Lindsay Lohan Tweets About Her Failed Drug Test

Actress Lindsay Lohan, a West Hollywood resident, confirmed on Friday night via Twitter that she failed a court-ordered drug test. Under the terms of Lohan's probation, she could be sent back to jail for 30 days for failing a drug test. 

TMZ.com first broke the story Friday afternoon and reported the 24-year-old actress had tested positive for cocaine. Below are Lohan's  Twitter posts about overcoming substance abuse and the possibility of appearing in court in the near future. 

"Regrettably, I did in fact fail my most recent drug test and if I am asked, I am prepared to appear before judge Fox next week as a result. Substance abuse is a disease, which unfortunately doesn't go away overnight. I am working hard to overcome it and am taking positive steps forward every day. I am testing every single day and doing what I must do to prevent any mishaps in the future," Lohan said on Twitter. 

"This was certainly a setback for me but I am taking responsibility for my actions and I'm prepared to face the consequences. I am so thankful for the support of my fans, loved ones and immediate family, who understand that I am trying hard, but also that I am a work in progress, just as anyone else. I am keeping my faith, and I am hopeful....Thank you all!!!"

According to wire reports, Jane Robison, a spokeswoman for the Los Angeles County District Attorney's Office, said prosecutors had not been ''officially notified'' about an alleged failed test. A court date for Lohan to appear before Judge Elden Fox  has not been announced.
