My Recovery

My Substance Abuse Recovery

Actress and author Jamie Lee Curtis is most proud of her recovery from drug and alcohol addiction.

 

"My recovery is the single greatest accomplishment of my life. And without that, the rest of my life would have fallen apart," Curtis said.

"Some people get it. Robert Downey Jr. was in prison for a year. And he is not only the greatest movie star in the world, he’s a fantastic representative of someone who can repair the damage of their life. Recovery is an acceptance that your life is in a shambles and you have to change it. I was lucky. I didn’t have to lose anything."

Curtis became addicted to prescription painkillers at the age of 35. Now 51, Curtis has been sober for more than 10 years.
