Siddharth Mallya marks 8 years sober amid OCD anxiety

Siddharth Mallya is an actor whose dad is a famous businessman.

A long time ago, he used to drink alcohol.

But the drinks made his OCD and anxiety much worse the next day.

He wasn't an alcoholic, but he still decided to stop drinking to feel better.

Now, eight years have passed, and he has not had a drink that whole time.

He shared this happy news on Instagram with a video message.

He told people they have the power to change their lives if they want it badly enough.

Many people said his story inspired them, and he said he is "not a superhero."

Doctors have also found that alcohol can make sad and worried feelings stronger over time.

That's why choosing to live without it can help people feel healthier.
