Pink's secret rehab sessions

Singer checked into Canyon Ranch because she worried her drinking was out of control

Pink split with her Motocross champ husband Carey Hart earlier this year

Pink has revealed that she booked herself into an addiction clinic in the summer because she feared she was addicted to booze.

The singer – real name Alecia Moore – was concerned that she struggled to have fun without drinking when she went out.

‘A few months ago I went to see a specialist because I thought I was an alcoholic,’ she says.

‘I have a problem with my vices. I've kicked the drugs, but every now and then I have to go out and get completely wasted on alcohol.

‘I'm such a control freak it's very hard for me to lose my inhibitions without something chemical inside me. How do you really have fun if there isn't a little drink in you? I don't actually know.’

But Pink, 29, who split from husband Carey Hart, 33, earlier this year, says doctors quickly dispelled her concerns.

‘I checked into Canyon Ranch in Tucson, Arizona, in the summer and I went to see a therapist, telling him I was an alcoholic,’ she tells Live.

‘He asked me when I'd had my last drink and I couldn't remember - it had been a few weeks previously.

'I then read the Alcoholics Anonymous manual cover to cover and we talked. I realised I wasn't an alcoholic, just someone who likes to get drunk every now and again.’
