EVERY DAY IS SPECIAL –
June 24, 2021 – “One year ago today I quit drinking,” O’Connell wrote, in a lengthy post on Instagram.
He went on to reveal that he’s long struggled with the substance, and pointed to Annie Grace’s book This Naked Mind as a resource that helped him get sober.
“I used to see posts like this and be like ‘WTF? HOW?’ And, look, everyone is different. I did not do [Alcoholics Anonymous] which has worked for so many. I read a book,” he said.
The Netflix star revealed This Naked Mind deconstructed “alcohol’s power over our society and explained its addictive nature in a science and facts-driven way that made sense for me.”
“But reading the book wasn’t a magic trick. I was also ready to be sober and not live in the iron grip of booze anymore,” O’Connell added.
