Alcohol Addiction

Jane Lynch on Her Sobriety: In and Out and In Again

VIDEO – ON THE PATH –

Feb. 16, 2022 – “The first time you [have a drink], it’s like: ‘Ah, I found it. I feel happy in my body, this feeling of bliss. No one can say anything to me that would make me upset or feel badly about myself right now,’” she recounted to the outlet. “And then maybe the next time you drink, you get it again. Before you know it, it’s not doing it for you. So, for the most part, when I was in the throes of addiction, it wasn’t working.”  

Lynch shared she continued to heavily drink until one day she felt “a kind of magical lifting of my compulsion to drink” and joined Alcoholics Anonymous. “I just loved AA,” she reflected. “It was very much a gift; it was almost like I was struck sober.”
