After several devastating tragedies and years of battling addictions, Kelsey Grammer says he has finally found “a sense of fulfillment and joy” in life. The ‘Cheers’ and ‘Fraiser’ actor has been through his fair share of addictions: “I’m an addictive personality. I was addicted to danger and dangerous girls, and it took me to things that were very destructive for me. I liked the addictions. I’m not going to lie about it. But I got in too deep. I probably would’ve died if I hadn’t stopped.”
one reason for his self-destructive behavior, he says, was the tragic death of his father, who was shot when Grammer was 12 years old, and his sister, Karen, who was abducted and killed while the future TV star was studying acting in New York. In 1996, the actor spent time at the Betty Ford Clinic and has been sober ever since. Kelsey now considers himself “a very lucky man. Somehow, love just came out of the world toward me and, with it, a sense of fulfillment and joy.”
