'I am done with them': Khloe Kardashian called off divorce with Lamar Odom after he promised to 'never take drugs again' following life-threatening binge

Khloe Kardashian has called off divorce proceedings with Lamar Odom, and it has now been reported that her change of heart was down to him promising to never take drugs again.

According to TMZ, the former NBA star - who was hospitalised last week after a four-day drugs binge at a brothel in Nevada - has convinced his estranged wife that the experience has changed him indefinitely.

Sources told the site that he said to Khloe, who has been by his bedside throughout the ordeal: 'I am done with drugs.'

He is also believed to have expressed his gratitude, thanking her 'profusely' for flying out to be with him and nurse him back to health after he fell into a life-threatening coma.

Khloe's lawyer, Laura Wasser, appeared before a Los Angeles judge on Wednesday to withdraw the papers, a request which was approved.

She had initially filed for divorce in December 2013 after four years of marriage, citing irreconcilable differences.

And, although the couple went through divorce proceedings in July this year, the papers were not yet officially signed off due to a backlog of papers in the city of Los Angeles, meaning the divorce wasn't finalised.
