Kelly Preston Reveals She Got Sober To Be A Better Parent
May 11, 2012 10:20 AM
Apparently Kelly Preston left her partying ways behind after becoming a parent!
The Jerry Maguire star recently taped a segment for Lifetime's The Conversation With Amanda de Cadenet and revealed she got sober to be a better mother.
"With drinking, I just decided that I wasn't at my best. There were times where I drank too much, for sure," she explained of her decision to give up alcohol.
The 49-year-old mother of three has gotten wiser over the years, but back in the day she pushed the limit of excess. "Im so different, too. Now I don't drink anymore. I don't smoke anymore. I don't do drugs anymore. All of those come with an 'anymore.' I used to do everything and a lot of everything."
The actress has been through her share of hardship, so we commend her for finding the strength to persevere. Her eldest son Jett died from a seizure in January 2009, and she is currently dealing with her husband John Travolta's sexual harassment controversy.
The Grease actor is accused of inappropriate behavior with numerous male masseuses, but the allegations have yet to be proven accurate.
Her interview with de Cadenet was recorded before the scandal erupted.
Stay strong, Miss Preston!
Kelly Preston was devastated after her 16-year-old son Jett's untimely death in January 2009, but the actress credits her husband, John Travolta, her family and close friends and - most importantly - her religion for helping cope.
