Tonya Harding is led out of Camas Washougal Municipal Court in Washougal, Wash, after appearing Thursday.
CAMAS, Wash.  Tonya Harding was sentenced to 10 days in jail Thursday for drinking alcohol while on probation.
In court, the former Olympic figure skater said her arrest for drunken driving forced her to re-examine her life and was the best thing that could have happened to her.
I'm grateful to the judge for giving me this opportunity; I finally found out what my problem is: It's alcohol, Harding said after the brief hearing.
I'm glad it happened so no one gets hurt, I don't get hurt and I'm making something right in my life for a change.
The judge took no action on the matter. It's unclear if the detention center in Vancouver, Wash., is equipped to shield celebrities from other prisoners.
In April, Harding was behind the wheel of her truck when it veered off the road and crashed into a ditch. Harding failed a field sobriety test and her blood-alcohol level was measured at 0.16  twice the legal limit in Washington.
She acknowledged violating that condition when she pleaded guilty Monday to drunken driving and was ordered to enter a treatment program for alcoholics.
I hope you're sincere and things work out better for you, the judge said.
After the hearing, Camas Assistant City Attorney Shawn MacPherson said he was satisfied that justice was done.
She's gone 10 days, not 10 months, he said.
