EDIE
Edie Falco has been proudly sober since she was 29 years old. The Sopranos star, now 58, quit drinking nearly three decades ago after realizing that she was overdoing it. Falco told The Guardian that she started drinking as a way of overcoming her shyness as a young theater student as she tried to keep up with her more outgoing classmates. "I was a non-drinker for years, then I had my first drink at college and I found nirvana," she said. "It was the answer to all my problems, and the cause of all my other problems." Falco said that she mostly stuck with alcohol rather than drugs, primarily due to the cost. "Only because I didn't have any money," she said. "I was a big fan of cocaine if it was around, but I could never afford any, and marijuana just gave me anxiety."
