Get ready with Mikayla Nogueira as she gives a family update.
Five weeks following Cody Hawken’s completion of a 45-day rehabilitation program for substance abuse issues with alcohol and drugs, this TikToker shared insights about his recovery process with his followers.
On May 17th, Mikayla uploaded a series of videos on TikTok showcasing her and Cody enjoying an outdoor day filled with sweet kisses, playing with their adorable pugs, cruising around in the car, and having dinner together.
Above the video, the 26-year-old penned, “As the light returns to your husband’s eyes, you notice his smile growing sincere.
In March, Cody admitted himself into a residential rehabilitation center. He shared on TikTok that his contact with him was minimal while he was there.
For the past month, my husband has been receiving treatment at a rehabilitation center for drug and alcohol addiction. Once a week, we enjoy a small date at the cafeteria. I must admit, the saying ‘absence makes the heart grow fonder’ has never rung truer in my experience.
Despite limited face-to-face interaction, Mikayla remains a steadfast supporter of her husband. She expresses, “Cody has my unwavering admiration. I am with him on this journey, every step of the way. I have full confidence in him and truly believe he can succeed. If anyone is capable of achieving this, it’s Cody.
And later that month, she celebrated his graduation from the center.
In a TikTok video posted on April 14, Mikayla enthusiastically expressed her feelings, saying, “I can’t hide it – I’m overjoyed! I truly miss my spouse.
Though a little anxious about Cody coming back home, she remarked, “I couldn’t be prouder of my spouse.
Earlier, the founder of the beauty brand Point of View had openly discussed Cody’s struggle with sobriety and the factors leading to his decision to seek assistance.
Mikayla shared on her TikTok video dated April 4, “Cody has battled addiction since his youth.” She continued, expressing her emotions, “Dealing with addiction can be incredibly tough, not just for those going through it, but also for those who care about them.
She also offered support for those fighting addiction, stating, “Recovery from sobriety isn’t always smooth. Addiction is a complex disease and can be difficult to grasp if you haven’t experienced it yourself or closely with someone else. A setback, or relapse, during recovery is not a sign of failure but rather an expected part of the process.
Read on for more stars who have been open about their sobriety journeys.
Last October 2018, the star of “American Pie” shared on Instagram that he had been sober for a full year, expressing joy and motivation in his message.
5 years back, I found myself drowning under the burden of my uncontrollable craving for alcohol and drugs. In a desperate bid for relief, I embarked on a journey towards sobriety, a journey that, as I later penned down, was far from easy. “This stuff,” I lamented, “is harder than I ever imagined.
Speaking from personal experience, I’ve persevered through ups and downs to achieve a full year without a drop. This milestone fills me with immense pride, perhaps more so than any other accomplishment in my life. To those battling similar struggles, remember there is always hope. Let go of the shame, let it go. Together, we can conquer this challenge.
In time, he looked back on his experience with substance abuse and the great measures he took to conceal his ongoing battle.
In this March 2024 episode of his wife Jenny Mollen’s “All the Fails” podcast, he shared that he is attending therapy and addressing various issues. However, following a productive session at therapy, he decided to leave therapy, went to a liquor store, bought a bottle of vodka, consumed it, and then drove home. His intention was to get drunk enough to disengage from his current state, avoid feeling emotions intensely.
He mentioned, “I had everything planned perfectly. I made sure not to drink so much that I couldn’t talk to you. In fact, I kept refilling the bottles at the bar frequently.
The two-time winner of the FIFA Women’s World Cup Cup has spoken openly about her past misuse of Adderall as she dealt with injuries during her college soccer years.
On the 2025 episode of the Question Everything with Danielle Robay podcast, she admitted that she had developed an intense addiction to Adderall and was frequently misusing it. She would take it continually, sometimes going without sleep for extended periods. It was quite reckless. She felt as if she was courting a heart attack. Her use of the drug was destructive – she would crush and snort it, leading to numerous problems.
However, in the midst of her struggle, her college coach Anson Dorrance was there to support her.
She clarified that the situation became incredibly dark, requiring significant changes, to which Anson suggested reading books. One book she began with was titled “Man’s Search for Meaning” – a work exploring suffering, finding meaning in adversity, and it ultimately transformed her life.
