Josh Brolin's Memoir Reveals Sobriety Journey

Actor Josh Brolin has candidly discussed his lifelong battle with substance abuse and his journey to sobriety in his new memoir, 'From Under the Trunk.' Brolin attributes his early exposure to drugs and alcohol to his upbringing, starting with marijuana at age nine and progressing to LSD at 13, experiencing multiple relapses and stints in jail. In 2013, after a series of personal wake-up calls, including a confrontation with his family and a visit to his grandmother's deathbed, Brolin embraced sobriety. He credits his age with making it easier to maintain sobriety and has now celebrated over a decade of being sober. The pressures of fame, complicated family dynamics, and the blunt honesty from his stepmother, Barbra Streisand, have contributed to his self-awareness. Despite the challenges, Brolin affirms that sobriety has brought him more joy and clarity in life.
