'Five months ago, I came to the realization that I am an alcoholic, and I am now a friend of Bill W.,' Kent said. 'You will never know how much this program means to me. It has given me new life.'

Bill Wilson is the co-founder of the Alcoholics Anonymous 12-Step program. 

'I always say, if you don't have to be sober, I wouldn't recommend it. But ... as someone who does need to be sober, being in my right frame of mind every single day is truly incredible,' she added.

Lala credited the program with helping her work through emotions surrounding the death of her father. 

'I'm thinking a lot about my dad today, not different than any other day,' she said while choking back tears. 'The program has allowed me to sit down and remember my dad in a clear frame of mind and remember what he brought to my life ... what he meant to me, what he taught me.'

She regularly discusses her father and his impact on her life on episodes of the Bravo show, saying during the season 7 premiere that  he 'had a stroke and got into an accident' in April.  

'I'm really grateful that I had him as my dad,' she said. 'You couldn't pick a better human being. And the day that he passed, the world truly lost an epic human being.'

She's likely also finding the support she needs from her new fiance, producer Randall Emmett.

'It was definitely the most romantic moment of my life. Every detail of the surprise was stunning and I’m still in shock,' Kent told People in September after his proposal in Cabo San Lucas, Mexico.
