Jason Isaacs Marks 27 Years Sober With Candid Instagram Message

He used a reflective Instagram post to urge people struggling with addiction to ask for help.

Overview

  • Posting on Oct. 5, the 62-year-old White Lotus actor said it has been 27 years since his first full day free of drugs or alcohol.
  • He recounted avoiding temptation in 1998 by spending the night in a high street sauna and described feeling hope after getting through one night.
  • Isaacs emphasized taking recovery one day at a time and told readers that change is possible if they seek help.
  • He thanked the people who supported his recovery, stating he failed when he tried to do it alone.
  • Colleagues including Taylor Lautner, Patrick Schwarzenegger and Sam Nivola left supportive comments, and the post builds on his 2020 Big Issue interview about an addiction that began in his teens.
