The actress recounted her conquest, adding that her addictions were an attempt to fill a void: «Buddhism helped me. My karma has changed “
Asia Argento celebrated a year spent sober and decided to share this milestone with a post on her social networks. The actress wrote: «Today I have one year of sobriety. For those who know me, who have read my book, or who have simply followed me in these 37 years of career and public life, they know that ever since I was a little girl I have tried to fill an innate void within memade up of fears, egos, and character flaws, with drug abuse first, and alcohol later. I tried to drown the sorrows in oblivion but after a while they learned to float. My anxiolytics have become depressants ».

The help of Buddhism
Argento then explained that the conquest of sobriety is not an unprecedented fact for her: “I had already been sober from 2013 to 2016, but then I had a relapse which lasted 5 years in which I really hit rock bottom, in all senses but above all spiritually. A year and a half ago, after suffering the loss of my mother, I started practicing Nichiren Daishonin’s Buddhism and my karma began to transform, as well as my thoughts, actions and words. I found the desire to stop hurting myself, to expand my consciousness. With the help of AA’s recovery program I found peace of mind, new goals and objectives, one day at a time. I hope this “coming-out” can help and encourage other addicts who are still suffering. There is a solution, we can get out of it! I feel immense gratitude, and I thank the friends who walk with me the road that leads to the light ».
