The Brady Bunch star Maureen McCormick got candid about her sobriety journey. “I feel incredibly lucky that I found sobriety. It’s been everything to me,” McCormick, 68, exclusively told Us Weekly at the 2024 HolyRod Foundation DesignCares Gala on Saturday, September 28.
“It’s not easy in the beginning at all, but it gets better every day. It does, you know? I’m so happy to be sober and to be really clear and comfortable in my skin.” McCormick, who starred as Marcia Brady in The Brady Bunch from 1969 to 1974, has been sober for 40+ years — and credits her husband, Michael Cummings , with helping her get sober.
(Cummings and McCormick tied the knot in 1985 and share daughter Natalie, 35.) “My husband was a big part of that for me and my mom and dad and family and some really close friends. It’s an amazing journey,” she shared with Us, adding that she and Cummings are “going on 40 years” together.
“I feel very blessed to have him in my life.” McCormick previously opened up about how her parents and Cummings were the main reasons she decided to get clean . “My mom and dad, they almost turned me into the cops,” she told Us in September 2018.
“They had been trying for years and knew something was going on and I was pretty sneaky and I could hide very, very well. But then I started messing up on jobs and so many things, so I’m sure everyone in the industry at the time knew that I was flaking out.” The actress went on to explain how she met Cu.
