Lamar Odom has been fairly quiet about nearly dying in a Nevada brothel more than a year ago, until now.

The former basketball and reality TV star had a candid interview with Us Magazine where he refers to himself as a "walking miracle," and acknowledges his failed marriage with Khloe Kardashian is "all his fault."

Odom has turned into an open book, admitting to rampant cocaine use and infidelity, which ultimately ruined his marriage and almost killed him.

Odom tells Us Magazine he suffered 12 strokes and two heart attacks that left him comatose, paralyzed and unable to talk.

Although Khloe eventually filed for divorce, Odom credits her with helping him retain his memory and supporting him through his recovery.

And now that he's completed rehab and is living sober, he credits his kids with his determination to stay clean and alive.

Odom tells Us Magazine he had "no choice but to become stronger," and hopes to include his full story in an autobiography he’s currently working on.
