Nicole Richie blames her past drug addictions on having a happy childhood.The star - who has previously claimed to have gone through hell growing up - now says it was being spoilt by her adoptive dad Lionel Richie that pushed her over the edge.She revealed: "I had a pretty fun childhood, but I just wanted to feel nothing."It wasn't that it was horrible and I wanted to feel better. I just didn't want to feel anything.""Doing drugs kind of made me just forget and not feel anything, for a second. I think it's a combination of things. Partly just me wanting to be older - it's what the older kids were doing at the time.But the 'Simple Life' star doesn't think being brought up in Hollywood is an excuse for her experimenting with narcotics in her teens.Nicole confessed to Tatler magazine: "I could easily say yes it was, but people also have drug problems in Kansas."So I don't know whether, if I had lived somewhere else, it would have been a problem. I'd say it probably would have been, not matter where I grew up."
