Over the past months, Wendy has received more and more grief over her erratic behavior of slurring her words, forgetting details and confusing celebrity identities.

Everyday new details came out: her husband had a mistress, her mother-in-law alleged Wendy was suffering domestic violence at the hands of Kevin, Wendy’s husband. In fact, many were convinced Wendy’s hairline fracture that she suffered was because of Kevin.

No one wanted to think that Wendy had returned to the drugs, especially when she adamantly explained that that chapter of her life was in the past, after Whitney Houston’s passing.

Wendy Williamshas been quietly focusing on her sobriety, she revealed on-air Tuesday.

“I have been living in a sober house. … You know I’ve had a struggle with cocaine in the past,” she said on The Wendy Williams Show. “I never went to a place to get treatment … there are people in your family, it might be you … I want you to know more of the story.”

She added that her husband Kevin Hunter was the only person who knew of her stay.

“Only Kevin knows about this. Not my parents, nobody. Nobody knew because I look so glamorous out here,” she said. “I am driven by my 24-hour sober coach back to a home that I live in the tri-state with a bunch of smelly boys who have become my family.”

At the faciltiy, it’s “doors locked by 10 p.m. lights out by 10 p.m., so I go to my room and stare at the ceiling and fall asleep to come here and see you,” she continued. “So that is my truth.”

Williams, 54, had been absent from her eponymous daytime talk program from January until March 4, attributing the hiatus to a fractured shoulder and her battle with a Grave’s disease, an autoimmune disease that affects the thyroid.

The daytime diva’s Hunter Foundation recently partnered with T.R.U.S.T., an organization dedicated to building a bridge from treatment to long-term recovery, to launch a national resource hotline.She has always been open about her drug use, telling PEOPLE that she was addicted to cocaine for about a decade early on in her career. (She made a name for herself on New York and Philadelphia radio, paving the way for TV stardom when The Wendy Williams Show premiered in 2008.

Drugs were a demon I had to overcome,” she explained in 2014.

Together with her family, she created The Hunter Foundation, which works with private and public organizations to help families combat the cycle of addiction.

“I was a functioning addict,this link opens in a new tab” she told Entertainment Tonight in July 2018. “I report to work on time, and I’d walk in and all my co-workers, including my bosses, would know but since I would have my headphones on and walk in the studio and [they] wouldn’t fire me because I was making ratings.”

“A functioning addict has several alarm clocks, you’re organized,” she added. “It’s a miracle I was able to stop.”

We wish Wendy well as she is recovering.
