Los Angeles, Sep 24 (IANS): Actor Will Arnett feels choosing sobriety was one of the best decisions of his life, and says that he is grateful on a daily basis.

"Sobriety to me is a gift. It's something that I was fortunate enough to be able to receive and I'm very, very grateful on a daily basis," "variety.com" quoted Arnett as saying.

"Sobriety has touched so many people, not just me but so many people in my life, my kids, my family. I have been on the receiving end of a lot of kindness in my life and that kindness is what has allowed me to be here tonight passing the message on to others who need help," added the actor after receiving the Spirit of Sobriety Award at the Brent Shapiro Foundation Summer Spectacular.

Arnett feels people he met at Alcoholics Anonymous meetings helped him maintain his sobriety.

"Community is the opposite of addiction. The more conversations we can have, the more people we can help. The Brent Shapiro Foundation is starting that conversation really early and that is a great, great thing," he said.
