Jamie Lee Curtis says sobriety has helped her gain a sense of purpose in life

In her post featuring an image of herself holding a ring that showed the inscription "JLC Twenty-Five", Curtis wrote, "25 years clean and sober. One day at a time. 9,125 of them."

"What's inside, as my old friend Adam sang, is a sense of calm, serenity, purpose, and the greatest feeling that I am not alone. That many others share the same disease and solution," she said.

"For all those struggling with addiction and shame, there are others out here who care. My hand in yours. Our hands in yours. XO JLC," she added.

Jamie Lee Curtis reflects on her 'worst day' in life that was 'almost invisible' to others

In July 2023, the 'Freaky Friday' actress candidly spoke about her past struggles with opioid addiction.

During an interview on 'The Morning Joe', Curtis said that her "worst day was almost invisible to anyone else."

"I'm lucky. I didn't make terrible decisions high or under the influence that then, for the rest of my life, I regret," she said.

"There are women in prison whose lives have been shattered by drugs and alcohol, not because they were violent felons, not because they were horrible people, but because they were addicts," she continued.

"I am incredibly lucky that that wasn't my path," she added.

In 2018, Curtis told People that her opioid addiction lasted until 1999. "I was ahead of the curve of the opiate epidemic. I had a 10-year run, stealing, and conniving. No one knew. No one," she said.

At the time, the 'Haunted Mansion' actress said that sobriety was her "single greatest accomplishment … bigger than my husband, bigger than both of my children and bigger than any work, success, failure."

"I’m breaking the cycle that has basically destroyed the lives of generations in my family," she added.
