Desperate Housewives actor Shawn Pyfrom wrote an open letter, revealing his drug and alcohol addiction.
The 27-year-old posted on his Tumblr blog: ”I just read the news about Mr. Philip Seymour Hoffman, and against the advice of others; i had to write this open letter. I can’t stay quiet anymore about this… I am an alcoholic and a drug addict. And yesterday I celebrated five months of sobriety. I’m relatively new to being sober, considering the scope of time that I’ve been an addict.
”My head is still spinning from the news. I even question whether or not I should publish this, as I type out these words. But if these words can encourage someone to hold on to their life… to keep from ever using, or to find the strength to stop; then it’s more important that these words are shared.”
Shawn didn’t mention what drugs he had been taking, but he did write how it all affected his life.
”For several years, I lived for drugs. I thought more about using, than i thought about any other ”pleasures”. I put myself in places I never would have ended up, otherwise, for the sake of getting high. There are countless nights of blacking out, and making poor decisions as a result of my overusing,” he added.
That was a great revelation from Shawn Pyfrom. I am happy he has found the focus to get back to sobriety and to write about his addiction. This was a great step for the bester future without drugs and alcohol. People, realize that this is just the way out of the reality and problems, but indeed a greater problem itself. Drugs and alcohol fog your mind and make you die!
