But after her pregnancy with Lola, she put some of the weight back on. At the same time, she became addicted to alcohol. Asked how she knew she was an alcoholic, she quipped, “It was pretty obvious: falling down — that’s kind of an indication.”

She’s been sober two years now, and, she said, has forged a kind of peace with her fluctuating weight and her self-image.

Carnie seems to have inherited some of Brian's addictive personality.

She's also sexually addicted to chocolate, I read somewhere.

Most women are.

Screwed up childhood - check
Eating disorder - check
'Alcoholism' - check.

Just needs drug addiction and parental abuse and she's got a full house in the media victim stakes.

BTW, the math doesn't add up - Lola was born 4/22/05, which means according to the report, Carnie gave up the hooch on early November 2005. One does not become an alcoholic in seven months - alcohol dependent maybe, but not an alcoholic. I have considerable experience in this area.
