Tiffany Haddish, the renowned comedian, recently took a bold step towards a healthier lifestyle by quitting all substance use. She’s been sober for over two months and claims it hasn’t been a challenging transition for her. However, her decision to quit substances wasn’t entirely personal. It came after a court order following a DUI arrest.
Haddish went public with her sobriety on Amanda de Cadenet’s show, “The Conversation.” She discussed her newfound sober lifestyle, revealing that she hasn’t consumed alcohol, smoked weed, or used any substances in about 72 days.
“I have never been a big user of substances anyway, so I’m cool with giving all that up” – Haddish
The decision to quit substances wasn’t entirely voluntary. Haddish revealed that a judge ordered her to abstain from all substances after a DUI arrest. This court mandate was a significant factor in her sobriety journey.
Haddish’s legal troubles began when she was arrested in November after police found her asleep in her car, parked awkwardly on the street. She was later released and took the incident in stride, even joking about it during a comedy set.
Eventually, Haddish struck a plea deal in her DUI case, pleading no contest to a lesser charge of reckless driving in February.
Haddish admitted she would have contested her DUI charge if not for the stress it was causing her. She explained that the stress was taking a toll on her health, leading her to accept the plea deal instead.
Despite the circumstances that led to her sobriety, Haddish’s decision to quit substances is commendable. It shows her willingness to comply with the court order and make a positive change in her life.
“Congrats on your sobriety, Tiffany!!!” – Fans and well-wishers
