Pooja
Bhatt
took
to
her
Instagram
account
to
celebrate
the
five-year
mark
of
her
sobriety.
The
actress
who
has
been
vocal
about
her
struggle
with
alcoholism
in
the
past,
talked
about
her
recovery
and
shared
her
experience
in
the
recent
post.
Pooja
started
the
Instagram
post's
caption
by
recalling
a
time
when
she
'chased'
love
and
said
that
a
few
years
ago,
she
found
the
'love
of
(her)
life'
-
sobriety.
She
added,
"I
can't
remember
a
time
when
I've
not
been
in
love.
With
people,
yes...but
more
so
with
the
very
idea
of
love.
I
looked
for
love
everywhere
I
went.
Chased
it
down
unfamiliar
avenues
in
the
dead
of
the
night
&
even
across
countries,
borders,
continents."
She
added
that
she
does
not
blame
others
for
failing
her
because
most
of
the
time,
in
the
past
she
had
failed
herself.
"Then
one
day
the
universe
introduced
me
to
the
love
of
my
life
-
Sobriety.
And
the
need
for
validation
from
any
other
source
ebbed.
A
demanding
yet
fulfilling
lover,
Sobriety
breaks
down
your
defences,
bares
&
reveals
your
soul,
calls
out
any
and
all
bulls**t."
She
revealed
that
sobriety
can
"clasps
your
hand
tight
&
ensures
you
make
it
through
many
uncertain
nights,
filling
your
dawn
with
such
unimaginable
light
when
you
do
the
most
revolutionary
thing
-
say
NO
to
yourself," she
added.
Calling
it
a
deeply
gratifying
relationship,
she
said
that
it
helped
her
overcome
'vicious
storms',
cope
with
loss
and
kept
her
grounded
'through
a
supposed
revival
of
fortune
and
fame'.
She
concluded
the
post
by
saying,
"There
is
no
room
for
a
third
in
my
life
at
this
point.
My
priority
for
the
first
time
ever,
is
myself.
My
emotional
health
comes
first.
Sobriety,
recovery
gets
first
priority.
And
because
recovery,
like
love,
is
selfish
no
matter
what
people
say,
my
choice
is
clear-
it
is
SINGLE
BLESSEDNESS
all
the
way!"
On
the
work
front,
Pooja
made
her
acting
comeback
after
more
than
a
decade
with
Sadak
2,
followed
by
her
digital
debut
with
Netflix
series
Bombay
Begums.
She
is
all
set
to
reprise
her
role
as
Rani
in
the
show's
season
2.
