At 84, Anthony Hopkins is still acting in films and surprising fans with energetic dance moves. But his peaceful older years didn’t come easily—he has battled alcohol addiction for nearly half his life.
Just before the new year, Hopkins shared a personal message on his blog, where he talked about the importance of taking responsibility for your life.
This mindset is what saved him when his addiction seemed like it would win.
In his message to fans, Hopkins proudly shared that he has now been sober for 47 years!
However, the actor also recalled that at his lowest point, alcohol had completely taken over his life, and he even feared that the end was near.
“I am an alcoholic, and I know many of you are going through the same struggle right now. I want to tell you, be kind to yourself and be proud of yourself. I understand what you’re facing. 47 years ago, I was in complete despair, until I admitted that something was seriously wrong with me. I realized that my physical and mental pain was due to alcoholism,” the actor confessed.
In his motivational post, Hopkins encouraged others dealing with addiction to value themselves and never give up.
