Famed American actress and producer, Jamie Lee Curtis, recently appeared on the Morning Joe show for an interview.
During this conversation, the well-known figure openly discussed her struggle with opioid addiction, which she successfully conquered 24 years ago.
Within the interview, she disclosed the journey to her sobriety, acknowledging that the depths of her ordeal remained relatively concealed from those around her.
Mrs. Curtis expressed that her battle with this addiction inflicted significant suffering upon her, but she fortunately managed to surmount this exceedingly distressing chapter of her life.
“I’ve been extraordinarily fortunate not to have made life-altering decisions under the influence of alcohol or drugs that I would regret for the rest of my life,” she reflected.
The actress elucidated that individuals, both men and women, are drawn into such specific inclinations not because they are inherently bad, but due to the influence of these distressing disorders.
Sobriety has rejuvenated the life of this Oscar-winning actress, providing a fresh perspective and new horizons.
She also noted that if certain psychoactive drugs were as accessible as they are today, she might not have survived.
Her struggle with addiction extended until 1999, but fortunately, her journey toward sobriety secured her a lasting recovery.
In addition, she underscored that she succeeded in breaking the cycle of destructive habits within her family, as both her father and brother grappled with similar debilitating vices.
“Sobriety stands as my most significant achievement, surpassing all others in my life,” Curtis emphasized.
