And I was having such fun. But then I saw I was in big, big trouble because I couldn\u2019t remember anything and I was driving a car drunk out of my skull.<\/p>\n<p>\n\u201cThen on that fatal day, I knew I needed help. So I got it. I phoned up a group of people like me \u2014 alcoholic. And that was it. Sober. I\u2019ve had more fun these 49 years than ever.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>\nHe went on to remind fans who may be struggling that they are not alone and to encourage them to seek help.<\/p>\n<p>\nHe said: &#8220;If you do have a problem \u2014 having fun is wonderful, having a drink is fine \u2014 but if you are having a problem with the booze, there is help. It\u2019s not a terrible deal \u2014 it\u2019s a condition if you\u2019re allergic to alcohol. Get some help. There\u2019s plenty of help around.<\/p>\n<p>\n&#8220;One thing I didn\u2019t know, I was not unique. There are thousands of people around like me. Anyway, I got sober and, it sounds a dull word, but I\u2019ve had a wonderful life. They still employ me, they still give me jobs.<\/p>\n<p>\n&#8220;\u201cI\u2019m going to be 87 in two day\u2019s time. So I\u2019m celebrating my long life \u2014 unexpectedly long life. So if you have a problem, you know where to go. Phone any intergroup, 12-step program, whatever you could do. Because it is a killer. With that, Happy New Year!&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><!-- Pagination --><\/p>\n<p><!-- playbuzz --><br \/>\n<!-- end playbuzz--><\/p>\n<p><!-- \n\n<div data-cn-project=\"femalefirst\">\n    \n<\/div>\n\n --><\/p>\n<p><!-- Outbrain { date: 2018\/06\/08 } --><br \/>\n<!-- Outbrain { date: 2018\/06\/08 } --><\/p>\n<p>    <!-- Outbrain { date: 2018\/06\/08 } --><br \/>\n    <!-- Outbrain { date: 2018\/06\/08 } --><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.femalefirst.co.uk\/celebrity\/anthony-hopkins-celebrating-49-years-sobriety-1411367.html?f=rss\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>30 December 2024 Anthony Hopkins is celebrating 49 years of sobriety.