The Valley star shared his decades-long battle with drugs in March 2025 after going to rehab.
During the March 4 episode of Bravo’s Hot Mic podcast, Jax confessed that he struggles with addiction and specifically named cocaine as his primary substance issue. Admitting it out loud is difficult for him.
He mentioned, “I’ve had periods of struggle with this issue, starting when I turned 23. Now that I’m 45, I can say that I’ve had stretches where I managed to avoid it, but there have also been times when I couldn’t resist indulging excessively.
Apart from quitting cocaine, Jax has also stopped drinking alcohol. He shared that he doesn’t necessarily believe he has an alcohol problem, but both activities often go together for him. He mentioned that he can’t use cocaine without consuming alcohol first. As a result, he decided to give up both substances. Currently, he is 82 or 83 days free from them, which is the longest period in his life he has been without using either.
The lead actor of “Spider-Man: No Way Home” gave up alcohol in 2022, admitting he felt trapped by it. On the “On Purpose with Jay Shetty” podcast, Holland shared his struggle, stating openly that he had an addiction to alcohol. He believes that anyone who drinks every day might be dealing with a similar issue.
As a die-hard enthusiast, I can totally relate! In the heat of the moment, there comes a point when you exclaim, “Gosh, why did I finish that extra brew?” Only to discover the hard way the following morning, grappling with a pounding headache.
After adopting the new lifestyle, Holland found that he was sleeping more soundly and managing issues more effectively.
He confided, “Things that used to stress me out on set no longer bother me as much. Instead, I can handle them with ease.” He went on to say, “My mental focus improved dramatically. I felt more energetic and in better physical condition.
Instead of frequently discussing his sobriety journey that started nearly four decades ago, the lead actor from “The Hunt for Red October” seldom talks about it.
He mentioned during his podcast in May 2024 that he doesn’t often bring up the topic, but occasionally does so when it seems appropriate. He has been sober for 39 years, having achieved sobriety on February 23, 1985.
Regarding his life following his relocation from New York City to Los Angeles in 1983, Alec described his struggles, stating, “For two years, I faced a blazing issue daily. It felt as if I inhaled cocaine from here to Saturn. We even brought some of it home with us. In essence, cocaine was like coffee during that period; everyone seemed to be using it around the clock.
And after quitting the drug, he soon turned to alcohol—only to also quit that dependency.
Today, he relies on the city around him.
He mentioned that New York leaves him feeling calm, sharing his perspective on his familiar city. As he strolls through it, he discovers hidden details he’s never noticed before – such as unique architectural features of buildings, like the intricate doors. He enjoys socializing over meals and drinks with friends, too.
In an interview with the New York Times in April 2024, the former star of The Princess Diaries announced that she has been sober for over five years. She expressed that this achievement marks a significant milestone for her.
Her thoughts were straightforwardly articulated: “I instinctively knew it wasn’t suitable for me,” she confided. “It seemed excessively restrictive to have to say ‘none’, but none. If you’re sensitized or severely react to something, you don’t debate it. So I stopped debating it.
Ever since I took that leap, I can’t help but feel it was the best move for me! It’s been nothing short of transformative, and I can confidently say it’s not about dwelling on past struggles – it’s all about growth. I prefer to focus on the brighter side of life!
In her speech upon receiving the 2018 Woman of the Year Award at the Peggy Albrecht Friendly House, a home providing recovery services for women struggling with substance and alcohol addiction, Moore shared insights about the self-destructive trajectory that almost halted her professional journey.
The individual shared that there are pivotal moments in our lives which mold us and determine our journey, and during the initial phase of their career, they found themselves on a self-destructive path. Regardless of the achievements they garnered, they never felt worthy. They admitted to having no regard for their own worth, and this destructive behavior led them to a critical juncture in life. At the time, it was unclear why this happened. It could have been some form of divine guidance.
In 2012, Moore acknowledged her gratitude towards two individuals who were not well-acquainted with her, for presenting her with a sort of ultimatum to change her life’s direction. She humorously stated, “Unless I was deceased, I needed to attend,” and mentioned that she received an opportunity to alter the trajectory of her life before it crumbled completely.
Moore pointed out that they perceived more of his personality than he did himself. He expressed deep gratitude for this revelation, stating that without their recognition and belief in him, he wouldn’t be where he is now.
