Tyler Posey is opening up like never before.
The Teen Wolf star recently appeared in an interview on SiriusXM’s The Jason Ellis Show, where he revealed that he’s been 71 days sober.
“I went through a rough patch,” Tyler said. “I’m sober now…I kind of fell out with everybody that I loved that I know. But now, I’m f–king—I love myself for the first time in forever. Things are really, really, really good. It’s really cool.”
“I don’t smoke weed anymore. I don’t smoke weed. I don’t drink, I don’t drug, I don’t do anything,” he continued.
He also shared that he was able to not “give a s—t at all” about the substances even when he attended a party that offered it up for guests earlier this month.
“I’m starting to get my s–t together and it feels really, really, really good,” he said.
Last week, Tyler shared how his journey to sobriety has been going during an interview with Entertainment Tonight.
“I’m now sober and completely working on myself,” he told the outlet. “There are so many tools that I have now at my disposal when anxiety happens, when depression happens. Before I got sober, I would numb myself with alcohol or smoking, and numbing away the anxiety and the depression also numbed away all the good stuff.”
On The Jason Ellis Show, Tyler opened up how his sobriety comes amid a time of growth, positivity. “And, it seemed like the right age. I’ll be 29 in a couple of days and I just didn’t want to do that anymore,” he added.
He also addressed his Instagram video in August, where he revealed that he’d been intimate with trans women, and opened up about his goal to remove the stigma surrounding sexuality.
“I woke up one morning and I saw all this stuff on Instagram about these transsexual women who were being beaten and harassed, and there were a bunch of people that were filming the whole entire interaction and laughing at them,” he explained. “Originally I was just shedding light on that, through whatever way that I could.”
“And, then I was hit with wanting just to come out myself with that whole thing and be honest about it,” he continued. “I know there’s a lot of kids that look up to me and I just want to f–king get rid of that stigma [and show] you can be whoever you want to be, get with whoever you want to get with, and it doesn’t affect you and it doesn’t affect them. The world’s f–king weird and it should be. And, there’s too much stigmas on everything and sexuality, especially.”
