Lucy Hale Recalls Hitting “Rock Bottom,” And Reveals The “Greatest Gift” Of Her Sobriety

Buy Me A Coffee

Lucy Hale just spilled the beans on her epic sobriety saga, and let me tell you, it’s like watching a dramatic soap opera but with fewer cliffhangers and more kale smoothies.

So, picture this: It’s January 2, 2022. Lucy, at 35 years young, had a revelation that alcohol was about as useful as a screen door on a submarine. She decided to go cold turkey—no, not the one with gravy, the kind that means saying adios to alcohol.

Two years later, Lucy’s chatting with People magazine about her rocky road to sobriety, or as she puts it, her dramatic descent into “I can’t believe I did that” territory. She reflects on hitting rock bottom, a place so deep it makes the Mariana Trench look like a kiddie pool.

But here’s the twist—Lucy’s biggest revelation wasn’t that her liver needed a vacation. No, it was the realization that talking about her woes made her feel like she was finally getting a VIP pass to the “Hey, I’m Not Alone” club. And guess what? The membership fee was just a bit of vulnerability.

Lucy admits she used to be a pro at hiding her shame, like a superhero with a superpower of secrecy. But then she thought, “Why not share my story?” And bam—she felt like she had found her personal North Star, except it wasn’t made of twinkly lights, but of shared experiences and a lot of deep breaths.

Reflecting on her teenage years, Lucy confesses that she discovered alcohol, which was like her brain’s “off” switch. It worked for a while, like putting a Band-Aid on a broken leg, until it turned her life into a full-blown dark comedy.

Lucy describes her addiction journey as an endless loop of “Oops, I did it again,” complete with literal and figurative face plants. After many years, relapses, and moments where she probably questioned if she was starring in her own personal tragicomedy, she figured out that stopping drinking was just one act in her recovery play.

Her career was her North Star, guiding her through the storm. But it was also like being trapped in a never-ending game of “Show Must Go On,” where she had to be fabulous while feeling like a hot mess inside.

Finally, after hitting rock bottom (again, not a vacation spot), Lucy made a bold decision on January 2, 2022. She decided to get sober, knowing that continuing her old ways would be like signing up for a lifetime of disaster. And guess what? It was the scariest thing she’s ever done, but also the best gift since sliced bread. With this change, her whole life did a dramatic makeover, and she’s now living her best, most sober life.
