AceShowbiz - Wendy Williams has vowed to ditch alcohol if she gets out of the guardianship she was placed under in 2022. The former host of "The Wendy Williams Show" has been open about her struggles with alcohol and drug use over the years. She candidly admitted on her show in 2019 that she was living in a "sober house," revealing her journey towards recovery.

Now amid her ongoing uphill battle to regain her independence, Williams promises to stay away from booze permanently.

In a recent conversation with Rosanna Scotto on "Good Day New York," Williams was asked if she would consider having a "sober companion" if her guardianship were lifted. Her response was resolute, "As far as a sober companion, I don't need that."

She declared, "I am not drinking ever in my life," emphasizing her commitment to maintaining her sobriety.

She dished on her plans post-guardianship with optimism, revealing that she wishes to stay in New York and possibly return to work, stating she has "options" for her next career move.

Despite these past challenges, Williams has shown remarkable progress. A determined Williams has not only been sober in recent months but also passed cognitive tests "with flying colors."

Concerns about Williams' mental health have been circulating since she ended her talk show in 2022. These concerns were further amplified when TMZ reported that Williams had been moved to the memory unit of her assisted living facility due to an incident involving alcohol consumption.

However, Williams is confident and asserts that she is not cognitively impaired, citing her recent test results as evidence of her mental fitness.

For Williams, nothing is more critical right now than regaining control of her life. "In terms of getting out of [the] guardianship - that is my no. 1 most important thing," Williams emphasized, hopeful that her successful cognitive assessments will pave the way for ending the guardianship and reclaiming her autonomy.
