Dax Shepard has always been candid about his struggles with addiction, and he doesn’t hold back when discussing the subject with his kids.
The 46-year-old actor revealed back in September that he had suffered a relapse after being sober for 16 years, and during a recent interview with
Chelsea Clinton for her
Lincoln and six-year-old
Delta — about his addiction.
Shepard attends AA meetings every Tuesday and Thursday, and, in answer to Lincoln’s question as to why he needed to go, Dax answered bluntly, “Because I’m an alcoholic, and if I don’t go there, then I’ll drink, and then I’ll be a terrible dad.”
