Colton Haynes opened up about his road to sobriety, which included a 5150 psychiatric hold, in a candid interview with Attitude magazine.

Haynes, 30, says “In 10 years, there were maybe 25 days I didn’t drink.” However, he began to use alcohol and drugs more frequently after coming out in 2016.

“I came out, and in a way, my downward spiral started,” Haynes says. “I felt extremely free but at the same time the amount of attention I was getting was making me spin out of control.”

2018 proved to be another challenging year for the “American Horror Story” star as his mother, Dana died, from cirrhosis of the liver and he divorced his husband, Jeff Leatham.

“At that point, I fell apart. My brain broke,” Haynes says. “I was doing a massive comedy for a studio, showed up to work and got fired on the first day. They said I looked as if I had ‘dead in my eyes’, and I did.”

He finally decided to get help after being committed to a three-day, involuntary psychiatric hold as the result of a week-long bender.

“I locked myself in a hotel room at the Waldorf Astoria in Beverly Hills for seven days and was found in my room with these insane bruises all over my body,” he says. “It looked as if somebody had beaten the s–t out of me. I couldn’t walk, so I was falling everywhere. I almost ruptured my kidney, ended up in the hospital, ended up in 5150 psych hold. I was on such a destructive path that I could not function.”

“I lost partial sight in my left eye for a while,” Haynes added. “I ended up having two seizures. I didn’t know any of this was happening until I was sober enough to remember it.”

Haynes went into a four-month treatment facility and has been sober for six months.

“I’m always going to be in recovery,” Haynes says.“There are so many people struggling out there, but not a lot of them talk about it. Life is much more beautiful than I could have imagined.”
