Drew Barrymore<\/a> thinks \u201cnostalgia\u201d and animals are the \u201cantidote\u201d to depression and the world\u2019s ills.<\/p>\n

Drew Barrymore thinks \u2018nostalgia\u2019 and animals are the \u2018antidote\u2019 to depression and the world\u2019s ills<\/p>\n

The 49-year-old actress became a household name after appearing as a child in \u2018E.T.: The Extra Terrestrial\u2019, and infamously got hooked on drugs and alcohol by the time she was a teen and was sent to a rehabilitation institution to get sober at the age of 13 \u2013 before she finally decided to quit booze for good in 2019 and announced her sobriety in 2021.<\/p>\n

She has now told People about her techniques for staying upbeat: \u201cI always find, whether it\u2019s on (my series \u2018The Drew Barrymore<\/a> Show\u2019) or in a magazine or on social media\u2026 nostalgia, like animals, give this sense of warmth and humour and joy. <\/p>\n

\u201cWe need that in the world, we need that, probably very scientifically, we need that hit of something very positive in our brain as we\u2019re processing the world at large, as well as our own unique little journeys that are always filled with a lot of pressures and a lot of taking care of people, and a lot of trying to navigate everything.<\/p>\n

\u201cI just think animals are the antidote to everything, they just make us feel so good. <\/p>\n

\n\u201cUnlike a lot of things that make us feel good too, they\u2019re not very demanding either. We\u2019re so lucky to have them.\u201d<\/p>\n

\nDrew recently also told People she thinks getting sober was the most \u201chonouring\u201d thing she has done for her alcoholism-plagued family.<\/p>\n

\nReferring to her family history of alcoholism, she said: \u201cI think, for me, stopping drinking is one of the most honouring things I can do to the Barrymore name because we have all been such hedonists.<\/p>\n

\n\u201cDon\u2019t look to me as the pillar of health and wellness and having it all together.<\/p>\n

\n\u201cIt\u2019s just like, \u2018You know what? This didn\u2019t work for our family, and I\u2019m going to stop it.\u2019<\/p>\n

\n\u201cI\u2019m going to be the one to break the link in that chain and maybe my kids and their kids will be better off for it.\u201d<\/p>\n

\nDrew comes from a long line of stars including her actor dad John Barrymore, whose siblings were Oscar-winners Ethel and Lionel Barrymore.<\/p>\n

\nHe struggled with alcoholism from the age of 14, while her grandad succumbed to it in 1942.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
