“Today I turn 3 years of sobriety“: a new beginning for Asia Argento, who presents herself to her followers on Instagram with a very important goal, that of her victory over alcohol and drugs. Three years ago, her life changed and a path of rebirth began for her: the actress wanted to thank all the most important people, those who stood by her and supported her on her journey towards sobriety.
Asia Argento, three years sober: her rebirth
A milestone that proudly celebrates that of three years of sobriety, and which she is keen to share with her followers: Asia Argento published a post on Instagram where the Alcoholics Anonymous coin stands out in plain sight. Then there is a congratulatory card, the announcement “without alcohol and drugs for 3 years” and finally a portrait, signed by Simone Arrighi, where he appears smiling, proud, serene.
“Today I turn 3 years of sobriety – he wrote accompanying the shots -. This date is more important to me than my birthday: three years ago today my journey of rebirth began.” The actress wanted to give credit to the set of guidelines for acting in recovery from addiction on which the work of Alcoholics Anonymous is based. “With the help of my brothers and sisters and the 12 step program I am doing it, one day at a time. And this lifestyle, besides being beautiful, is much easier to follow than I imagined. I wouldn’t trade the hardest, worst day sober for the best day in use. The program works, it really works. I think different, I speak different, I dream different when sober.”
And then he wrote: “This is my almost fifty-year-old face, finally serene“, a great achievement that today sees her far from a life of excess, depression and much suffering. Asia also wanted to thank the people who stood by her on this journey: “Thanks to my children for supporting and loving me then and now, who I’m learning to understand who I really am“.
Asia Argento’s past of suffering
“I couldn’t live anymore“: Asia Argento has never made a secret of the fact that she had serious problems with alcohol, which affected her life. In Caterina Balivo’s living room she said: “she was an addiction and there is a stigma about it. Alcoholism is a disease and not a vice. It starts as such, perhaps. I started because I was shy and it helped me feel at ease with others. However, it has become a compulsion. I didn’t want to drink but I found myself doing it. No psychologist was able to help me and it kept getting worse.”
“Sometimes I drank in the morning, at home with my children and they saw me like this,” she revealed to The right time. The actress’s life is complicated, full of deep wounds, from alcoholism to depression, through her mother’s violence. “I thought about suicide many times because of my mental torment.” Today though she calls herself a survivor: life got the better of her and today Asia wants to enjoy every moment, without any more pain.
