When Lamar Odom was clinging to life after overdosing on drugs and alcohol in a Nevada brothel and then spent so many months unable to speak or talk, Khloe Kardashian held on to the hope that, if Odom recovered, at least he would be clean and would have learned his lesson about over-indulgence. The KUWTK season was focused on Khloe putting her life on hold to take care of Odom and even find him a place to live after leaving the hospital. Even before Lamar Odom was caught getting loaded on Easter at a bar with friends, the Kardashian family took him back in, including him in every activity.
According to The Inquisitr, the Kardashians did get a boost from the Lamar Odom tragedy by featuring it on the show. While Odom was recovering in the hospital, it was months before Lamar Odom found out whether or not he would be prosecuted for his illicit drug use in Nevada. Then there were the expenses incurred getting Lamar Odom out of Nevada, and back to California.

Khloe Kardashian has got to be thinking “fool me once, shame on you, fool me twice, shame on me.” Lamar Odom cheated on Kardashian during their marriage while they were living together, had his overdose after years of heavy partying while they were still legally married (Odom and Kardashian are still legally married), and now, while still in intensive therapy, Lamar Odom was caught boozing it up with friends before spending Easter at church with the Kardashian family. It seems that, once again, Lamar Odom is a slow learner, and he has made Khloe Kardashian feel like an idiot.
The Daily Mail reported that Lamar Odom was throwing back multiple mixed drinks at Johnny O’Brien’s Irish bar in Sherman Oaks, California, with friends who can’t really be Odom’s friends, as they have to know that getting drunk will only hurt his recovery. Sadly, Odom was also able to drink that many drinks (brandy and mixed drinks) in less than two hours.
This drinking was also done in the early hours on Sunday before Lamar Odom was invited to spend Easter with the rest of the Kardashians. Others close to Odom say he doesn’t believe he is an alcoholic, and he thinks he can “drink whenever he wants” and that his drinking is casual. Many think Odom is once again heading down the dark road he was on before he overdosed at the brothel, on the heels of his closest friends dying of heroin use.

Hollywood Life is saying that Khloe Kardashian is once again “ numb from pain ” after finding out that Lamar Odom disrespected her enough to go boozing before a family Easter, especially considering that Kardashian is still paying Odom’s way. Photos of Odom drinking at a bar early in the hours of Easter have Kardashian mortified once again. Kardashian is also upset that, once again, she seems to be the last to know that he is back to partying after all Odom put Khloe and her family through in the last year.
While most people would assume that Lamar Odom would be forever grateful for all that Kardashian has done for him, he is once again acting like an addict, putting himself and what he wants first. Lamar Odom no longer has the ability to play basketball professionally, and he is not painting a responsible portrait of himself to do anything else ever again for a living. The only thing supporting Lamar Odom right now is Khloe Kardashian and family, and he continues to spit in their faces.

Kardashian reportedly sees this as Odom “falling off the wagon” once again, and she is heartbroken. Sources close to Kardashian are shaking their heads in disbelief that Odom would do this once again to Khloe.
“Like WTF? He’s drinking hours before Easter service and has the nerve to wear the same clothes. At this point, Khloe’s completely at a loss .”

Kardashian is thinking that this is the wake-up she needs to finally leave Lamar Odom behind, and let him take care of himself, as she seems to be more concerned for Odom’s well-being than he or his “friends” are.
“For Khloe’s own sanity and mental strength, she has to disengage from Lamar completely.”
Lamar Odom’s behavior is considered disrespectful, especially before he was to spend Easter included with the Kardashian family.
Do you think Lamar Odom is an alcoholic, or is he just selfish and immature? Do you think Odom is likely to end up back in the same position he was in at the Nevada brothel?
