability, I'd put Karen closer to The Countess versus Shannon Storms Beador...

I appreciate this perspective, thanks for sharing! :)

Basically its RHUGT S4 minus Dorinda and Kristen with Jill added

That's pretty funny. The Golden Life in Palm Beach.

Just please no mentions of the Orange Thing that currently occupies the White House.

I wonder if Ramona is just being Ramona (i.e. forgetful) or if there will actually be 6 castmembers.

Or, it's like Season Three of RHONY without Bethenny and Alex.
