Diff’rent Strokes Alum Todd Bridges Talks 32 Years of Sobriety: ‘I Couldn’t Be the Same Guy Anymore

Todd Bridges opened up about how he was able to achieve and maintain his sobriety for 32 years, saying “the mistake I don’t make is relapsing.”

The Diff’rent Strokes alum, 59, appeared on the latest episode of the Allison Interviews podcast and opened up about what finally clicked and allowed him to reach 32 years sober. “I remember when I was in the rehab program, and this light came over me and God said, ‘I’m going to put people in your path and you just listen to what they tell you, do what they tell you to do and don’t question it, and you will be sober for a long time.’ That’s exactly what happened and I finally got it.” In addition to his work on the Everybody Hates Chris animated spinoff, Bridges also recently launched a podcast, Dang!,alongside his wife Bettijo.
