Tom Holland is opening up about what pushed him to lead a sober life and how he felt “enslaved” to alcohol at one point. During an appearance on the podcast On Purpose with Jay Shetty, Holland talked about his addiction to alcohol and at what moment he decided to make a change in his life. “I’m happy to say it — I was definitely addicted to alcohol.
I’m not shying away from that at all,” he said on the show. He added, “It’s interesting. I didn’t one day wake up and say, ‘I’m giving up drinking.’ I, just like many Brits, had a very, very boozy December … I’ve always been able to drink a lot.” The star of Apple TV+’s The Crowded Room said he took up the “Dry January” challenge at the beginning of 2022 and gave up on alcohol for the holidays. “All I could think about was having a drink … I was waking up thinking about it.
I was checking the clock, when’s it 12 p.m.?” he said adding that “it just really scared me.” Holland continued with the challenge and further dared himself to not drink until his birthday in June. “By the time I got to June 1, I was the happiest I’ve ever been in my life,” he noted. “I could sleep better.
