The actor said he challenged himself to remain sober for six months.He explained he wanted to do Dry January, a challenge where people don't drink for the first month of the year, but his reaction to stopping drinking scared him. "All I could think about was having a drink," he said."I was waking up thinking about it. I was checking the clock, 'When's it 12?' And it just really scared me. I just thought, well, maybe I have a little bit of an alcohol thing."

"If I can do two months off, then I can prove to myself that I don't have a problem," he recalled telling himself."Two months go by, and I was still really struggling. I felt like I couldn't be social. I felt like I couldn't go to the pub and have a lime soda. I couldn't go out for dinner. I was really, really struggling. And I started to really worry that maybe I had an alcohol problem.
