Lucy Hale talks about her journey to living without alcohol

Lucy Hale, who recently celebrated her second year of sobriety, opened up about living a life without alcohol.

On Thursday’s episode of Drew Barrymore’s podcast, the 34-year-old actress revealed what she has learned about herself during these two years.

"Something happens at the two-year mark, at least for me, I think,” Lucy said.

The Pretty Little Liars star mentioned, “I feel like in the first year, I was like, ‘Okay, stay safe, stay home.”

“Certain elements of my life fell away, new people came into my life. But I felt like in my second year, I learned, I was having fun, I gave a new definition to fun,” she added.

“It just looks different these days,” Lucy told Drew. “I was going out, I was going to dinners, I was going to events. I wasn’t avoiding anything.”

In February 2023, Lucy got candid about her struggles with alcohol on an episode of The Diary of a CEO podcast.

During the discussion, she disclosed, “I've been working on getting sober since I was 20. I just held on to the belief that the real Lucy came out when she was drinking.”

“It also quieted my mind ... my brain just doesn't shut off, and it's exhausting. I was a textbook binge drinker, blackout, wouldn't remember what I did or what I said, which is scary,” she revealed.
