A-B-C-D-E-F-G—Kourtney Kardashian has to go celebrate a major milestone.
While at an event for Khloe Kardashian’s new popcorn flavor, Koko by Khloe, Kourtney Kardashian shared that she recently celebrated three years of being sober.
Kourtney Kardashian, 46, received a special delivery of a new truffle white cheddar popcorn from the food brand, as seen in a video she shared on Instagram Stories on January 16th. She was also offered a non-alcoholic gin drink to enjoy with the snack.
Khloé Kardashian commented on a post from Khloudfoods, saying she told them she hasn’t had alcohol in three years, and wished everyone a ‘Fancy Friday’.
Kourtney, who has three children – Mason, 16, Penelope, 13, and Reign, 11 – with her ex, Scott Disick, and a son, Rocky, 2, with her husband Travis Barker, finished the video by raising her glass and saying, “Cheers!”
Kourtney isn’t the only one in her family talking about getting sober. Scott, who has openly struggled with alcoholism since appearing on Keeping Up with the Kardashians, has also shared how he discusses his past issues with alcohol with his oldest son, Mason.
Scott Disick explained on the January 2025 episode of Khloé in Wonder Land that he’s been honest with his son, Mason, about his past struggles with alcohol and the negative consequences it had. He admitted Mason initially worried Scott might favor him differently because of it, but Scott reassured him that he wouldn’t be treated any differently due to his past mistakes.
He explained that he’d intervene if he saw any signs of a drinking problem, especially if it seemed to run in the family. Otherwise, he’d treat his child like any other kid and allow them to make their own choices.
The reality star also expressed his hope that his son, Mason, will look up to his aunts – Kendall Jenner, Kylie Jenner, and Kim Kardashian – as positive influences.
He explained that he often discusses this with the person in question, warning them that it could lead to trouble or be a really positive experience. He pointed to Kendall and Kylie as a good example, saying they enjoy going out for drinks and know how to have fun responsibly—unlike Kim, who doesn’t drink at all. He feels they strike a perfect balance between enjoying themselves and staying grounded.

While AJ acknowledged he is “still learning, still growing,” he’s now confident in who he is.

In October 2018, the actor known for American Pie shared on Instagram that he had been sober for a year, marking the occasion with a positive and motivational message.
He first attempted to stop drinking and using drugs more than five years ago, realizing his addiction had become overwhelming. He quickly discovered it wasn’t an easy process.
Oh my gosh, he said he’s officially one year sober! One YEAR! I’m seriously tearing up just thinking about it. He admitted it was a struggle at first, but he did it, and he sounded SO proud, like it’s the best thing he’s ever accomplished. And then he spoke directly to anyone who’s going through it, telling them there’s help available and to not be embarrassed to ask for it. It was just…everything. He’s amazing, and he truly believes we can all get through this too.
Looking back on his battle with addiction, he thought about how far he’d gone to keep it a secret.
He described a cycle where he’d attend therapy, feel good afterward, and then immediately go buy and drink a large bottle of vodka before driving home. He explained on his wife Jenny Mollen’s podcast, All the Fails, that he used alcohol to escape his feelings and disconnect from reality, effectively removing himself from the present moment.
He explained that he’d carefully planned how much to drink, wanting to stay clear-headed enough to talk. He mentioned he was constantly switching out the alcohol bottles at the bar.
I’ve been following her career for years, and I was really struck by her honesty in recently sharing that she struggled with Adderall misuse while playing college soccer and dealing with some tough injuries. It takes a lot of courage to talk about something like that, especially as a two-time World Cup champion!
She shared on the 2025 podcast Question Everything with Danielle Robay that she had become seriously addicted to Adderall and was using it improperly. She explained she was taking it constantly, often going for days without sleep. It was a chaotic time, and she worried she was damaging her health – she felt like she was pushing her body to the limit. She admitted to crushing and snorting the pills, describing it as a very difficult period in her life.
However, in the midst of her struggle, her college coach Anson Dorrance was there to support her.
She described a difficult time when things became very challenging, and she had to adapt. Anson encouraged her to read, and she discovered a book called Man’s Search for Meaning. This book, which explores the idea of finding purpose even in suffering, profoundly impacted her life.
In October 2025, Migos member Quavo revealed he had been sober from codeine—an opioid often mixed with soda to create the drink known as sizzurp—for four years. He credited a serious conversation with his teenage son, Jordan, as the turning point that led him to get clean.
Offset shared that his oldest son repeatedly asked for pineapple Fanta, even though he rarely drinks soda. The son eventually noticed his father’s drink was a different color and asked why, which Offset found incredibly touching.
Offset explained that the seemingly harmless comment really bothered him, saying he almost cried when he went to his room.
The rapper explained he felt guilty as a father. He was worried his son didn’t realize he was using drugs and that even small things, like his son wanting the same soda, felt like a bad influence. He was concerned he was setting a poor example.
The Academy Award-winning actor has often openly discussed December 29, 1975, the date he stopped drinking.
In an October 2025 interview on The New York Times‘ podcast The Interview, he admitted he was driving under the influence in California and essentially blacked out. He had no idea where he was going until he realized the danger he posed to others—or himself, which he said he didn’t even care about at the time—leading him to recognize he had a problem with alcohol.
I’ve been following his journey for a long time, and it’s incredibly inspiring. He finally took the leap and asked for help, which allowed him to start rebuilding his life. Just recently, in December 2025, he celebrated 50 years of sobriety! He marked the occasion with a powerful message for anyone struggling like he once did, offering hope and showing them recovery is possible.
He urged people to embrace life in an Instagram message, repeating, “Life, life, life and more life.”

