Actor Steve Bastoni reckons itâs high time Australia acknowledges that, for many, alcohol has become a way of trying to cope with stress. âIt puts a BandAid on an axe wound â itâs crazy. We know from watching a bloody pot on a stove that if you suppress something, it will boil over.â
Best-known for roles in
Police Rescue and
Neighbours, Bastoni is happy to speak on the record about his struggles with addiction. Until nearly 40, he was trying to self-medicate with various substances. The turning point was having his son and finding recovery. âThe first step of that is obviously admitting youâve got a problem, and the second part is reaching out for help â which is the hardest part.â
