Brad Pitt Details AA Journey After Jolie Divorce

Brad Pitt discussed the transformative impact of Alcoholics Anonymous (AA) on his life during an appearance on Dax Shepard's 'Armchair Expert' podcast, revealing that he attended AA for about a year and a half starting in 2016 after reaching a personal low point. Pitt described feeling initially nervous about vulnerability but found the group's candidness and humor to be healing, crediting both the environment and Shepard’s honesty in meetings for his progress. He emphasized that his recovery paralleled the period of his contentious and highly publicized divorce from Angelina Jolie, which included serious allegations and a prolonged legal battle. Pitt highlighted how the experience taught him the value of honesty, humility, and surrounding himself with supportive people. He has previously acknowledged his struggles with addiction and continues to reflect publicly on personal growth and accountability. The AA journey has been central to Pitt’s ongoing commitment to self-improvement.
