Danny Trejo Recalls Being ‘Dead Drunk’ Before Getting Sober 55 Years Ago

VIDEO – WALKING THE WALK –

Jan. 5, 2024 – ‘Like a Dragon: Infinite Wealth’ actor Danny Trejo got sober in 1968 after finding God. We asked the “Machete” actor how he managed to remain sober for more than five decades, he replied, “I accidentally walked into an Alcoholics Anonymous” at the young age of 15. “It was a lot of people outside. We thought it was a party, so we busted inside, and it was an AA meeting,” Trejo recalled. “I was carrying a case of beer, three bottles of wine, a half pint of whiskey. I was already loaded on pills.”

As Trejo now laughs about the situation, he added that his sponsor said, “Those were previews of coming attractions” after he stumbled upon the AA meeting. You got to have people around you that have your best interest because everybody knows who has an alcoholic problem,” he shared. 

The “Clerks III” actor praised Alcoholics Anonymous and Narcotics Anonymous for helping him get through his addiction.
