Kristin Davis (Sex And The City) "Im an alcoholic"

Saying we need to removed the shame and stigma of being a drunk

“I don’t think I would be alive,” she shared. “I’m an addict. I’m a recovering alcoholic. If I hadn’t found acting…acting is the only thing that made me want to ever get sober. I didn’t have anything that was that important to me other than trying to dull my senses.”

Davis, now 53, once feared her struggle would mean she wouldn’t live to see 30, but being part of a major production led her down the path of sobriety.

Hasn't she been talking about this for years?

Acting may have saved her, but she made the acting world suffer.

She's still the most beautiful of the SATC ladies to me.

She is by far the most beautiful of the SATC cast. When was she drinking?

Agreed, R6 and R8. I read this and thought, "There's hope for heavy drinkers, after all!" because she looks amazing.

She gave up drinking over 30 years ago. There was a question whether she was really an alcoholic. Some say, like many young people, she was just a heavy drinker at the time. She just self diagnosed.

How much did that drunk Kim pay her to say this?

I loved how she played Brooke on Melrose.

She was great on Melrose.

I always thought she was a closeted lesbian. Might have something to do with why she was drinking - if she is, must be pretty self-loathing to stay closeted in your 50s (“confirmed bachelorette”).

I'm a fake Fendi! And an alcoholic!

HATES her pear-shaped figure. Always demands to be photographed from the waist up. I'm sure that contributed to the drinking

I was just looking at IMDb. Kristin was on ER in its first season.

She was in only one episode R19.

I know R20, I was just surprised. I must have missed her during my relatively recent watch of that season.

This is her way of saying - if she drinks again, this is KIM CATTRALL'S FAULT.

Is that a quote from Kristin R25? It would read better if it were 'remove the shame and stigma of being an alcoholic.'

She could play Sharyl Sandberg in the "Lean In, Cunt" biopic.

Nah, her face is not ratty enough.

I was an alcoholic at 18 at 28 and eventually quit drinking at 38. I wish I quit earlier. Trust me alcoholics know we're drunks. (at any age)..I just didn't want to stop. Good for her for stopping early.
