Well, thereโ€™s no need to keep wondering, as Haddish is breaking everything down in her new memoir, โ€œI Curse You With Joy,โ€ releasing May 7. Among the โ€œHaunted Mansionโ€ actressโ€™ major revelations is the fact that sheโ€™s been sober for six months. She explains that she made the decision following her November DUI arrest.

โ€œIโ€™m very sober. I havenโ€™t had a drink since [the incident],โ€she told People. โ€œWhen I sit back and look at my life, everything thatโ€™s crazy thatโ€™s happened is because somebody or myself had alcohol in their system.โ€

No matter what you think of Tiffany Haddish, she doesnโ€™t appear to be wrong about this one. Alcohol can be found at the root of many of our most embarrassing and problematic moments. If she felt like things were getting out of hand, good for her for having the courage to handle the problem before irreparable damage was done to herself or someone else. In fact, she believes being sober is working out so well for her, sheโ€™s challenging her fans to follow in her footsteps.

โ€œStop drinking for six months and just see how your life changes,โ€ she said. โ€œYouโ€™re going to have your snatched body back, youโ€™re going to see your relationships will be better and youโ€™ll stop dealing with people you donโ€™t need to be dealing with. My issue was, I was waking up next to ugly men.โ€

Alcohol isnโ€™t the only thing sheโ€™s given up for six months. Haddish has also been celibate, explaining, โ€œThey went together.โ€

โ€œWith alcohol [my mind] would just be like โ€˜Youโ€™re horny, letโ€™s just do it,โ€™โ€ she said. Without the outside influence, her response has changed to โ€œNah, nope.โ€

Just because sheโ€™s chosen celibacy, it doesnโ€™t mean sheโ€™s sitting at home alone. The โ€œNight Schoolโ€ actress reveals that sheโ€™s currently โ€œdating multiple guysโ€ and โ€œThey all know about each other.โ€

If you want to know all the details of Tiffanyโ€™s recent adventures, โ€œI Curse You With Joyโ€ is now available for pre-order, then hits bookshelves and e-readers May 7.
