Brad Pitt has opened up about his experience in Alcoholics Anonymous, saying that he was on his knees before beginning the program.

During an appearance on Dax Shepard’s Monday episode of his podcast, “Armchair Expert,” the actor praised AA as an “amazing thing,” adding, “I just thought it was just incredible men sharing their experiences, their foibles, their missteps, their wants, their aches, and a lot of humor with it. I thought it was a really special experience,” according to People.

Shepard, who has been candid about his battle with addiction, asked Pitt if he felt “nervous” speaking with him in public, since their first meeting took place in AA, which was marked with “really heightened honesty and vulnerability,” but Pitt assured he was “quite at ease.” He did, however, admit to being “shy” coming into the AA group. He sought help after sinking to a low point in his life.
