Mackenzie Phillips, a household name from her time on the sitcom ‘One Day at a Time,’ recently spoke at Fanboy Expo Knoxville in Tennessee about her past struggles with addiction and how her faith has helped her through difficult times.

A Story of Struggle and Faith

Phillips, who starred in ‘One Day at a Time’ from 1975 to 1980, has been open about her battles with substance abuse. She shared that her contract included a ‘morals clause’ due to her struggles, which allowed producers to take her for a urinalysis if they suspected she was under the influence.

Phillips recalled a specific incident where she was asked to take a drug test during a lunch break. When she asked for more time, knowing that cocaine leaves the system quickly, the co-executive producer told her it was time to leave the show.

Despite her past struggles, Phillips has found strength in her faith. She stated that her faith and resilience have been crucial in her recovery and that she feels blessed to have made it through those difficult times.

Phillips has continued to work in the entertainment industry and has also worked in the addiction and recovery field, helping others who are struggling with similar issues.
