O'Brien, formerly of Entertainment Tonight, The Insider and Access Hollywood, was MCing a fundraiser for Friendly House in Beverly Hills Saturday.  Friendly House helps women recover from drug and alcohol addiction.

"Lindsay is a smart girl," O'Brien tells RadarOnline.com "She has to want to be sober. She'd better start taking this serious before it's too late."

O'Brien knows all to well about alcohol and drug addiction as he's battled the disease for years.

In 2005, O'Brien left a string of sexually graphic voicemail messages to a woman he'd just met, suggesting they do cocaine together and have a three-way with his girlfriend. The tapes were a radio and TV sensation. O'Brien entered rehab for the first time soon after.

"Those were difficult times," O'Brien says. "I learned from them and I'm sober. I got through it and I feel better than I have in a long time."

As for his pal Lohan, she's currently rehabbing at the famed Betty Ford Center and will most likely remain there until at least her scheduled  Oct. 22 court appearance.

"My heart goes out to her," O'Brien says. "I only hope she will come to terms with her illness and fight for her life."

Also, I assume you are in your 50s. 30 years older than Lindsay. How much older were you then her when you finally cleaned up, supposedly for good?

Lindsay can't hear you where she is at, Pat, so obviously you are only using her to draw attention to yourself

My god, no wonder this girl has issues. Everyone is always trying to ride her coattails. Can't they all just leave her be to deal with her issues in peace?

Yea, Pat O'Brien should probably focus on staying sober himself rather than inject himself into a woman's life he doesn't even know. He is a mess and needs every bit of energy he has to stay sober himself without worrying about someone else.
