Khloe Kardashian’s ex-husband Lamar Odom has revealed that he had sex with over 2000 women and this led him to drugs. The NBA star revealed this four years after he was found unconscious over a drug overdose at a brothel in Nevada. In his new memoir, ‘Darkness to Light’ exclusively excerpted in PEOPLE, the NBA champion writes, “I have been obsessed with sex for as long as I can remember. I am a sex addict,” writes Odom, who was married to Khloé Kardashian for four years before they split in 2013. He continued by adding that: “There were too many strippers to count,” he writes. “It wasn’t a big deal, but often I would pay them. I never thought less of them.” Recalling his marriage to Khloe Kardashian, the star shared that he cheated her throughout their marriage; she eventually discovered the infidelities. 
He shared with PEOPLE that he was shocked and embarrassed, he said: “I wanted to take it back, but you can’t. I wanted to hide it. But that sick sin was hard for me to hide … I had a problem.” He continues: “[I] ran out of porn to watch! That’s how you know when you are going a little overboard. Sex was a trigger for me to do drugs,” he tells PEOPLE. “Because you double up on [that] good feeling.” Odom’s addictions led him to the Love Ranch brothel in Las Vegas in 2015, where he overdosed and nearly died. 
Recalling that event he said: “That was the wake-up call,” says Odom. “Like, this can’t happen again.” Odom who is now drug-free admitted that he’s still an addict but won’t go back into the darkness. He said: “I’m still an addict,” he writes in his book. “I still struggle … [But] I will not go into the darkness. Ever again.”