He explained that he’s been struggling with this issue intermittently since he was 23, and now, at 45, it continues. He’d sometimes manage to stop, but then other times he’d really focus on it.
Let me tell you, making big life changes is never easy, but so worth it! I recently decided to stop drinking, and honestly, it wasn’t about thinking I had a problem with alcohol itself. For me, it was connected to other things – I realized I couldn’t manage one without the other. So, I made the decision to quit both, and I’m really proud of the progress I’ve made. As of today, I’m over 82 days sober, which is the longest stretch in my entire life! It feels amazing, and I’m committed to continuing this journey.
Tom Holland, known for his role in Spider-Man: No Way Home, quit drinking in 2022 because he felt controlled by alcohol. He admitted on the On Purpose with Jay Shetty podcast that he was addicted. “I was definitely addicted to alcohol, and I’m not afraid to say that,” Holland shared. He believes that having a beer every day could be a sign of a problem.
The actor explained that you eventually realize you made a mistake, like after having one too many beers. Then, you wake up with a really bad headache.
After adopting a new lifestyle, Holland found he was sleeping more soundly and coping with challenges more effectively.
Honestly, being on set used to stress me out. Little things would normally send me spiraling, but during this time, I could just…handle them. It was amazing! I felt so much more clear-headed, and genuinely healthier and fitter than ever before. It was like a weight lifted, and I could just deal with anything they threw at me.
Sean Connery, known for his role in Hunt for Red October, rarely discusses his recovery, which started nearly four decades ago.

Today, he relies on the city around him.
He finds New York City incredibly relaxing. He loves simply walking around and discovering new details he’s never noticed before – like interesting features on buildings. He also enjoys spending time with friends over lunch or coffee.
In April 2024, Anne Hathaway, known for her role in The Princess Diaries, revealed she has been sober for over five years. She told The New York Times that reaching this point feels like a significant achievement.
She explained her decision simply. “I realized it wasn’t the right path for me,” she said. “It felt difficult to completely refuse, but I had to be firm. It’s like an allergy – if you have a serious reaction, you don’t try to fight it. I finally stopped questioning my instincts.”
She’s glad she made the change, explaining that it’s improved her life in every way. She described her previous state as being stuck in negativity, something she actively avoids.
When accepting the 2018 Woman of the Year Award from the Peggy Albrecht Friendly House – a program helping women recover from addiction – Moore discussed how a damaging lifestyle almost ended her career.
I think we all have moments that really change us and set us on a certain course. Early in my career, I was heading down a very destructive path. Even when I achieved things, I never felt satisfied or worthy. I didn’t value myself at all, and things quickly reached a breaking point. At the time, I didn’t understand why, but it almost felt like something bigger was helping me.
In 2012, while seeking treatment, Moore expressed gratitude to two people she hadn’t known well who essentially challenged her to change her life. She joked that they told her she needed to show up unless she wanted to die, explaining they gave her “a chance to get back on track before I ruined everything.”
Moore reflected that others recognized potential in her that she hadn’t seen in herself. She expressed deep gratitude for their belief in her, saying she wouldn’t be where she was today without their support.
Miley Cyrus revealed in 2022 that she’s been working on overcoming her addiction to Xanax since 2020. She told Rolling Stone that recovery provided much-needed stability during a difficult time. “It gave me structure when I really needed it, because I didn’t want to just sit and overthink things,” she explained. “It gave me hope.”
The singer explained that once they discovered a way to briefly block out feelings and escape the pain, they were finished with something – whatever was causing them distress.
She explained that her friends at the time didn’t discourage her drug use, and it quickly spiraled out of control, feeling like an endless, inescapable problem. During the pandemic, she realized she was struggling and felt disconnected from her emotions. She remembers being constantly drowsy and falling asleep, unable to stay awake or even keep her eyes open because of how deeply affected she was.
She eventually sought help and noted that “it took some time to get on my own two feet.”
In his 2025 documentary, Stans, Eminem opened up about his past struggles with prescription pills. He shared that an overdose and missing his daughter Hailie Jade’s birthday were turning points that led him to change his ways.
Honestly, hearing him talk about it really got to me. He described a moment of realizing what he’d been missing, and it just broke my heart. He kept pushing himself, practically yelling at himself internally, asking if he really wanted to go through life missing out again. He was incredibly harsh on himself, telling himself he had to do it, not just for his own sake, but for the people who cared about him. It was raw and vulnerable, and it really resonated with me.
Focusing on making music again was a key part of the Oscar-winning actor’s recovery from addiction.

