Josh Peck, who is known for starring in Nickelodeon’s famed show Drake and Josh, recently revealed his past drug addiction battle.
During his conversation with People, the 35-year-old actor admitted that he though substance abuse made him more confident.
“What is really clear is that I overdo things. And then I discovered drugs and alcohol. And that became my next chapter. I used food and drugs to numb my feelings,” he told the outlet.
“It was really a buffet," Peck continued. “I was trying to quiet that voice that woke me up every morning and told me I wasn't enough."
However, his addiction started taking away his hard-earned reputation in Hollywood.
“I had worked so hard for this thing and I was getting very close to losing it,” he said.
Peck then got himself enrolled in a treatment program to get sober.
“By walking through discomfort and by doing my best to break down the false identity I had for myself, I was able to get to the place that I was always seeking," he shared.
