The World

Carrie Fisher’s not necessarily an expert on sobriety ? her own struggles with alcohol abuse are explored in her one-woman show “Wishful Drinking.” But as a recovering alcoholic, she does have plenty of insight on the topic. We’ll speak with her later in the show, but the actress and writer gives us a few choice insights on sobriety in the meantime.
