Hollywood star Drew Barrymore’s journey to sobriety has been widely covered by the media, but it’s a topic the actress herself rarely talks about. He recently reflected on his sobriety journey and called it one of the “most liberating things” he’s done in life. She talks about self-care and the importance of “putting health first” and shares advice with those struggling with addiction.
Barrymore first shared that she had been sober for over two years in December 2021 after her divorce from Will Kopelman. He later revealed that he had spent time in a Utah treatment facility to help him turn his life around. His battle with addiction was difficult because it spanned decades, from drinking as a child star to his mother forcing him into a psychiatric facility.
Barrymore is now sober and rising to the top of the media industry. He hosts his TV show, “The Drew Barrymore Show,” and a podcast called “Drew’s News.” His show is currently in its third season and is one of the most popular talk shows at the moment. It has featured guests such as Martha Stewart, Serena Williams and Ina Garten.
