Natasha Lyonne is sharing an update on her sobriety journey, two months after revealing she had relapsed.
The Orange Is the New Black star wrote via X on Thursday that he was “proud to report that this child is doing much better and is back on his feet.”
“I want to thank our recovery community and the fans who have stood by and supported me. While I hope to keep this journey private in some way, I look forward to sharing my experience, strength, and hope, of course. My heart is with everyone going through this.”
Lyon, who openly battled drug and alcohol addiction in the mid-2000s, revealed in January that he was no longer sober.
“My relapse will become even more public in the future,” Lyon, 46, wrote in a post shared via X at the time.
“Recovery is a lifelong process. To anyone who is suffering, please remember that you are not alone. Thank you for the love and smart feet.”
Lyon also told fans, “I’m doing it for Baby Bumbo,” referring to the title of an upcoming film about hockey player Sophie “Bumbo” Braverman.
The “Russian Doll” star sent a message to fans, saying, “Everyone, please be honest. Our secret is sick.”
“If no one says ‘I love you’ to you today, no matter how low we are, let’s see how our experience can help others. Keep going, kids. Don’t quit before the miracle. Make love your wallpaper in your heart. Rest is all noise and foolishness,” Rion continued.
Followers were quick to praise the “American Pie” star’s candor.
One person wrote: “Life is tough right now. I don’t think anyone in their right mind would ever wonder why this happened. You’ve had almost 20 years. You can do it all over again. Sending you lots of love. Take care and remember the rest.”
Leon replied, “Thank you, boss. If you don’t have grace, please send some love back. I might become a pothead or a nun. I’m undecided.”
“Ignore the haters. You’re amazing,” chimed in another fan, to which the Hollywood icon responded, “Thank you and I know it. I have low self-esteem but I don’t have impostor syndrome. I love you all.”
Lyon had multiple run-ins with the law and health issues while struggling with substance abuse in the mid-2000s.
However, she finally received treatment in 2006.
Since coming clean, Lyonne has returned to acting, starring in such hits as Orange Is the New Black, Russian Doll, and Poker Face.
Speaking to The Cut in 2019, the actress talked about how her setbacks helped her in the long run.
“Having such a special experience gave me a concrete perspective, even though it was a nightmare to overcome,” Lyon explained. “But I often think about it. If you had made some kind of deal with me back then and said to me, ‘This is what you have to go through.’
Having her issues made public has allowed her to be honest with herself.
Lyon told the website: “I can focus on just being a person, who I really am.”
