Drew Barrymore is getting candid about the unexpected challenges shes experienced in her lifelong journey to sobriety.

In a Los Angeles Times profile published Monday, the actor and daytime talk show host said that Barry Michels, her therapist of more than a decade, dropped her as a client following her 2016 divorce from Will Kopelman.

At the time, Barrymore said, Michels had expressed concern over how much her alcohol intake had grown in the wake of the split. She and Kopelman, a former actor turned art consultant, were married for about four years.

[Michels] just said, I cant do this anymore, the Santa Clarita Diet star told the Times. It was really about my drinking. I said, I get it. Ive never respected you more. You see Im not getting better. And I hope, one day, that I can earn your trust back.

Among those who were also worried for Barrymores well-being was her longtime friend and Charlies Angels co-star Cameron Diaz .

Though the experience of seeing Barrymore in pain was difficult to watch, Diaz said she never lost absolute faith in her pal.
