Jamie Lee Curtis <\/a>shudders to think what would have happ<\/a>ened had her opioid addiction raged during today’s fentanyl crisis.<\/p>\n

The Oscar-winning actress, 64, has been sober for more than 23 years<\/a>, a milestone she doesn’t take lightly. In a new interview on MSNBC’s Morning Joe<\/em> on Friday, she said she’d be “dead” had the potent synthetic opioid drug been as available back then as it is today.<\/p>\n

“I was an opiate addict, and I liked a good opiate buzz,” Curtis said. “And if fentanyl was … as easily available as it is today on the street, I’d be dead.”<\/p>\n

The Halloween<\/em> star, who was also addicted to alcohol and used cocaine, called herself “incredibly lucky” to not have completely blown up her life as an addict.<\/p>\n

“My worst day was almost invisible to anyone else,” she said of her secret battle. “I didn’t make terrible decisions high or under the influence that then for the rest of my life, I regret. There are women in prison whose lives have been shattered by drugs and alcohol. Not because they were violent felons. Not because they were horrible people but because they were addicts. I am incredibly lucky that wasn’t my path.”<\/p>\n
