The great thing about being in the sober house is that the house that I live in, the people that I live with, they are all guys. Not by design, it just so happens. But they are guys,&#8221; she shared with the audience while wearing her wedding ring. &#8220;And we are people with functioning careers who just want to check ourselves and get down with that 12 step. You know what I&#8217;m saying? There is such a stigma to substance abuse.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Wendy continued, &#8220;Everybody thinks it&#8217;s going to be the bum on the corner or whatnot and whatnot\u2026 Sometimes you just need to go someplace and get one with your sobriety and your 12 steps.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Over the weekend, the morning show veteran sparked headlines when she was <a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/p\/Bv3ENqyhOyB\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">spotted shopping<\/a> at a 24-hour Walmart near Ellenville, New York.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n<\/div>\n<div id=\"text-2\" data-hook=\"scrollable-block\" readability=\"57\">\n<section data-textblock-tracking=\"text-block-text-only\" data-swiftype-index=\"false\" readability=\"4\">\n<p>The blogs quickly posted the photo along with some not-so-nice headlines. Ultimately, Wendy clapped back and shed some insight into the photo taken around 4:00 a.m.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n<\/div>\n<div id=\"photo-txt-3\" data-hook=\"scrollable-block\" readability=\"43.5\">\n<section data-textblock-tracking=\"text-block-photo-text\" readability=\"27\">\n<p>&#8220;One of the best things about being truthful to yourself and truthful to you and having your own show is I can come on and dispel my own rumors,&#8221; she began. &#8220;The headline was, &#8216;Poor, lonely Wendy needs a hug.&#8217; Then it said, &#8216;She looks frail, she was by herself.&#8217; By herself?&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>She went on to explain that she was with several girlfriends who have been supporting her health and sobriety. And for those critical of her outfit, Wendy doesn&#8217;t want to hear it.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;You know I have the graves&#8217; disease, where I have pressure by my eyes. Sometimes my eyes go like this. Right? They caught me with an eye pop, also. She was wearing a robe. Yep, a Wendy Show robe,&#8221; she shared. &#8220;It was 4:00 in the morning in Ellenville, New York. What do you want me to wear? A ball gown?&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Wendy added, &#8220;Thank you, blogs. Do I look frail to you? I was just a little disgusted.&#8221;<\/p>\n<\/section>\n<\/div>\n<div id=\"text-4\" data-hook=\"scrollable-block\" readability=\"60.315887850467\">\n<section data-textblock-tracking=\"text-block-text-only\" data-swiftype-index=\"false\" readability=\"11.865420560748\">\n<p>Despite the inaccurate headlines, the proud wife and mother was also able to enjoy a camping trip over her break with a &#8220;great group&#8221; of girls who have been sober for several years. &#8220;I&#8217;m the newbie, I get to make the decision,&#8221; Wendy explained. &#8220;They said, &#8216;You have to do something you&#8217;re not comfortable with. Do you want to jump out of a plane?&#8217; Swim with the sharks?&#8217; And then they said camping.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>So how did it go?
