“My brother taught me how to take cocaine,” Whoopi Goldberg reveals details of her past cocaine addiction in her new memoir. “It’s really affecting me now.”

I had stayed pretty far away from drugs, except for pot, after getting cleaned up in the early ’70s,” Goldberg wrote in her new memoir “Bits and Pieces: My Mother, My Brother, and Me,,ABC asserts that the decision is final, and no one within this realm can plead for contract renewal. We’ve declined it, and the matter is concluded”I had stayed pretty far away from drugs, except for pot, after getting cleaned up in the early ’70s,” Goldberg wrote in her new memoir “Bits and Pieces: My Mother, My Brother, and Me,” released Tuesday. “But Los Angeles and New York started to redefine what ‘recreational drug use’ meant in the ’80s.”

The Oscar-winning actor said that cocaine was readily available and normalized at parties that she often attended. She said that the atmosphere was relaxed because cops wouldn’t raid the homes of Hollywood stars. Goldberg said she underestimated the effects of cocaine and thought she could handle it because it didn’t seem dangerous.”It was a really good time for about a year,” she wrote. “Then I fell into the deep well of cocaine and sank to a new low. Nobody around me caught on to where I was at with it. At least, that’s what I wanted to believe. I would have called myself ‘a very high-functioning addict.’”
