Anne Hathaway, renowned actress and star among many other films in the recently released ‘The Idea of ??You’, has shared a significant aspect of her personal life when celebrating five years of sobriety.
In an interview with The New York Times, he expressed his pride in this achievement, highlighting it as an important milestone in his life. Hathaway said: “I don’t normally talk about it, but I’ve been sober for over five years. That seems like a milestone to me.”
Speaking previously to Vanity Fair, Anne explained her decision to give up alcohol, acknowledging that it “wasn’t doing her any good.” She compared her relationship with alcohol to an allergy, and since for her, alcohol was an obstacle in her life, she decided to eliminate it. “Deep down I knew it wasn’t for me. And I felt like it was so extreme to have to say, ‘But nothing? If you’re allergic to something or have an anaphylactic reaction to something, you don’t argue with it. So I stopped arguing about it.’ that”.
Motherhood was also a major factor in her decision to stay sober. Anne shared that she wanted to be a better mother to Jonathan and Jack (ages 8 and 4).
Sobriety has been a transformative experience for Anne, who recognizes that everything is better for her now. For the actress, alcohol was like “fuel for wallowing,” and leaving it behind has improved her quality of life and her emotional well-being.
For the actress, this stage of her life is more relevant than turning forty, and she also took the opportunity to reject the label of ‘middle age’ for “not being accurate,” giving value to the uncertainty of life and the importance of live each day fully pointed out: “We don’t know if this is middle age. We don’t know anything.”
In this way, Anne Hathaway shows her courage and commitment to a healthier and more balanced life, inspiring others to make positive choices in their own lives.
