Anthony Hopkins is celebrating 47 years of sobriety. On Thursday, December 30, the two-time Oscar winner shared an inspiring message on instagram about the power of self-love to mark the occasion in the midst of the New Year festivities.
“I just want to wish everyone a happy New Year and also say that today I’m celebrating 47 years of sobrietybegan Hopkins, from 84 years. “This is a message that is not meant to be heavy, but I hope it is useful. I am a recovering alcoholic. And for you, I know that there are people who fight.
Anthony Hopkins, in addition to being a good actor, loves to dance and he showed it to the rhythm of ‘Llorarás’ by Óscar D’León
“In this era of cancellation, hate and lack of commitment, kids are bullied i say [esto]: be kind to yourself”, he continued. “Be nice. Stay out of the circle of toxicity with people, if they offend you. Live your life. Be proud of your life.”
Hopkins went on to recall the “dire straits” he personally experienced nearly five decades ago, before he got sober, when he “probably didn’t have very long to live.”

“I just had to recognize one day that there was something really wrong with me”said the actor. “I didn’t realize he was a kind of mental, physical, emotional condition called alcoholism or addiction. And I’m not an expert on drugs, I’m not an expert on anything. I know nothing. Except I’ve found a life where I’m not intimidated by anyone.”
“I want to say to all the young people out there who are being bullied, pay attention, be proud of yourselves,” Hopkins continued. “Don’t listen to them. Don’t let yourself be underestimated. Depression is part of being alive, sometimes [al igual que] the anxiety. Life is hard”.
“But if you need help with an addiction or problem, talk to someone. Talk to someone you respect, whether it’s a counselor or about going to a 12-step program,” she advised. “There are 12-step programs all over the world, in every city… 12-step programs that can help you identify who you are. It costs nothing, but it will give you a whole new life.”

“So wherever you are, seek help. Don’t be ashamed,” encouraged the star of The Two Popes. “Be proud of yourselves, whatever you do. Don’t let anyone look down on you. If you’re going to get mad, get mad at them… Celebrate yourselves”.
