Veteran actor Christopher Lloyd has detailed his decades-long struggle with alcohol and drug addiction in his new memoir, 'In My Own Time.' The 88-year-old actor reveals that his cocaine use began after a single instance at a Los Angeles nightclub, quickly becoming entrenched alongside alcohol and marijuana.
Lloyd explained that while he maintained sobriety during professional commitments, his substance use escalated significantly during downtime. Acknowledging the problem, he recognized it was endangering his career and decided to seek help.
In 1993, Lloyd entered a treatment facility in Arizona, though his initial attempt was marked by relapse. He eventually found lasting sobriety through a 12-step program, a journey he now shares openly.
