Charlie Sheen Shares Sobriety Risks After Eight Years Clean

Charlie Sheen, now 60, has opened up about his tumultuous past with addiction in a new memoir and Netflix documentary, sharing candid insights into his struggles with drugs and alcohol during the peak of his career. Despite earning $1.8 million per episode on "Two and a Half Men," Sheen's erratic behavior fueled by cocaine, crack, and other substances nearly cost him his life, with one overdose and a close brush with death among his darkest moments. He credits his sobriety for the past eight years to a deep desire to be a better father to his five children and emphasizes the importance of willingness in recovery. Sheen admits he keeps a mental list of his worst actions to deter himself from relapsing and believes that the next drug hit could be fatal. While he continues to work on forgiving himself and dealing with occasional shame, Sheen describes his current life as a reset rather than a comeback, focusing on taking each day as it comes and maintaining a healthy lifestyle. He remains open to returning to acting when the timing feels right but prioritizes his ongoing recovery and personal growth.
