Famous actor speaks about his s. addiction

I found myself in many things that this famous actor said about his s. addiction, not everything but wow

It is sort of comforting having a reminder from time to time that we are not alone in struggling with p. and s. addiction and these are much more spread issues that we realize sometimes

i am going to reach 4 years of sobriety from p and s addiction in a few months but it is important when people talk publicly about these issues

 

yes he was the first famous person that I found speaking about these addictions. So much respect for this man, truly. truly enlightening and comforting

i wanted to buy the book he wrote about what he went through

 

some addicts are not good people but we are all different. I think every human has good and bad within themselves but they choose their own path

 

it is important not to dwell on this too much though but focus on everyday progress and goals

to move on and allow ourselves to flourish and be the best we can be

otherwise there is risk to stay stuck in what you did wrong and wish so much you could have changed
and that can be truly demoralizing at times

personally I followed the 12 steps in recovery. you can really feel by hearing famous people talking about alcoholism,
s. addiction, p. addiction how all addictions share common grounds and are very similar among each other
and that sobriety is achievable
