Celebrities That Struggle With Substance Abuse or Mental Health Issues

We've included this section on well-known stars who have struggled with addiction because we believe it's important to recognize that addiction affects a wide range of people from all walks of life. "Well, if I was only more successful at work, if I made more money, if I was prettier, if more people liked me, then I could be happy, then I could be sober," we think. The pursuit of happiness is a difficult task. Consider the fact that the people listed below are beautiful, famous, and wealthy, but they were still unhappy.

Happiness and contentment are not the same thing. You must learn to be content in the present moment and be grateful for what you have. No matter how much or how little it is, you must have deep, meaningful relationships, and we believe a relationship with God is also very important as it helps you nourish your inner spirit and soul.
