“It’s interesting. I didn’t one day wake up and say, ‘I’m giving up drinking'. I, just like many Brits, had a very, very boozy December,” theactortold Shetty. “I’ve always been able to drink a lot. […] And I decided to just give up for January - I just wanted to do Dry January. And all I could think about was having a drink. It was all I could think about. I was waking up thinking about it. I was checking the clock, when’s it 12 PM? It just really scared me. I was just like, ‘Wow, maybe I have a little bit of an alcohol thing.’”
At that point, he decided to remain sober throughout February, too, but after the second month passed, he found he was still “really struggling” and felt like he couldn’t go out to social events.
“I started to really worry that maybe I had an alcohol problem,”Hollandcontinued. “So I decided that I would wait until my birthday, which is June 1. I said to myself, ‘If I can do six months without alcohol, then I can prove to myself that I don’t have a problem.’
