Tom Holland admitted that he felt lucky to have discovered he was addicted to alcohol and was able to quit before it was too late.
In the latest episode of his podcast On Purpose, Tom Holland detailed how he realized he was an alcoholic.
“I tried to commit to not drinking for a month but all I could think about was drinking,” Tom Holland recounted the moment he realized he needed to quit before it was too late.
Tom Holland tried quitting drinking in January 2022 to join a campaign to stop drinking at the time. However, the 27-year-old star quickly realized that he could not control this desire.
“I woke up and immediately thought about alcohol. I checked my watch and it really scared me,” the British actor confessed. “So I decided to punish myself and not drink alcohol for two months.”
After 2 months, Tom Holland felt extremely miserable when using alcohol. Finally, the Marvel star decided it was time to quit. Up to now, Tom Holland has been successful in not drinking alcohol for the past 6 months.
“I sleep better, I deal with problems better. I feel more mentally relaxed, healthier. And I gradually realized why I let myself become a slave to alcohol. I don’t understand why I used to be such a heavy drinker,” Tom Holland continued.
Also in the interview, Tom Holland confessed that this was not the first time the actor had tried to quit drinking. In the past, he had tried many times to quit but failed.
