Demi Moore opened up about a dark time in her live when she found herself “spiralling down a path of real self-destruction”.

Speaking at the Beverly Hilton Hotel, where she was honored with the Woman of the Year Award by Los Angeles-based women’s recovery centre and sober living program Peggy Albrecht Friendly House, Moore explained: “I feel like there’s a defining moments in our lives that shape who we are and the direction we go and early in my career.”

The two-time Golden Globe nominee continued: “I was spiralling down a path of real self-destruction and no matter what successes I had, I just never felt good enough. I had absolutely no value for myself, and this self-destructive path very quickly brought me to a real crisis point.”

Thankfully for Moore, two people who she “barely knew” decided to stage an intervention – one which was more like an “ultimatum”.

“Unless I was dead, I better show up,” she quipped, according to Variety, before adding that she was given “a chance to redirect the course of my life before I destroyed everything.”

“Clearly they saw more of me than I saw of myself,” Moore noted. “And I’m so grateful because without that opportunity, without their believing me, I wouldn’t be standing here today.”
