2019-09-05T12:55:25.308Z


Brad Pitt was alcoholic for years. After the separation of Angelina Jolie he managed the cut: through meetings with the Anonymous Alcoholics. The actor now speaks of a liberating experience.



The separation of Angelina Jolie had for Brad Pitt also at least a good side. Because the actor began to face his addiction problem. "I drank too much," he said to himself. But the days when he could not survive a day without alcohol or joint are over now.

From his purification after the separation from Jolie, the 55-year-old has now reported to the "New York Times". He went to Alcoholics Anonymous for a year and a half, Pitt told the newspaper. "There are all those men around you, open and honest in ways I've never heard of," Pitt said.

Brad Pitt on his therapy: "It was really very liberating"

It was a safe place with little condemnation. Also, none of the group Pitts have sold stories to the media.

Jolie cried in the shower

In the fall of 2016, Angelina Jolie filed for divorce - two years after her wedding and eleven years after getting to know the set of the movie "Mr. and Mrs. Smith". For months, the relationship had gone downhill, Jolie said. The separation was the "hardest time". "And only now do we start to breathe again."

As a reason for the divorce, Jolie had stated that Pitt had drunk in the summer of 2016, a dispute with his adopted son Maddox had. Pitt and Jolie have three adopted and three biological children.

Now, Pitt said, "It was really liberating to expose your own ugly sides, which is very valuable." About the alcohol problem itself, Pitt said, "I had done things as far as I could." He finally gave himself a ban on drinking.

Jolie also suffered from the breakup - and rushed to do housework. "I want to make a real breakfast and run the house, that's my passion," the 44-year-old said some time ago.

She had moved to a luxury property in Los Angeles with the six children. But before them she held back her feelings: "I do not want them to worry about me, I think it's very important to cry in the shower and not in front of them."
