Headline: Anthony Hopkins celebrates 50 years of sobriety

Caption: In an Instagram video posted on Monday, the Oscar-winning actor shared that he had achieved the major milestone, just two days before he turns 88. To begin, Hopkins recalled how he decided to stop drinking after he was nearly involved in a car crash around the Christmas period back in 1975. "My only problem was I had too good a time because 50 years ago today I was nearly killed by driving my car in a drunken blackout,". "That's the way it was. But I realised at that point that I was having too much fun. It was called alcoholism."