Ugh, 1998… that summer was a nightmare, but also… pivotal. It all started when my sister came to visit. She had these painkillers, prescribed for a broken rib, and they were just… there. In the guest room closet. I remember staring at that suitcase, and honestly, I just… took them. All of them. It was awful, I know. I knew she’d notice when she packed to leave, and I couldn’t just let it happen without telling her. So I wrote her a note, confessing everything, and left it on her suitcase. When she found it, she didn’t yell, she didn’t get angry… she just held me. She told me she loved me, that she was worried sick, and that she couldn’t bear to watch me destroy myself. It was… it was the beginning of me finally facing things, honestly. A horrible, terrifying beginning, but a beginning nonetheless.

She recalled a particularly low point when she was home alone and had already finished two bottles of wine, and was about to open a third. That’s when she realized she might have a drinking problem.
I stopped completely and abruptly. That’s just how I am – I can do that. I tend to get really into things, and I always have to be mindful of my habits. It’s not necessarily what you do, but how and why you do it. It’s the underlying motivations and behaviors that matter. For example, wanting to have a lot of sex is fine, but you need to understand why you want that – that’s what’s important to consider.

Despite knowing you shouldn’t get sober for another person, actor Jason Ritter credits his relationship with Melanie Lynskey as a significant factor in his decision to stop drinking.
He realized how wonderful she was and believed she deserved someone truly great, but he didn’t think he was that person. As he shared on The Drew Barrymore Show in March 2023, he felt he was ‘a little bit too crazy’ for her.
However, as Ritter noted to TopMob News, he now sees that sobriety is ultimately a personal choice.
Looking back on when things were just starting out, I remember him saying it was simpler to pretend he was doing everything for her. Honestly, he admitted he didn’t feel much self-worth back then. It was like protecting her meant more to him than protecting himself, so saying ‘I’m doing this for her’ just felt…natural. But now, thankfully, he’s finally doing things for himself, and that makes all the difference.
The country singer has been sober for almost ten years, but reaching this point was a difficult journey. His struggle with alcohol and painkillers started shortly after high school and continued even as his career took off.

He also admitted to taking a pill or two every three to four hours.
You know, people often assume struggles automatically derail your life, but I’ve seen firsthand that’s just not true. This artist I know actually admitted to functioning better during a difficult time.

And honestly, that was the most unsettling part for him – realizing he could create so much even while going through something tough.
In late 2011, he ended up in the hospital with pancreatitis and received a stark warning: unless he stopped drinking, he likely wouldn’t live to see his next birthday. He admitted he kept delaying quitting, trying to cut back himself. “I’d tell myself, ‘Okay, just two pills today, and I’ll only drink this much from the bottle,’ and I’d even mark the bottle to keep track,” he remembered. “It would work for a couple of days, but then someone would have a party and I’d start again.”
Gilbert ultimately decided he needed help and checked into rehab on December 18, 2011. He explained, “I realized I couldn’t overcome this problem by myself.” He admitted it was frustrating and humiliating, saying, “I’m usually very determined, but this was the one thing I just couldn’t control.”
