The Too Little, Too Late hitmaker, 33 — born Joanna Levesque — detailed how many of her childhood years were spent at Alcoholics Anonymous meetings, with her mom Diana and late father Joel, in her new memoir Over the Influence. And though JoJo — who recently recalled how she became a sex addict hooked on drugs and booze — believed she'd avoid the same addiction struggles, she ultimately experienced similar issues. 'For a while, I was super self-righteous and thought I'd never be like my parents.

I was like, "No, because I'm the strongest. I'm wicked strong,'" she told People on Tuesday. 'But then I was like, "Oh, what I'm doing is no better or worse.
