Allen has been open in talking about her sobriety journey. In January, she went onThe Recoverypodcast to speak about herlifelong addiction battle, revealing that she started recovery “about five years ago.”
“I remember being in L.A. and thinking like, ‘None of this acting out is working anymore. Maybe I should try heroin,’ " she said, before adding, “I’d been in a scene … and knew that when that thought popped into my head it was time to confront my demons.”

“He’s sober, has been sober for 20 years now,” Allen said. “We’re thinking about what we’re going to do with the rest of our lives … I don’t have as much as I had then in terms of success and wealth, but I have successand health in my mind, which is more valuable I think.”
