Addiction Struggle
He talks about the beginnings of his addiction in his memoir. In the book he recalls how he tried marijuana at 9 years old and dropped acid when he was just 13 years old. He also recalls showing up at his grandmother’s deathbed as he reeked of alcohol, something which then became the final straw for him.
His 99-year-old grandmother lay on her deathbed, and he had shown up at her bedside after waking up, hangover on the streets. It was that moment that made him realize that there are a lot more years he wants to live.
“I knew that was going to be the last time I drank,” Brolin shared. This incident occurred in 2013, and now it has been over a decade that Brolin has embraced sobriety.
“I love being sober. I have more fun,” he shared. “There’s nothing that I go through that I am absolutely certain wouldn’t be worse if I was drinking.”
