Pixabay A "Real Housewives" star has relapsed amid her sobriety journey.
Former full-time “Real Housewives” star Katie Rost revealed that she has relapsed after going to rehab. Rost, who appeared as a full-time star on season 1 of the Potomac franchise and has appeared on and off in various roles since, previously revealed that she was entering a rehab facility to help her with an addition to “alcohol and Adderall.”
She has since completed the program and appeared to be on the right track before having a setback.
“I relapsed, I had decided to abstain from drugs, white claw and Adderall, and sex , tonight I failed in one of those. I did what I should went immediately to a meeting. But yup, starting over: day 1 #recovery,” Rost tweeted on February 8, 2023.

In November 2022, Rost shared an update on her sobriety journey as she had entered a 30-day in-patient facility.
“Full disclaimer: I have never been a huge fan of hospitals. They scare me,” she captioned an Instagram post. She went on to say that the hospital that she was at was “so clean” and that the staff was “attentive and kind.”