2022 saw Cyrus openly discuss her struggle with Xanax addiction, which she has been addressing since 2020. She explained to Rolling Stone that the medication provided structure during a time when she desperately needed it, as she didn’t want to be idle and overwhelmed by her thoughts. For her, it offered hope.
The singer commented, “When I realized there was a momentary respite where you could mute the world and dull your sorrow, that was the end of it.
As a lifestyle expert, I’d rephrase it like this: In the past, my peers tacitly endorsed my drug habits, leading us down a dangerous path that felt bottomless and shrouded in darkness. However, during the pandemic, I found myself struggling with various challenges and realizing that I was emotionally detached. I was often falling asleep, unable to maintain awareness or keep my eyes open, as I had drifted too far into my own world.
She eventually sought help and noted that “it took some time to get on my own two feet.”
16 years ago, the former star of Parenthood had been living a sober life, but in 2020, following a motorcycle accident, they resorted to using Vicodin again.
Over the past two months or so, he mentioned during his “Armchair Expert” podcast, “I’ve been using these medications quite extensively throughout the day, and I am permitted to do so due to my prescription. However, I’m also taking additional amounts beyond what the prescription specifies.
He went on saying, “I detest this situation, I’m deceiving others, yet I realize I must stop. However, my tolerance is escalating so rapidly that I’m now consuming around eight 30-milligram doses a day, which I know will lead to a severe withdrawal. This fear and loneliness are starting to overwhelm me, and I carry this enormous secret within me.
In 2018, the actress who starred in Halloween opened up about her decade-long struggle with opiate addiction that started in the late ’80s following a minor cosmetic surgery to address her family’s genetic puffy eyes. This prescription medication drastically altered her life. “For ten years, I was stealing and scheming,” she confessed to People magazine. “Nobody knew. Nobody.
In the summer of 1998, when Curtis’s sister visited and brought painkillers prescribed for a rib injury, Curtis realized she had reached her lowest point. As she explained to the publication, tears in her eyes, “I knew she had them in our guest room closet. I essentially took all her opiates. When she was leaving, I knew she would pack her suitcase and discover her pills missing. I knew I had to confess what I had done to her, so I wrote a note and left it on her suitcase. I came home that day, and she hugged me, telling me she loved me and expressed concern for my well-being, unwilling to watch me self-destruct.
On February 3, 1999, she participated in her inaugural meeting, coinciding with the day she confided in her filmmaker spouse, Christopher Guest, about her struggle. He was taken aback by his lack of awareness of the situation, Curtis stated, further mentioning that she has remained sober since then.
In 2021, Barrymore, who had earlier sought treatment for alcohol and substance abuse, announced a significant achievement in her recovery journey. She revealed on CBS Mornings, “For the first time in a long while, I’m sharing this: It’s been two and a half years since I last had a drink of alcohol.” She added that she recognized it as something that was not beneficial for her life.
She commented, “It’s quite amusing. When we expose who we truly are, our deepest secrets, and all we’ve striven for, it feels incredibly freeing yet exposing all at once.
Later on, Barrymore clarified to the Los Angeles Times that she avoids the term “sober” as she doesn’t wish for others to perceive her as a “model of perfection” or a “strict Puritan.
In 2023, she reflected, “I had been telling myself, ‘I can conquer this, I will find a solution,’ but then it struck me: ‘You haven’t mastered this skill, and you probably never will.’
During the 2000s, the actor from “A Star Is Born” faced challenges with a cocaine habit. At that time, his friend Will Arnett intervened and addressed his problematic behavior directly.
During his 2022 interview on the Smartless podcast, Cooper shared that it was the first time he acknowledged having issues with substance abuse, an experience he would never forget.
Citing Arnett as the catalyst, Cooper noted, “He had the courage to engage in a challenging discussion with me, which led me to contemplate and ultimately decide to alter the course of my life.
In simpler terms, the main character from Fight Club had issues with alcohol for quite some time, but eventually managed to overcome it thanks to help from Cooper. He publicly acknowledged this at the 2020 National Board of Review Annual Awards when Cooper presented him an award, saying, “Every day has been happier since then.
In September 2023, the former star of Cruel Intentions posted on Instagram that it had been the longest period since his teenage years when he wasn’t using some form of nicotine or marijuana (along with other substances) in his system.
