Lena Dunham is celebrating two years "clean and sober".
The ‘Girls’ star is marking 24 months of sobriety and admits back then, she was so "afraid to change".
She wrote: "Today I have 2 years clean and sober. It’s a miracle I can’t take for granted no matter how hard I try. Two years ago I didn’t think I needed to get sober. But a quiet voice inside me said, ‘lay it down for a moment’ and then other, louder voices helped me keep it up. To those voices – you know who you are and thank you x infinity … My heart pounds thinking of who I was two years ago. I was afraid to change but what actually happened was that I became myself again, a young and carefree self, a self who was clear in intention and bold in action and – most of all – free. We know, now more than ever, that we all need to be free. When I first got sober, people often told me it was the best choice they’d ever made, the achievement of which they’re most proud. That seemed crazy – NOT doing something was the best thing they’d ever done???"
And the 33-year-old actress and writer has promised "real help" even for those who are "beyond hope".
She added: "But they were right – not using and removing secrecy and self harm from my repertoire, has given me a life beyond my wildest dreams. Not because it’s perfect, but because it is really and truly mine *** There is real help available for people who feel they are beyond hope. So many people are waiting for you across a shaky but time tested bridge *** Now here is a picture of me smiling just because 🙂 (sic)"
