In a recent interview, Pretty Little Liars star Lucy Hale shared that these days she has “no interest” in the party-girl lifestyle and that she has given up alcohol. And these life changes have fed into other transformations—for the better. “I’m just always trying to surround myself with better people and be the best version of myself possible," she explained to Byrdie. "I know it sounds obnoxious to hear people say that, but why not?”

We applaud her for owning the decision. After all, realizing one's own boundaries is certainly not easy, especially for stars who deal with the pressures of fame on a daily basis.

When the actress turned 21, she celebrated happily, but not with alcohol. "Just because I'm now the legal drinking age, doesn't mean I'm going to start throwing 'em back. I don't plan to start drinking," she wrote on her app. "My life is too stressful to need help with relaxing by having a cocktail. This industry is way too nuts for me to not be in control of myself and my decisions, so I just don't want to introduce drinking! Plus, I don’t want drinking to become a vice. Why try something if you don’t need it?!"

In an interview with GQ, Pitt revealed that he has been sober for six months. "I can't remember a day since I got out of college when I wasn't boozing or had a spliff or something. Something," the actor shared. "And you realize that a lot of it is, um—cigarettes, you know, pacifiers. And I'm running from feelings. I'm really, really happy to be done with all of that. I mean I stopped everything except boozing when I started my family. But even this last year, you know—things I wasn't dealing with. I was boozing too much. It's just become a problem. And I'm really happy it's been half a year now, which is bittersweet, but I've got my feelings in my fingertips again. I think that's part of the human challenge: You either deny them all of your life or you answer them and evolve."
