The woman showed a photograph of the two on her cell phone, taken four years ago, and recalled the moment she met the actress. According to her, Barrymore was crying during the flight and went to the aircraft's kitchen. There, the presenter also received a hug while facing personal problems.
The memory took Barrymore to the audience, where he hugged the flight attendant and sat next to her. He then revealed that that period coincided with an important change in his life: the decision to stop drinking.
"It was a very, very difficult year; in fact, it was the year I stopped drinking," he said. She said giving up alcohol did not eliminate the problems, but it began a process that required effort and behavior change.
Barrymore also spoke about her relationship with drinking. "I knew this was my biggest problem in life. Alcohol was poison for me, and I turned to it because I didn't want to feel anything," he told the audience.
The actress said that she looked to alcohol as a way to escape her own emotions. "I felt better when I drank, so I turned to drinking," he said.
After the report, Barrymore joked with the flight attendant again and asked for her phone number. “I’m going to need your phone number,” he said, between laughs.
Before closing the meeting, he thanked him for the support he received years ago. “There was a reason we met that day,” he said. "Thank you for allowing me to be so honest and transparent with you then, and thank you for being like that with me now. I love you, and I'm so glad we're here today talking about this."
