March 11, 2025 – The actress, 71, opened up to Christina Applegate and Jamie-Lynn Sigler on the March 11 episode of their podcast, MeSsy, saying she “started using drugs and alcohol when I was really young, when I was 15.” “I’m a person that for probably the first 30 years of my life, didn’t deal [with] s—t,” said Sagal. “I medicated myself to where I didn’t really deal with my emotion. My parents died, I had cancer in my 20s, I mean, a bunch of s—t happened, and I didn’t really deal with it. And then, you know, I stopped medicating myself, and now I have no choice but to deal with it.” Sagal referenced Applegate and Sigler’s struggles with the chronic immune disorder multiple sclerosis, saying, “I’m sure as you deal with a life-threatening illness — which as an alcoholic, I deal with a life-threatening illness — it brings into the forefront of your brain your own mortality,” Sagal said.
