Well done Sir Anthony Hopkins. I'm 31 years sober and it was the most important day of my life.
Any addict of any kind who's healthy, happy and no longer shaming themselves for who they are is a big win so Well done to Hopkins, well done to anyone else.
Congratulations Sir! I am soon to be 4 years sober in March and at 35 years old, I returned to education to do a degree in Law & Criminology....drinking is more dangerous to health than you realise and if I hadn't nearly bled out internally from organ failure and quit there and then......I wouldn't be writing this........
Bravo! I was always told, one day at a time..... I hope your life continues to get better and better, sobriety has taught me that there is nothing better and I have never been happier in my life, as long as I keep sober, everything is alright! Love to you!
Que dieu vous garde heureux 😊
"Be Kind to Yourself" and "Live YOUR Life" - Amen Anthony!
Happy 47th Rebirth-day, Sir Hopkins!
25 days ago was my 2 year rebirth-day :)

Well done Sir Anthony I wish you well in mind and body
Be kind to yourself!
These are wonderful words from Anthony - stay away from toxicity and “cancellers”, pretty much spend less time on the internet/Twitter around miserable people
We all make mistakes, do your best and be kind to yourself and others as much as you can
Sir Anthony your Words Of Wisdom are like building blocks and they can encourage people of all ages to enjoy a better,healthy, , and happy life. Your inspiration goes a longway, and will make the world a better place. Thank You for reaching out. Marion Coleman, Athens, Georgia.
Beautiful Message Anthony... Awesome Testimony ❤🎉❤🎉❤
Sir, you can't imagine what your message means to me
Well said Anthony ......... !!!!! 💯♥️
"Be kind to yourself"... Hard to do when in despair, but this is the best bit of advice going in to 2023.
Congratulations on your sobriety Mr Hopkins. Wise words. Happy, healthy New Year to you x
I am sending you, Sir Anthony Good Vibes, and Best Wishes because I want you to be healthy, and happy.. Your fan, Marion Coleman, Athens, Georgia. USA
What a humble man! Congratulations Sir!!!! Well done!

God bless you Mr Hawkins that inspires me I will be sober 23 years February 5th even when times get tough and they have been tough lately but the most important thing I didn't go back to my old misfortune of drinking God bless you and congratulations you're my favorite actor
Thank you. I can celebrate my daughter’s long life ahead because she went into detox today at just 31 years old!
Thank you for all that you do.
Happy Birthday and Happy New Year, Sir Anthony Hopkins! :)
Thank you, Anthony and happy sobriety birthday!
I can replay this all day
Congratulations sir all the best ❤
Happy New year to you! Sir Anthony Hopkins
It's been hard as hell at times to stay off booze; holiday season especially has made it hard. Giving myself kindness being the hardest part for sure in the process. Doing it, starting 2/15/2020 has been quite the ride. Oddly, during a pandemic it made it easier. Getting used to the stronger emotional responses across the board I've had, and reconnecting with people including myself? That's also hard but I'm still doing it on my own. 2 slip-ups, but pretty small comparatively. Both times it didn't work. Just made me feel shitty and left me with a horrible headache. Lesson learned so I find it still to be a win. Don't let people put you down; least of all YOURSELF. Congratulations to Anthony. 47 years successfully sober is a long long time for a person and quite the achievement.
I agree with everything you say....especially with the pandemic...I just found that because everyone was in lockdown that it was almost like the world had been grounded and you didnt have people coaxing you out to bars and clubs!
@@Hodgeyp3 Never was one for bars exactly but I lost my open mic nights and playing music with people. That hurt. But we all lost that. My close friend who hosted it was burned out and wanted out however so...I understood later. Good on him for doing that, getting sober himself also, and becoming an EMT. His brother is my bff. We re-connected after that fateful evening (bit of a falling out with both of them really) when I realized I needed to stop drinking or face a really awful life...or death really I suppose. Either way things are mostly back to "normal" but...is that really applicable to say for us all? Guess we're all just transcending. We go from here haha.
One day at a time my friend, you are never alone and play that tape through, love to you!
Beautiful Anthony, this chat has really made my day!
Congrats!!! This is a big achievement 👏👍👍👍. Also, the role of pope Benedict was soo well played. Masterpiece! I wish you a Happy New Year!!!
You certainly made the promises come true 47 years God bless you
Sir Anthony Hopkins, you are indeed a wise and wonderful human being. I grew up with an alcoholic father and believe that if he had heard such words of wisdom from a good soul like yourself, then perhaps he too may have been able to change his life for the better. Love from down-under (Australia).🙃
Sir Anthony , firstly have a great birthday.
I have just finished watching "Shadowlands" on BBC2. A wonderfully acted film.
Then for whatevever reason, this video message of yours popped onto my mobile phone. Only lastnight I finished reading a small book called "The Easy way to stop drinking". I pray that in years to come I can join you in saying I have remaind sober.
Finally from one Welsh boy to another, wishing you and yours a peaceful and prosperous New Year🏴.
LLONGYFARCHIADAU. Blywddyn newydd dda.

