Tatum O'Neal is grateful she got arrested on drug charge!
You just never know when an angel is gonna intercede in your life.
In Tatum O'Neal's life this weekend, something -- a routine drug sweep by police in her Lower East Side NY hood -- saved her life. And she knows it.
"I'm still sober," the actress, 44, told the New York Post shortly after her release Monday. "Just when I was about to wreck my life, the cops came and saved me! I was saved by the bell, by the guys in the Seventh Precinct."
She said she has been attending 12-step meetings in recent months. She will be due in court July 28 to face a misdemeanor charge of possession of a controlled substance, that being crack cocaine.

I always loved Tatum Oneal, I think she was very honest about herself. She is telling the truth, and I hope she seeks help from good and helpful people. She is very amart and shoull use her knowledge to reason for her healthfulhabits. I wish her luck and she must try hard to be better. She can do it.
I agree with Rajah. I hope she gets useful help and recovers from the turmoil that brought her to try to buy cocaine. She's a good actress and a good person.
It's sad addicts have no where to turn except 12 step meetings which. AA and NA are religious cults who require the addicts to turn their lives over to God (yes the twelve steps say the word God) They stand in a circle holding hands and say the lords prayer but deny they are a religious cult. Real doctors and scientists need to do real research. AA and NA have very low success rates, 15% retention after one year, yet addicts have no where else to turn. Even though the Supreme Court has ruled that judges can't force offenders to attend AA because of separation of church and state, the sentences are handed down daily. It's time some money was spent to research a non-religious approach to a medical problem
