“I don’t talk about it much,” he told the podcast hosts on May 1. “I talk about it from time to time when it makes sense. I have been sober for 39 years. I got sober on February 23, 1985.”
“I had a major problem every day for two years,” the actor continued. Not that easy. “I think I snorted cocaine into unconsciousness. We get used to it. What I mean is, cocaine was like coffee back then. Everyone took it all day. »
The 66-year-old star then admitted that she developed a heavy drinking habit shortly after quitting the drug.
“Because I stopped doing drugs, my drinking increased,” he said. “We tell you this is going to happen. And that’s what happened. I just started drinking.”
The actor and comedian added that despite this success, he still missed alcohol.
“What I miss is drinking,” he admitted. “I don’t miss drugs at all. But I miss alcohol.”
Alec Baldwin still found another way to have a good time.
“New York relaxes me,” he said during the episode. “I walk around and see sides of the city I’ve never seen before. I look at a building and I think, “My God, I never noticed that about that building, those doors.” I have lunch and coffee with my friends.”
