(10 Apr 2019) LENA DUNHAM CELEBRATES 1ST YEAR OF SOBRIETY
Lena Dunham is celebrating one year of sobriety.
The 32-year-old actress shared her milestone in an Instagram post Wednesday (10 APRIL 2019) with a photo of her flashing a thumbs-up.
The ``Girls'' creator revealed she was misusing prescription drugs during a Dax Shepard podcast in October.
Dunham writes she didn't know she had an issue with drugs for a long time because they were prescribed by a doctor, she was outwardly successful and she was not a wild partier.
She says the community of other people in recovery has brought her ``peace, joy and lasting connections.''
She encouraged others struggling with addiction to persevere and ask for help, reminding them ``you are never too far gone.''
