Tara Reid has revealed that she is "clean, sober and excited" following her 60-day stint in rehab.

The American Pie star voluntarily checked into Malibu's Promises Treatment Centre in December seeking help for an undisclosed problem.

Speaking to In Touch, she said: "Rehab saved my life. Before, I used to think about tomorrow and I hated it. Now, I can't wait because I am clean and sober and I am excited.

"I wanted a future, and that wasn't going to happen with what I was doing before."

The actress confessed that she was prompted to seek help after visiting Israel's Western Wall and praying for health and happiness.

"Something changed inside me. I realised partying is not what I am anymore," she said.

However, she dismissed reports that she had been treated for a narcotics addiction, saying: "I never had a problem with drugs. When I go back to when my life went wrong, it all came back to alcohol.

"I wasn't myself completely and I wasn't happy. I numbed my feelings. It was no life to live.

"Do you know how grateful I will be if I start acting again? It'll mean so much to me. I'll give it everything I have. I can't wait."
