Al Pacino is opening up about his sobriety journey and revealed that he used to suffer from blackouts before changing his life around.
In his new memoir, “Sonny Boy,” which is set to be released on October 15, the actor talked about his struggles with alcohol and drug addiction, which came from his dealing with fame. “I started to forget things at a very young age- they called them blackouts, so I got nervous.”
He also shared that he attended Alcoholics Anonymous, however, it wasn’t a right fit for him. “It’s a great place, but it was not for me.” Pacino went on to give credit to his late mentor Charlie Laughton who played a significant role in his sobriety journey.
The book also touches on his health struggles, his upbringing, and how becoming a father changed his life. He recently welcomed his fourth child at the age of 83.
