I prefer the term recovered. It does not mean cured. You are recovered from a seemingly hopeless state of mind. The metaphor I like best to describe this is: if you get shot, and receive medical attention, etc. - at some point the doctor will pronounce you recovered, but this does not mean that you are now bulletproof. I respect everyone’s wish to see it as it suits and helps them best. For me, I use the word recovered. When I first got sober this wording fascinated me and I went down a wormhole on the subject

Everyone has addictions. First step is acknowledging it, not pretending to be perfect

I drank everyday the last two years of my drinking career. I'm now 2 years and 4 months sober. My head has changed in that time in very deep and profound ways. Even my thoughts move in different way inside my brain. A paradigm shift by quitting drinking.

I watched Jamie on a catwalk one time, on tv. She stopped and said hello to a young boy doing a report for a school magazine. He got tongue tied. Jamie stopped him and told him to relax, get himself ready with his questions while she went to talk to some other people, then, she said she would come back and give him his interview. At that point, I understood what a wonderful person she was. Please stay well Jamie, you deserve it!

I would drink at the weekends with a family member and okay the Xbox. I never went out, I always made sure I had eaten something or was eating during and did all the responsible things I should have been doing when drinking. And since the only alcoholic in the family was my gran who was a raging drunk, me being very calm when drinking, never getting properly drunk and still going to school and behaving normally never set off any alarms. They literally didn't know. And let me clarify once again, I wasn't an alcoholic. I am not addicted to alcohol. I would have been if my behaviour continued, though. I got clarification just in time and stopped the drink that morning. Cold turkey. They was no withdrawals, no cravings etc because my body wasn't addicted to it. But I was going to be. In sober now and still want a drink every now and then but that's just because I liked to taste of whisky and to be in a country that makes such good whisky that I can't touch is sad.

The saddest thing about addiction is that each of us know we have to hide it from everybody else, thinking we are the only ones who cannot control ourselves. As long as we hide it, we will keep it. Once we realize that the only way to beat it is to expose it and we openly declare we are addicted, the process of healing and overcoming that addiction can begin. Mine was alcohol. 29 years of sobriety. Now, I spend my time helping and doing for those I love. I am no longer wrapped up in myself. Now, I am constantly thinking about ways I can help those I care about and the feeling is wonderful. I am alive at last!

And the concepts that recovery has very black and white requirements in order to maintain. But yet I wake up, suffer, repeat. Am I not LITERALLY , intentionally FAILING myself at this point ? I would die a thousand deaths for my daughter, but realistically I've proven to her that she is not worth me living a single one . Maybe I stay in this hell intentionally because this is what I deserve.. and I'm not writing this for someone to tell me I am worthy or to coddle me.. PS is it still an epiphany even if it is a terrible realization LOL and if anyone that knew me from high school sees this........mind your fucking business I'm doing great😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 and

I relapsed a month ago. I'm happy to hit a month sober, but it's so discouraging when you fall again. Even more when you think of all the people you look up to whose lives were cut short from addiction. Jamie Lee Curtis is one of my favorite actors and this is so encouraging to hear. It's easy to forget how many people recover, but the statistic makes me feel like i can do it too. I'm 18, I haven't permanently damaged my body, I almost choked and died one night; I don't want to be trapped by my apathetic lizard-brain wanting more chemicals. The feeling I get on a happy sober day is better than the feeling any drug can gove me. The worst day sober has nothing on my worst days downing pills. Sobriety's the only way to achieve inner peace, even if it's a hard path to walk.

Ruth Salinas// I have a chronic pain disorder and took pain killers for it. Definitely try THC first if it’s possible for you. It’s less harsh on the body, less addictive, and can give you the exact same results. If that doesn’t help, then I’d say ask your doctor about other low dose options.

I'm also an an addict and in recovery. That's an amazing story of it!!

As a recovering addict, I had no idea Jamie was a recovering addict. I’ve always loved her but now I love her even more.

It’s always healthy to have a good relationship with truth.

I'm so proud of Jamie Lee for speaking out. I'm a huge fan of each of her parents and now of her's. I overcame an amphetamine dependency. It was medically prescribed to me, and withdrawing from it was the worst physical experience of my life. Sometimes I still crave it. I meditate and talk about it or write about it when I crave and so far, I have not relapsed. Thank you Jamie Lee for bravely sharing your opioid dependency and recovery which will inspire others. I'm so proud of you and maybe will get to meet you one day 🙂

Jamie Lee bless you for this. Doctors can do incredible damage to people’s lives. A pain specialist who was also an anesthesiologist decided he wanted me to stop taking two meds post surgery. No detox plan no withdrawal just stop. You can’t just stop. I’m lucky I had the GP that I do. But you, Kristen Johnson, and Stevie Nicks got me through the worst of it. I wasn’t alone. I TiVo’d every interview, I read everyone’s bio. Every time you speak you give the gift of a lifeline.

I'd die to see her in person and listen to her talking, it's like a therapy. Such a wise strong woman!

I struggle everyday to not give into pills and stay healthy. This was real. Stay strong everyone!