He also expressed gratitude for the liberation he experiences after overcoming addictions and freeing himself from substance dependence. To him, sobriety brings a sense of clarity, a deeper connection to his spirituality, and an undeniable feeling of well-being.
In 2018, during a tour, the singer proudly marked six years without alcohol. However, later that year, she shocked her fans by releasing the introspective song “Sober,” which disclosed that she had unfortunately slipped up and fallen off the wagon.
In a different phrasing, “Mom, I truly regret that I’m no longer in control / Dad, I humbly ask for your forgiveness as I’ve carelessly spilled drinks on the floor / To those who have always been by my side, I apologize sincerely, I’m no longer in control,” she sang.
A month later, Lovato was hospitalized for a near-fatal overdose.
Two weeks ago, she shared on Instagram that her struggle with addiction has always been clear. She went on to explain that this illness doesn’t simply vanish or weaken over time; it’s an ongoing battle she continues to face. At present, she needs time to mend and dedicate herself to her sobriety and the path towards recovery. The support you’ve all shown her will forever be etched in her memory, and she eagerly anticipates the moment when she can declare victory over this challenge. For now, she remains steadfast in her fight.
In 2018, she spoke about her struggles with sexual and alcohol addictions. “My addictions tend to shift. They change. When I was younger, I believe I had some form of a sex addiction, yes, that I thought everything could be resolved through sex,” she explained, before discussing the moment she recognized she had a serious drinking issue.
She recounted, “I found myself at my lowest ebb when I was alone in the house with two bottles of wine and contemplating the third.” It struck her then, “Wait a minute. Here you are, all by yourself, drinking your third bottle of wine? Perhaps there’s an issue to address here.
She explained, “I quit cold turkey, which is typical of me. I can easily cut things off when needed. You see, I tend to get carried away with my interests and have to keep a close watch on myself, as I can become overly engrossed.
It’s not the action that matters but the motivation behind it. The reason for doing something is crucial. It’s not just about the behavior itself, but the underlying intentions connected to it. If you enjoy having sex frequently, there’s nothing wrong with that, but you should consider why you’re doing it so much.
A Backstreet Boys band member experimented with drugs for the first time prior to filming the music video for “The Call” in 2000. He confessed years afterwards on Good Morning America that he felt unusually energetic during the shoot, describing himself as being “on the walls.” He achieved sobriety in 2021 and experienced numerous positive changes within a year, such as shedding 32 pounds in seven months by eliminating alcohol and fast food from his diet.
In an interview with Today in September 2022, he stated, “I put on weight due to drinking, but it took a toll on my mental health as well.
Following Mac Miller’s untimely demise, rapper Bow Wow (formerly Shad Moss) took to Twitter to share his past battle with a codeine addiction. He cautioned his followers about the dangers of such drugs.
“To the youth – stop messing around with these stupid drugs,” he began a series of tweets. “I want to tell you something. During our collaboration on the FACE OFF album, I was addicted to lean every day! When you saw me going off on BET’s 106 & Park, arguing with Torae, I was high on lean. My attitude and everything changed. My fans started turning on me, even my family. I never promoted lean in my songs. The whole time I was on the UCP tour with Chris Brown, I was sipping 4’s at least 7 times a day. I was addicted until our show in Cincinnati, where I passed out backstage and woke up in the hospital during withdrawal.”
“I have never felt pain like that before,” Bow Wow continued. “Even though it was summer, I was walking around with three hoodies on because I was so cold. I missed shows in Chicago and Baltimore because I was high and sick! That’s not cool, and I was doing it to be cool! Quit that stuff! Be a good son or daughter. Be the best you. I will start being more vocal. We need to save the youth from dying young. Parents, watch your kids. Talk to them. We want you all to live, man. I almost died messing with syrup.”
“To this day, my stomach has never been the same, and it hasn’t been,” Bow Wow concluded. “Stay drug-free – that’s the way to be smart, tighten up, and stay alive out here. We can’t afford to lose any more of you. Not one! I love all of you. The young artists around the world – don’t follow a trend. Break the cycle. PEACE.
