My name is Charlie and I've been sober since December 2017.
In 1986 when was 20, my career got launched with the film Platoon. loved the fast-paced lifestyle fueled by drugs. booze and s*x.
In 1990 spent a month in a drug rehab center for my first time. In 1991 was involved in a scandal with an es**rt service with the madam of Hollywood, Heidi Fleiss. In 1995 I got divorced for the first time. My dad organized an intervention in 1998 after overdosed and got a DUI.
For the next decade my addiction spiraled. My struggle came, in part, because went through two divorces and had four children over the course of my time on "Two and a Half Men." Regardless, should have behaved professionally at work. I gave them my word that I'd be there to do my job to the best of my ability. That, violated.
For at least eight months or so I was having co***ne delivered every single day and was spending nearly $2,000 a day on drugs. Sometimes I'd hire es**rts and get two to three quarters of coke in one day.. When I got it I would cook it with baking soda in the bathroom to make crack.
But I took the brunt of it, did an awful lot of harm to myself. I went to rehab again in 20111, stayed sober, but later in 2016| found out was HIV positive and relapsed.
I faced constant attention, ridicule, and early on was subjected to rumors and generalization. Some of it is very surreal. To this day, I'm not sure how I created such chaos and wound up in that head space. It's as though there was some alien or demonic possession going on.
My turning point was being drunk and calling a friend to drive my daughter because couldn't. I realized that my actions were deterring me from being present for my children. I was tired of apologizing for things couldn't remember and I went back to treatment where it finally stuck.
I feel like a completely different person now, exercising and being in therapy and 12 step meetings. My amends can't just be words, they have to be actions... But it's not about making them on my terms, it's about approaching others on theirs.
