She explained that her household was fine with others such bad habits out in the open however sugar was banned from their house.
Drew Barrymore has been sober for two and a half years now. This was revealed in an interview by Drew. She stated that she had only become sober because she had realized that she was much more than the substances she was taking.
In the same interview, she also mentioned that she had sought help for her mental health after her divorce in 2016. She said, “I wasn’t doing very well, and I just wanted to go talk to some people and how to pull myself out of a hole, and I had these two kids that I had to figure out and I needed help. I started reaching out to different people and eventually, I made some big, sweeping changes in my life, and I got on a whole new track – not back on track, but a brand new one that I helped build.”
Drew also revealed that she had spent 18 months in a rehab center. She was very appreciative of the facility and claimed that it was because she had gotten the help that she was happy in her life and grateful for everything that she had.