2018 saw the singer openly discussing her struggles with addiction, following the release of her fourth album “No Shame” and memoir “My Thoughts Exactly”. She admitted to heavy cocaine use and excessive drinking that left her in a parasitic state of intoxication. Notably, an incident at Kate Hudson’s Halloween party, where she accidentally headbutted Orlando Bloom and fainted, led to Chris Martin and Gwyneth Paltrow staging an intervention.
In a conversation with The Guardian, she expressed, “It felt like nothing could touch or fulfill me. One gloomy morning during those difficult times, I found myself contemplating, ‘Perhaps I should try heroin since nothing else seems effective.’
In the 1980s, an actor known for his role in “The Parent Trap” struggled with cocaine addiction, which eventually led him to rehabilitation centers in 1990. He shared this experience during an interview on the show “Today,” stating that he grew up in the ’60s and ’70s, a time when there was a more permissive attitude towards drug use compared to today.
2018 saw him openly acknowledge that he was using cocaine almost every day during the 1980s. He confessed to frequent pleas to God for relief from his addiction, promising to quit if only he could be spared a little longer, as he had to go to work shortly. Yet come 4 in the afternoon, he would find himself thinking, “It’s not so bad.” This translates to: He admitted in 2018 that he was using cocaine nearly every day during the ’80s. He often begged God to take it away, promising he’d stop if only given a bit more time before work. However, by 4 o’clock in the afternoon, he would rationalize that it wasn’t so bad.
He shared an intense moment he referred to as a ‘white light experience,’ where he envisioned his own death or losing everything valuable to him. Overwhelmed, he needed to sit down and clarify this strange occurrence with his then-fiancée, Meg Ryan. From that point onwards, he decided to seek help and ended his relationship with cocaine.
Following an incident at a Newport Beach hotel where Olympic swimmer Ryan Lochte attempted to break down his own door, Lochte chose to seek treatment in 2018. In a statement to TopMob News, his representative explained, “Ryan has been struggling with alcohol addiction for quite some time now, and unfortunately it has led him into harmful behaviors. He has realized that he requires professional help to conquer this issue and will be getting the assistance he needs immediately.
Ryan understands that overcoming this illness is crucial for him to prevent future mistakes, to become the best husband and father possible, and if he aspires to compete again in the pool during his fifth Olympics in Tokyo 2020.
His former role in Parenthood taught him that it’s not advisable to give up alcohol for someone else, but his relationship with Melanie Lynskey played a significant part in his decision to abstain from alcohol.
He shared during an interview on The Drew Barrymore Show in March 2023, “At some point, I realized how extraordinary she was, and I believed she would be perfect for someone truly deserving. However, I didn’t see myself as that worthy person; I felt a bit too unstable.
However, as Ritter noted to TopMob News, he now sees that sobriety is ultimately a personal choice.
In the beginning stages of their relationship, he found it simpler to claim that his actions were for her because, at that moment, he didn’t have a high sense of self-worth. He wasn’t overly concerned with causing himself harm as much as he was with preventing harm to her. Therefore, it was more straightforward for him to express, “I’m doing this for her.” However, now, he is acting for his own sake.
For approximately ten years now, the nation’s musical icon has maintained his sobriety, but achieving this milestone was no easy feat. His struggle with alcohol and painkillers started shortly after he graduated from high school and persisted even as his career flourished. He always carried a black leather laptop bag containing bottles of Jagermeister or vodka within easy reach, as he admitted in a previous interview with People. He explained that every hour and a half to two hours, he would take multiple swigs from the bottle. Additionally, every three to four hours, he would consume one or two painkillers.
He acknowledged that it didn’t hinder his achievements. Instead, he was quite functional, even thriving – writing more songs back then than he does currently. That’s what made it so unnerving for him.
Towards the end of 2011, he was admitted to the hospital due to pancreatitis, and doctors warned him that continued drinking could mean he wouldn’t live to see his next birthday. However, despite the warning, he tried to moderate his habits on his own, saying things like, “Alright, I’ll only take two pills today.” or “I’ll drink just this much from my bottle and mark it.” This strategy worked for a few days, but then someone would throw a party.
After realizing he needed assistance, he checked into rehab on December 18, 2011. Gilbert stated, “I reached a point where I knew I couldn’t handle it alone anymore. It infuriated me and made me feel embarrassed. I’m generally quite determined, but this was the one aspect of my life that I just couldn’t manage.
