Actress Eliza Dushku told a crowd of students in New Hampshire that she is a recovering alcoholic and drug addict. The "Bring it On" actress said she has been clean and sober for eight years. Her sobriety was a topic of news articles in 2008 and 2009. "When I did drugs and I drank, I didn't make good decisions," she told the crowd. "And all it takes is one bad decision." Dushku said her family did not want her to see her niece, who is now 13, because of her drug use. "I got sober for my family, but today I'm sober for me, and I'm sober for you," she said. "Drugs are powerful, but we are more powerful." Dushku spoke at the Youth Summit, sponsored by the Mark Wahlberg Youth Foundation, at the request of Jim Wahlberg. The event included speakers from the New England Patriots, the DEA, and Attorney General Jeff Sessions.
