Talking to Good Morning America in 2017, actress Sagal opened up about her history of drug use and alcohol addiction. She confessed to the show's host about her addictive past and said that it all started during her teenage years in the form of diet pills.
Sagal talked about her compulsive personality, which "goes a long way with substances," and spoke with subtleness about how everything escalated from her use of the pills.
In her confession, the actress said,
It started that way [with the piils] and [it] then escalated from there.
Sagal was on the show to promote her memoir titled Grace Notes: My Recollections. In the nonfiction book, she blamed growing up in Los Angeles as a cause of her exposure to drugs during her teenage years.
