‘Curly Sue’ actress reveals struggle with alcoholism

Former child star Alisan Porter, best known for her starring role in 1991's "Curly Sue," revealed that she suffers from alcoholism on Thursday.

Now 33 years old, and a mother of two, Porter shared her struggle to find sobriety in a blog post on her website, Lil' Mamas.

"I was miserable and overwhelmed with life," she wrote about living in New York City. "I was heartbroken and realizing that what had always worked for me in the past was NOT working at all. Not even a little bit. I felt trapped, scared, and sad and I was ready to really go for broke or get better. So, I did what every good user does and I prayed to a god I had never believed in … and then called my mom."

From there, Porter found herself in treatment and worked her way through sobriety for the next four years. "Growing pains were inevitable, I felt them often but I continued on the path because unlike my old ways, this was working," she wrote.

Although she's far removed from that lifestyle, the urge to drink still exists.

"I'm a mom now! Moms drink wine," she wrote. "Every day I work to take contrary action against that poor unfortunate girl … I know how fast this beautiful life I get to live could all be a distant memory. I get to live this way today and every day if I decide to and if I'm willing to do the work."

If nothing else propels her sobriety, it's her children, Mason Blaise Autenrieth and Aria Sage.

"Every day that I wake up to my kids clear as a bell and ready to take on another day in this new skin, I am grateful," she explained. "It's a high like no other and it only comes from me and the Universe that provides for me. Blessings are abundant in this chapter and I'm sitting pretty one day at a time for as long as possible."

Before concluding, she ponders if her children will ever ask why she never drinks. "And my answer will be simple," she wrote poignantly. "'I never want to lose myself and be able to find you.'"
