Widely known for his portrayal of Spider-Man, Tom Holland says he has not touched even a drop of alcohol in the last three years. A vocal advocate of sobriety, the 29-year-old actor is now encouraging youngsters to drink less. Holland recently opened up about his struggles with drinking and what helped him in his journey.
Holland says it began in 2022 when he decided to take a break from drinking for a month. However, he then realized how alcohol had become a center of his social life, thereby deciding to quit altogether. “Every Friday after work was a write-off: Let’s get drunk and have a good time.
I didn’t have bad experiences, but I would drink enough so that I would ruin my next day,” he said in an interview with Men's Health magazine. Holland started his sobriety journey with small steps After getting an annual liver check-up, Holland said he realized that he often craved alcohol at social events and found his first month of sobriety to be quite difficult. However, he started small.
Holland said every month was a new milestone as he managed to find ways to better manage stressful situations, like navigating tense disagreements. Slowly, he has now reached a milestone after three years of being sober. “My problem was that I would have one drink and be fine, and then I would just go too far,” he said.
Holland's self-driven journey Tom says he achieved the success of sobriety on his own without any formal treatment. “I’m quite strong-willed. When I decide to.
