In a recent interview, Jamie Lee Curtis boldly shared the details of her sobriety struggle.

The 64-year-old actress spoke out about her battle with opioid addiction on the Morning Joe, saying she felt ‘incredibly lucky’ to have won the battle 24 years ago.

During the conversation, Curtis spoke candidly about how people largely ignored some of her darkest periods. ‘My worst day was almost invisible to anyone else,’ she said.

‘Lucky me. I didn’t make bad choices while I was high or under the influence that I would later regret for the rest of my life, she said.

‘There are women in prison whose lives have been destroyed by alcohol and drugs, not because they were violent felons or horrible people, but because they were addicts.’

‘I am incredibly lucky that wasn’t my path,’ she continued.

The Oscar-winning actress, who acknowledged to being an opiate addict who enjoyed the ‘opiate buzz,’ found clarity and a fresh perspective after becoming sober.

‘If fentanyl was available, as easily available as it is today on the street,’ she further said, ‘I’d be dead.’

She continued abusing drugs until 1999, during which time she secretly led a double life of theft and plotting.

However, she has later claimed that achieving sobriety was her greatest accomplishment since it has allowed her to living an ‘incredible life.’

She has been sober for several years, and according to Curtis, it is ‘the key to freedom, the

freedom to be me, to not be looking in the mirror in the reflection and trying to see somebody else.’

I check myself in the mirror,’ she continued. Ich sehe mich. I accept who I am. I continue because, do you know what?

We have a lot of things to do in the world. I’m ending the cycle that has essentially ended the lives of my family’s generations.

Curtis experienced the tragic death of her brother Nicholas, who overdosed on drugs at the age of 21 and passed away. Actor Tony Curtis, her father, battled alcohol and drug addiction.

‘Getting sober remains my single greatest accomplishment,’ she affirmed. ‘Bigger than my husband, both of my children, and all effort, success, and failure combined. Anything.’