I’m glad she spoke about having to use pain killers in recovery. As a recovering opiate addict, I was terrified of having to deal with an injury or surgery, then I learned I had to have multiple surgeries including a total hysterectomy and bilateral mastectomy. I thought that would be the end for me, but I had an amazing support system and doctors, and I made through all the surgeries without relapse. I know many addicts in recovery are terrified of having to have pain medications for a legitimate reason, but it can be done. Good for you Jamie! Thank you for sharing your experience and helping to dispel some of the shame that comes with addiction.

Wowwwwww, she’s so right!! Never had any idea she was in recovery😮🏃‍♀️🏃‍♀️🏃‍♀️🙏🙏🙏❤️‍🔥🌟

My son was “unresponsive” were the words I thought I’d never hear. Straight A’s, baseball, football, wrestling. He did it all. Almost 8 years since he has been clean from heroin. You can never escape a demon on your back. You can hide it from many people, even a mom, dad, gram, aunt. Stay clean, thank you for sharing.

she never stops amazing me- honest, wise, frank and wonderful

I appreciate her honesty, she's one the few actors that seems so genuine. Five Vicodin's and wine is a dangerous cocktail. There's a difference between legitimate pain patients and pure addiction. It just bothers by the massive stigma now placed on pain patients due to others being addicted to it. I had to have a hip replacement(bone on bone had no choice genetic hip problem) last December it failed three days later then placed in another hospital and having to have another emergency replacement on the same leg again and due to all of this five months later had to have the tendon head cut out. I am in severe legitimate pain and I have a fabulous pain doctor who works with me. Pain control is completely different and I am glad my doctor monitors and keeps me safe. Between an insane amount of trigger point injections thirty in one session and manual therapy and medication for pain control it stays somewhat calm, long way to go, that's how much damage one doctor can do. My doctor controls it and he has common sense and cautious I am so glad I found him for pain management. Like she said she broke her ribs and had to take Vicodin however she said she had to do it in a careful manner that's how it should always be done.

S B Taking medicine like this just isn’t fun! I don’t understand it. I have severe facial pain. I broke my neck in a car crash. I had malignant melanoma 8 years ago, and it’s back now. Through all that and more I have taken medicine responsibly and as prescribed. Why some family members take 25 Vicodin at a time is unbelievable to me. I ask, ‘Don’t you get sick?’ I guess they develop a tolerance to the stuff. That’s why people like me cannot get meds anymore. THAT is a crime. For God’s sake, people like me are going to DIE! Give us a break!

I wonder what happened to her friend that was also addicted. Hopefully she got out of it too.

I love her honesty and candour, part of being an addict is lying, to other people and yourself, you lie to others to convince them that there's nothing wrong with you and that you're coping in life, due to pride and self-image, you lie to yourself for much the same reasons and the fear that others might find out that you're not coping and need a crutch, admitting you're an addict frees you of the fear of discovery and humbles you in admitting that you need help, and that you appear to others as weak, it takes a lot of courage to do, but it is ultimately freeing and the only way to move forward and reclaim your life.

I love what she said about shame and secrecy keeping people locked up in their disease. Let's start up conversations about addiction and be sure to always support and not shame anyone in our lives who is recovering from addiction.

Any addictive is destructive. But main difficult to admit you are addicted. Thanks Jaimie for your honestly.

I've always loved Jamie Lee Curtis. She is such a down to Earth, sweet person...she's very funny too. god bless you and your courage and commitment to stay sober. 💕

I've always loved Jamie-Lee. I had no idea she had ever had a substance abuse problem. Good on her for reaching sobriety.

A beautiful and honest self reflective statement of addiction and the process of recovery.

She's Blessed she's a survivor. Many die. God God Bless her. She can now minister to other's.

I was in a relationship with the love of my life and found out he had a secret painkiller addiction. Had to end it. I also had cancer 2 years ago and had to quit smoking. Addiction is a bitch. I can tell Jamie is clean by the way she talks. I wish I could shake her hand for this video. 💕

I relate to her story. Got hooked badly. I knew I had a problem when I started waking up in withdrawal even after using the whole day prior. The energy, money, dishonor and pure work to keep ur habit going started to exhaust the hell outta me but I kept it going bc I knew Uncle Withdrawal was rightttttttttt around the corner. It's amazing how we will "go out", sometimes for years just to avoid that one god awful week of withdrawal. Yes, that's how bad it is.

@Confident Connor As the Mother of another Connor who is probably close in age to you, I urge you to seek help. Go to a meeting - just one meeting - take that first step. There are people there who care about you and your recovery. I don't know what your family situation is like, but I can tell you that loosing a child - to anything, is a heartbreak that never heals. I lost my 30 year old Nephew to a fentanyl overdose, 5 years ago, and his parents will never be whole again. They are just beginning to put one foot in front of the other - 5 years later. I can also tell you, as someone who struggled with anxiety and panic attacks since my late teens, that life gets better, and you come to appreciate the simple things more, each day. I wish you well, Connor. ✌️💞
