Tom Holland said he was “definitely addicted to alcohol” before he got sober, noting how he couldn’t get through social events without having a “few beers” at times.
"I would look back and recognize that I would go to events for work," he added,"and, you know, I can't enjoy myself until I've had a few beers, and I just felt so much pressure."
In the early days of his sobriety journey, Holland avoided areas that had alcohol but later came to a realization about his approach. "I didn't feel like I could go and not have a drink because of the stress of it," he recalled,"but then after a while I sort of was like 'Mate, you've got to pull your socks up here. You can't just live in your house all the time, you've got to go out and enjoy yourself. And if you're only enjoying yourself because you're drinking, then you really do have a problem.
Instead of drinking, Holland has found"really good replacements things," to mimic the"ritual of cracking something open and sharing it with friends and drinking it—whether it's sparkling water or a beer.""I could sleep better, I could handle problems better," Holland said."Things that would go wrong on set that would normally set me off, I could take in my stride. I had so much such better mental clarity. I felt healthier. I felt fitter.
