He had the hardest time getting roles after his rehab because studios wouldn’t take a chance on him. Then came Iron Man.

That was excellent!!! I didn’t see Slash. But I think I heard his solo… Was that him? I wonder why he wasn’t in the video. Thanks for sharing that!

I love drew Barrymore!! :heart_eyes:

Dax Sheppard is also sober and has a podcast called armchair expert. He has a lot of celebs on that also happen to be sober - Macklemore, Bradley Cooper, DB, and many more. The podcast isn’t about being sober but he does discuss it with a lot of guests and is super open about it!

I really like Drew Barrymore. She had a talk show I used to watch during the pandemic. Not sure it’s still going.

Here’s another thread about sober celebrities.

Tom Hardy. He has some great quotes in general.

Missing from this list is a quote about all it would take would be 4 pints and a half bottle of vodka to absolutely ruin everything he has worked so hard for.

Actually Ringo is married to Barbara Bach who’s sister Marjorie is married to Joe Walsh. They all do sober together. Collectively over 100 years sobriety. Anyway…I read that. Thought it was cool.

I know. Sadly missed. He did share freely about addiction, sobriety and mental health problems though. He’s still an inspiration to me.

And it is confirmed! The song that will rattle around in my head in an endless loop today is “Both Sides Now.” Beautiful ballad. Thank you!

Another mention is Steven Tyler. With the obvious disclaimer that he hasn’t had continuous sobriety. But he has tried. I give him his due because he wrote my favorite sobriety anthem, “Amazing”.

Highly recommend the Smartless podcast. Will Arnett and Jason Bateman are sober and discuss it. Sean Hayes hosts with them. Very funny.

Elizabeth Vargas - her memoir “Between Breaths” was a game changer for me.

Selma Blair - just got her memoir “Mean Baby” but haven’t read it.

Sobriety is starting to become really cool. Appreciate all those who open up about their struggles with alcohol and drugs.