Old girl of 58 xxxx
Many many old people also get bullied "Sir" Anthony. In retirement homes for example. They don`t count? You always address young pleople. What`s wrong with you? Other tha that I admire you and you inspire despite me being 24 years sober and already 62 yo.
Anthony Hopkins is the most active old actor ever lived. amazing
Doing Dry January and thinking of making it permanent....this message helps..The struggle is real! So many social norms, habits to break, etc.
Just thought you might need to hear this; I finally was talked into going to AA from a counselor that I had during a court ordered session with alcohol counseling indefinitely until I was cleared by the counselors for a drunken spree, I did..... And... it was what helped me..... I didn't feel comfortable at first and found speaker meetings easier.... but kept going.... I now have friends from there who like to do things and stay sober, and my life is better than it ever was, no matter what happens, it is better, and I am happier and at peace. Love to you! (I also got let off of having to go to counseling, lol.... after months, which I did learn a lot there too).
I am still hanging in there and loving this new life!
God bless you
An expert on acting! Great message
SIR ANTHONY, YOU HAVE THE RIGHT RECIPE FOR HUMANITY: YOU KNOW HOW TO TOUCH THE HEART AND WARM THE SOUL.

He has found a life where no one bullies him. Not even himself
Thank you
لا أجد ما أعبر به أنت حقا مبدع حقيقي وأنا عاشقة لشخصك دمت
Man, I dread the day he finally passes. The world will be so much worse without him.
Everything in *moderation*
Agree.
51 years here
Anyone would be damn foolish to bully Hannibal Lecter.
All jokes aside, amen Sir Anthony Hopkins!

A legjobb szinész
I need help
Well Hannibal had a chianti wine😂
Értem.
Only really intelligent people say "I'm not an expert in anything. I know nothing"
*Does Kermit the Frog flailing*
Rehab is for quitters.
Power to Ukraine force's 😁
Llongyfarchiadau,penblwydd bapus a blywddyn newydd dda.
Yo Tone, you have way too much time on your hands, you are way too philosophical. You need to take the pipe and smoke it. Chill bruh.
Might as well get pissed mate
Who cares my grandpa is 89 and smokes and drinks everyday....
No joke
Your grandpa doesn't represent the whole of planet earth.
Who cares that about ur grandpa ?
I don't think he really cares what's your grandfather does he's speaking for himself I bet Mr Hawkins don't really care what you think nor do I he's doing the right thing he could probably have someone else get into recovery and everybody's not like your grandpa so stop comparing cuz nobody really cares about your grandfather smoking or drinking that's his decision
My mum smoked and raised 4 kids and I watched her die, 13 days after being told on Xmas Eve she had lung cancer, scared and bewildered, at age 48. No joke.
Begs the question why you watched and commented on this
GODS BLESS HIM, THANKS SIR
WONDERFUL, SIR. KEEP DOING ALL YOUR EXTRAORDINARY WORK BECAUSE I ABSOLUTELY ADORE YOU. YOU ARE TRUELLY LEGENDARY AT YOUR CRAFT.
おめでとうございます🎉😂
