The former Atomic Kitten singer turned to drink in order to feel "numb" because she was so miserable with third husband George, who she has claimed was a "really controlling" man.
She said: "Five years ago, I was so unhappy that I drank three bottles of Prosecco a day.
"I was in a really controlling relationship and wasn't allowed to do anything so I'd drink to feel numb.
"Nowadays two glasses tends to be my limit.
"I'm not a big drinker anymore, even though everyone saw me downing a glass of bubbly on 'Celebs Go Dating'."
The 38-year-old star - who has Molly, 17, and Lilly-Sue, 16, with first husband Brian McFadden, Heidi, 12, and Max, 11, with second spouse Mark Croft and four-year-old Dylan-Jorge with George - has learned she doesn't need drink or drugs in her life anymore as she's already "crazy", and she hates feeling hungover with her kids around.
She told Celebrity Secrets Magazine: "It took me a long time to realise that I don't need to have a drink or take cocaine. I'm crazy enough as it is.
"I'd hate to have a hangover now and I certainly don't want to sleep the day away when I've got a family to look after."
And Kerry feels much happier with the choices she's made in her life now and is proud of her sobriety.
She said: "I love the fact I've been clean for a decade and every day I wake up happy that I'm not longer ruled by bad relationships and bad lifestyle choices."
