Actress Brooke Mueller recently shared her journey to nearly nine months of sobriety on the 'Hollywood Raw' podcast. Mueller, 47, emphasized the challenges she faced in overcoming addiction, acknowledging that many individuals with her level of addiction do not succeed in recovery. She expressed gratitude for her sober community in Malibu and credited her commitment to a program based on the 12 steps for her progress.
During the podcast, Mueller revealed the significant financial cost of her multiple rehab stints over the years, stating that she had spent millions of dollars on treatment. She highlighted the misconception she held about the need for expensive rehab facilities and shared her positive experience at an insurance-only rehab center that focused on genuine support rather than catering to her status.
Mueller's decision to seek treatment in December 2023 made headlines following the tragic death of actor Matthew Perry, whose cause of death was linked to ketamine. While Mueller did not address Perry's death directly, reports indicated a connection between the two stemming from their interactions in rehab.
Despite the challenges she faced, Mueller spoke about her successful co-parenting relationship with ex-husband Charlie Sheen and her amicable rapport with his other ex-wife, Denise Richards. She emphasized the importance of maintaining positive relationships for the well-being of their family.
