Sober almost 38 years; life still throws you curveballs but the reservoir is deeper to draw from when it happens. Little things are joyous and fun. Go Anne

I just love Anne Hathaway ❤ Not only is she beautiful, she’s so positive and so proud of this wonderful movie 🍿

[MuppetCore]

And I’m grateful she chose that dress. ❤️‍🔥

[DanielFrohlich]

She is the most UNDERRATED actress and clearly so down to earth SAD how few talk about her!!

[chibi_rabbit]

That's such a difficult achievement. Good for her. She looks amazing!

The common guess (used to be me included!) is that someone has to have hit “rock bottom” or have “had a problem” in order to qualify for sobriety!

I’m 6 mos sober and to any outsider (even my husband), I seemed like a “normal drinker”…

But i started to depend on it too much, In social settings, the only way to “have fun”, and i realized one day I was giving it too much power in my mind.

ANYONE can become sober, if you feel it’s not actually ADDING anything to your life!

Trust me, if I can do it, you can too!!

This is coming from someone who couldn’t even FATHOM the thought of ever going “dry January” ❤

My life is so much fuller now, and don’t need it just cause it’s socially expected of me, or the only way I’m “having fun” with friends.

sorry for the longevity…just on a whim, sharing my message!

Five months sober; tried twice before the last few years, but this time stuck. So, so happy for Anne!

She’s such a sweetheart and beautiful I loved her has catwoman especially when it’s 20 years after Michelle Pfeiffers catwoman who I also think them two are joint first because both play it so different but so much better than a lot of others x❤

[arontamas]

I love drinking way too much, I mean it's under control, meaning I maintain my surroundings fine but sometimes sobriety is the solution to a lot of issues because getting drunk may put you in a great mood temporarily but on the long term it's pretty destructive...

[cesarsalgadosalgado]

Ms Anne please please return as Catwoman i hope batman returns for another movie with Catwoman again with MS anne

[OurUnderdog]

If only I chose sooner than later about being sober.

[lilibethvilella]

Obsessed w this movie! ❤️ I’m living my best HEALED life post divorce. Published a book on finding true WHOLENESS after divorce called “THE SUN ALWAYS PIERCES THROUGH”

[Chris-hpgg]

Whatever you do, stay away from that first drink.😂

[redbunnytail]

I like her in 'elf' movie, where she have white hair and white armor and cover in blood, as warrior. There this awesome cinematic in 'Elden Ring, ' which win 'Game of Year' in 2022. Lunar Princess Ranni is this demi god. And in this cinematic, she like 12 year old and cover in blood. I imagine that she this great demi goddess warrior, kill 10, 000 enemy. Sit there, motionless, as you kneel to her in child form and place ring on her finger. It like you understand this no ordinary bond. Anything to keep Anne Hathaway from doing another 'dubious' movie. I just wonder if she like acting at all, or if she ever do. She say she single out and have a lot of help along the way. Maybe she wanna be someone else, like born into another world. Basic actress skill. No one can compare.

It's just about being mature.

Not about being comfortable in your own skin at 40 vs 20.

We have so many strange ways to say things in 2024

[kareneide]

I wasn’t aware she had a problem with that.

[tpop]

Why is it all or nothing with these individuals?
What about moderation?

[pellybrains]

I can’t stand her clearly she’s on something sure she says she’s alcohol free but I doubt drug free 😂
