"Yeah, I'm sober," said this former B list mostly movie actress who is now thisclose to a comeback thanks to her hit almost television show.
The actress said this while drinking shots of Jager. When asked what she was doing she said that she gives herself one day a week to drink or she can't make it. She says she has done this for the past few years and never broken her one day a week of drinking.

Healthy way of doing it.
Robin Wright?
Jessica Lange
Almost tv show a reference to AHS being categorized as a miniseries
Wouldn't Lange be a former A lister, though?
Jessica has already made her comeback, and I would also consider her former A. Not that I have a better guess!
Natasha lyonne? I don't know if she was at the show or after parties but her show Orange is the New Black would definitely qualify as "almost television" since it's on Netflix.
Think you got it.
Good one Jeannie!
Whoever it is is practicing a harm minimisation.
Robin Wright was on House of Cards, also a Netflix "almost" show, yes?
But I can't picture her chugging Jaeger!
I thought Natasha Lyonne was a junkie. For some people, alcohol is the only way they can lay off the heroin.
I know people who can turn it on and off like that. Natasha was a junkie but this is probs her. Drinking for junkies is almost like being sober (sort of like blow jobs aren't having sex.)
Whatever works, I guess.
Agreeing on the Natasha Lyonne, and the part about her being a ex (?) junkie, and that many hard drug users do this to stay off smack. The problem is, most aren't very successful with it. Good luck, whoever you are, and if it's you, Natasha, love you girl!
FTR I have never been a big fan of that AA mantra about having to completely stop drinking forever and ever and ever. It's that "forever" part which is the toughest hurdle to cross and probably the reason most people fall off the wagon. Maybe if we knew we could have a drink once in a while it would be easier to stay sober the rest of the time.
Whomever this actress is, it sounds like what she is doing is working well for her, so brava!
Um... okay? I guess? If it works for her and she's not doing anything that destructive/dangerous on that day?
Of course, didn't Robin Williams recently discuss falling off the wagon and how it was one mini bottle on day and within like a week he was out of control?
@Basil - You're describing the harm reduction model, or Moderation Management. Controversial, but I believe in it also.
In Australian AAOD industry, it's known as harm minimisation. And for some, it works.
Eh, I'm skeptical. My ex used to "only" drink on the weekends, and because he never touched a drop during the week he "wasn't an alcoholic" like everybody else in his family. But holy hell! he'd start Friday night and be plastered until Sunday afternoon. He's an alcoholic, dammit!
If you were married to Sean Penn as long as Robin Wright was you might chug Jaegermiester.
part of the defintion of being an addict is if your behaviour is interfering with your health, your work, your personal relationships, your normal functioning of day to day life
I think getting totalled from Friday to Sunday afternoon every single week qualifies, esp if you are no longer in college
I am a bit skeptical about alcoholic cheat days like they have for people in diets because for those that have the gene for alcoholism and once that addiction has been fully realize, you really can't just have one drink without being able to stop, your brain turns off that switch or so I have heard
Alcoholism isn't defined by how often you drink, but how you drink when you drink.
In other words, whose the alcoholic, the guy who only has one martini a day and stops at one? Or the guy who drinks once a year to the point of blacking out? If you said the once a year guy, then you'd be right.
I don't know about the forever part being impossible, my Dad's kept his sobriety for 36 years...
Lisa Kudro??
"Actress that is this close to a comeback" She was in the show the comeback
"Her hit almost television show" She's on a web series called "web therapy"
That's why most people in AA will tell you they can't think of it in terms of "forever and ever." They take it "one day, one hour, one minute at a time"
