The Spider-Man star, 29, quit drinking in early 2022 after participating in the “Dry January” challenge, which made him realize he had become “obsessed” with alcohol. In 2024, he launched his non-alcoholic beer brand, Bero. On Thursday, the British actor hosted his second annual Bero Padel Classic, a padel tennis tournament in Los Angeles sponsored by his company and attended by numerous A-listers, including his fiancée Zendaya, Simu Liu, Steve Aoki, Diplo and Jay Shetty. Asked by USA Today at the event whether his life’s blessings would have unfolded the same way had he not become sober, Holland replied: “That’s a really big question. “I’ve been so lucky in the last four years that my career has really blossomed in a really …

After a turbulent coming of age in the spotlight, which included the release of Cyrus’s provocative “Wrecking Ball” music video and a risqué VMAs performance with Robin Thicke, “I wasn’t trying to kill Hannah off,” she told Variety. “I was just progressing.” Cyrus continued, “Being recognizable as a teen going through different phases and stages was sometimes awkward, but that’s what helped me relate to the kids watching at home.” She added: “I boldly and unapologetically presented myself to the world at that time, where I could have gone the other way and played it safe. Maybe that would have been successful at the time, and it wouldn’t have been such a cross to bear, but I wouldn’t have had the reward. I don’t know if I would have had the sustainability that my career has now.” In 2020, Cyrus changed her life by choosing sobriety. As she told Variety, “It’s no surprise that I had my experiences with drugs and alcohol. “I was so used to living at a high, and I don’t think I ever learned …

My Sobriety Is Not a Weight Loss Plan

My Sobriety Is Not a Weight Loss Plan

Published by Jenni Sidey

I love a good list. I have lists of house projects and plans. (Most of them will never come to fruition, but it’s good to have HGTV dreams, I guess.) I have lists of article ideas, vacation spots, and books I want to read. I collect these tabulations in a notebook, and, yes, I have a list of my lists on the first page. It’s good to have a plan. It’s good to work towards a goal. When I first got sober, I so wanted to make a list out of it. I wanted to write down all my goals, affirmations, and plans for my newly sober self. Early sobriety showed me windows of empowerment paired with flashes of joy. My synapses were firing up in a way that they hadn’t been allowed to do so in years. True, a lot of these feelings were also paired with searing bouts of pain (all the emotions) and weariness (all the healing). I am sure I wanted to make lists about those things, too. It would’ve been …

The 46-year-old actor, best known for comedic roles in series such as Russian Doll and Poker Face, has been vocal about her struggles with addiction to alcohol and drugs, specifically heroin. In 2005, Lyonne was hospitalized after suffering a collapsed lung, a heart infection, and hepatitis C, conditions caused by her longtime drug abuse. The near-death experience, along with a string of other legal troubles, is what prompted her to get sober. She remained sober for at least a decade, until Saturday, when she candidly shared on X: “Took my relapse public more to come.” In a following post, the American Pie star added: “Recovery is a lifelong process. Anyone out there struggling, remember you’re not alone. Grateful for love & smart feet.” open image in gallery …
