british actor Anthony Hopkins He wanted to celebrate with all his Instagram followers that he has been sober for 47 years and has taken the opportunity to send a message of encouragement to those who fight against this problem.
With a video in which he also wanted to congratulate the New Year, Hopkins has confessed that 47 years ago he was in a “desperate situation” until he realized that something was wrong with him and recognized that he was an alcoholic. An addiction that he, he says, could have cost him his life.
“I’m not an expert on drugs. I’m not an expert on anything. I don’t know anything, except that I’ve found a life where no one intimidates me,” the Oscar-winning actor says in the video. Thus, he has some words of encouragement for those who may find themselves in a situation similar to the one he experienced: “I am a recovering alcoholic. (…) I know that there are people who struggle in this time of cancellation, hate and lack of commitment, with children who are harassed. And I answer them: be kind to yourselves. Be kind. Stay out of the circle of toxicity with people if they offend you. Live your life. Be proud of your life.”
The 85-year-old actor says that with his message he tries to be useful to those people who are struggling with that addiction, as he did decades ago. He has also encouraged anyone who is struggling with this problem to talk to someone they respect and love to help them overcome it.
