Sober Success Story! –
April 2, 2018 – John received treatment for his alcoholism, and he’s now been sober for 10 years … John took home the 1993 Golden Globe for Best Actor on the hit sitcom, but the loss of privacy and pressures of being in the spotlight led him to turn to alcohol. “I got complacent and ungrateful. And after nine years—eight years, I wanted to leave the show,” John confessed. “I handled it like I did everything else, by sittin’ on a bar stool. And that made it worse.” As we all know, John ended up staying on the show until the series finale in 1997, and has now reprised his role for its already successful new reboot. Soon after the show ended 20 years ago, John received treatment for his alcoholism, and he’s now been sober for 10 years.
