EVERYONE DESERVES RECOVERY โ
Aug. 26, 2023 – Demi Moore
While accepting the 2018 Woman of the Year Award by the Peggy Albrecht Friendly House, a residential program for women recovering from substance and alcohol abuse, Moore spoke about the โself-destructive pathโ that nearly derailed her career.
โI feel like thereโs a defining moments in our lives that shape who we are and the direction we go and early in my career, I was spiraling down a path of real self-destruction and no matter what successes I had, I just never felt good enough,โ the star recalled. โI had absolutely no value for myself and this self-destructive path, it very quickly brought me to a real crisis point and it wasnโt clear at the time the reason. Maybe it was divine intervention.โ
Moore, who sought treatment in 2012, thanked two unnamed people she โbarely knewโ for delivering something of an ultimatum to her to turn her life around. โUnless I was dead, I better show up,โ she quipped, adding that she was given โa chance to redirect the course of my life before I destroyed everything.โ
โClearly they saw more of me than I saw of myself,โ Moore noted. โAnd Iโm so grateful because without that opportunity, without their believing me, I wouldnโt be standing here today.โ
