Stephen Baldwin recently reflected on a turbulent chapter in his life during an interview, candidly discussing his experiences with drug use. The actor, known for his prominent Hollywood family, shares that his experimentation with drugs began in high school, with cocaine use starting around the ninth-grade prom. This period extended into a five-year span after high school, where Baldwin admitted to indulging in rock-and-roll-style partying. However, despite the chaotic nature of those years, Baldwin hesitates to label himself an addict. He emphasizes that during that time, underlying factors like the illness and subsequent death of his father contributed to his behavior. Baldwin describes the period as more of a mental health struggle intertwined with loss rather than a full-blown addiction. He acknowledges that this phase never overtook his life, as he eventually achieved sobriety, crediting his ability to maintain control and not let drug use consume him fully. Baldwin's story serves as a reflective journey through early-life challenges and the path to personal recovery.
