♥️
Russell Brand was a heroin and crack addict who thrived on substance abuse. His road to recovery was difficult but the 43-year-old got there eventually and is thankful for the support he received in trying to get sober.
♠️
In late 2018, he released a memoir of his road to sobriety, Recovery: Freedom From Our Addictions, that he hopes will inspire others to take the steps to get sober. He told The Fix that it's very difficult to do it on your own and that he was lucky to have so many people willing to mentor him on his road to recovery.

”I had the privilege of going to a 12-step treatment center, getting three months there, the hugs man, the hugs, the optimism. And then coming out and finding other people, support groups where people would sort me out.”
