Jamie Campbell Bower

The "Stranger Things" actor, known for playing Vecna, has long been sober, celebrating seven and a half years without alcohol in 2022 (now nine years). Bower took to X, formerly Twitter, to explain more about life after alcohol addiction. "Hurting myself and those around me who I loved the most. It got so bad that eventually I ended up in a hospital for mental health," Bower wrote. "I am now 7 1/2 years clean and sober. I have made many mistakes in my life... But each day is a chance to start again. Atone for mistakes and grow."

And he added with some inspiration for anyone strugglign with alcohol misuse. "For anyone who wakes up thinking 'oh god not again' I promise you there's a way. I'm so grateful to be where I am, I'm so grateful to be sober. I'm so grateful to be. Remember, we are all works in progress."
