Brad Pitt’s been really open about his journey to getting sober. He said it all started after his very public breakup with Angelina Jolie. He realized he needed to get a grip and face some things about himself, so he decided to get sober.
In a recent interview, Pitt put it simply: “I had taken things as far as I could take it, so I removed my drinking privileges.” He also gave a shout-out to Alcoholics Anonymous (AA), saying it really changed things for him. He felt like he could be himself without being judged. “It was actually really freeing just to expose the ugly sides of yourself. There’s great value in that,” he said.
When he and Jolie split up in 2016, it was a huge deal. They were like Hollywood royalty, together for over ten years with six kids. That split made Pitt really look at his life and his habits, and that’s what kicked off this big change in him.
It’s cool that Brad Pitt is talking about his sobriety, especially now when everyone’s becoming more aware of mental health and addiction in Hollywood. People are saying his story is a great example of why it’s important to be open, to heal, and to have support from groups like AA.
