On completing 3 years and 9 months of sobriety, Pooja Bhatt took to Instagram to talk about her journey in an attempt to inspire at least one person out there who is struggling as she did. Her note also deals with the stigma attached to people with addictive behaviour, with everyone trying to criminalise it without attempting to understand why someone used a substance, to begin with. Her note further read, 'Alcohol is a drug, and was my drug of choice. Just because it is socially acceptable does not mean it is not. A fractured society can only heal & evolve when we attempt to ‘understand’ instead of constantly standing in judgement. When we empathise instead of vilify. Until then and even beyond, I will continue to speak from a place of compassion...So help me God!'
