Kitty Dukakis, wife of 1988 Democratic presidential candidate Gov. Michael Dukakis, says she drank hair spray, after-shave and other household products to induce "oblivion" and fight depression before seeking help.

The Massachusetts first lady wrote in her new book that she ingested mouthwash, after-shave, vanilla extract, nail-polish remover and Tylenol laced with codeine before entering an Alabama clinic in April to combat her substance-abuse problem, the Boston Sunday Globe reported Sunday."The last thing I swallowed was hair spray," Dukakis wrote in her book "Now You Know," to be released this week.

Dukakis, 53, was also hospitalized last November after drinking rubbing alcohol.
