I love Anthony Hopkins, one of my favorite actors and an amazing man. I haven't looked at his Instagram until today, but that quote is a great inspiration to remind us why it would be a very bad idea to pick up drinking. Luckily, we never need to worry about it if that "today" never comes I can't wait to see one of his latest movies that will be released in February. Thanks for this post!

Very wise words indeed. An early happy birthday to Sir Anthony too, he will be 83 on Thursday (31 December).

I just shared his video on his 45 years of recovery on my Facebook page an hour ago actually. He does speak really well.

Brilliant, Chancellor. Thank you for that steer. He is a lovely man. I've been a fan for a long time.

So he didn’t really eat his victim’s liver with fava beans and chianti. That’s spoilt the film for me now

Doing the maths, he quit at 38. What a great role model. He’s now 83 and looking good, and he knows full well he’d be long gone by now if he’d carried on drinking. I had no idea he’d been an alcoholic so have a lot of respect for him now. Imagine all the parties he’s attended with champagne and such like being in abundance. Fair play and what an inspiration.

Wow, he also gave up smoking (something I’m glad I never got into) and also lost 80lbs!

I think it's great when someone who is a celebrity speaks about alcoholism, especially in the context of having 45 years of sobriety. Thanks for the post.

It’s probably worth pointing out that you’re very unlikely to ever see an 83-year-old alcoholic
