Lily Allen Celebrates 18 Months of Sobriety

ONE YEAR AND A HALF AT A TIME –

Jan. 27, 2021 – She “got clean” but six months later she fell off the wagon again and “lost everything.”

“I lost my marriage. I lost my house I worked for 10 years to buy. My career started sinking. I lost all my friends. I was so resentful. So angry all the time. Really felt like the world owed me stuff,” she said on the podcast. “That went on for another four years.”

But she sobered up again and has been going strong ever since.

“I’m in the process of breaking that cycle. I felt so guilty about neglecting my kids in those early years of their life and having to go off on tour and misbehave in the way that I was. I really have a great relationship with my kids now,” she said.

Allen, who has two kids with ex-husband Sam Cooper, is now married to “Stranger Things” star David Harbour.

“I’m in a really happy and healthy relationship. He’s sober, has been sober for 20 years now,” she said of Harbour. “We’re thinking about what we’re going to do with the rest of our lives … I don’t have as much as I had then in terms of success and wealth, but I have success and health in my mind, which is more valuable, I think.”
