Michael Douglas has been hiding a shocking relapse secret! The “Wall Street” star — who checked into rehab in 1992 to be treated for alcohol and cocaine addiction — has confessed he hasn’t stayed clean and sober! “Not really,” Michael recently admitted. “Everything is a question of moderations.” His rehab stint was a desperate bid to save his first marriage after then-wife, Diandra Luker, caught him in bed with another woman.

But the cancer-surviving star’s shocking disclosure comes after a string of drug-related tragedies hit his family. Read on for details of Michael’s struggle, and click here for more news of celebrity rehab….
