Actor Dave Coulier Recalls His Two-Year Sobriety Journey-‘When I Drank, I Was The Life Of The Party’
The 62-year-old has been struggling with substance abuse throughout his life. The star admitted that the journey to get sober was complicated by the physical and mental hardships that developed, as a result of the withdrawal symptoms.
And now that he has managed to get control over himself, he could not help but look back at some of the negative moments in his life to show how far he had come. In a post to his fans on Instagram, Dave shared a picture of himself from one of his drunken days.
We can see that he has scarring and bruising on his face, as it is clear that something untoward had happened to him. The post was captioned by the following comments: “Yes. An alcoholic. I’ve been alcohol free since January 1, 2020.
“When I drank, I was the life of the party. I could make people laugh until they fell down. In this picture I was the one who fell down…I was hammered and fell, going up some stairs made of stone.”
Once Dave realised that he had a serious problem, he made the decision to turn his life around for the sake of his wider family. His wife Melissa Bring was an instrumental part in him getting his life back on track.
This was not just because of the wider support that she offered him, but the very fact of the matter is that they do have children together. As such, Dave knew that he had to stay in a good place in order to be there for their children. That is why he had nothing but praise for his wife, who was there with him every step of the way.
He added: “The psychological and physical transformation has been amazing. The sky is more blue, my heart is no longer closed, and I enjoy making people laugh until they fall down more than ever before. Thank you, Melissa, for being by my side. I love you.”
