Hollywood actress Anna Faris has quite a few plans about giving up. After revealing that she nearly decided to quit acting, the actress has now shared that has <a href="https://www.mid-day.com/entertainment/hollywood-news/article/Meghan-Trainor-quit-drinking-to-save-her-voice-19217192" target="_blank" rel="none noopener">quit drinking alcohol</a>.
Furnishing the reason behind the same, the actress said that she found "there's a correlation between drinking and depression".
The &lsquo;Scary Movie&rsquo; actress has shared that she feels a lot better since quitting the alcohol and she now appreciates when she's recognised by fans when she's out and about. The actress recently appeared on Chelsea Handler's &lsquo;Dear Chelsea&rsquo; podcast, and she said, "It was only in the last, like, year, I think, that I really started to notice and appreciate if and when people recognize me, they would usually smile&rdquo;.
The host then asked her, "Do you think that has to do with not drinking? I know you stopped drinking&rdquo;.

One of the many gifts. It turns out there&rsquo;s a correlation between drinking and depression, for me, for sure. I had to take a step back and not self-sabotage&rdquo;.
Anna went on to reveal she started hormone replacement therapy (HRT) to deal with symptoms of perimenopause.
She further mentioned, "It turns out there's a correlation between drinking and depression for me for sure at least. I had to take a step back and not self-sabotage. I finally got on hormones, the hormone patch. (It has made a) huge difference".
Anna admitted she was struggling with mental <a href="https://www.mid-day.com/lifestyle/health-and-fitness/article/mumbai-doctors-say-lifestyle-habits-are-quietly-triggering-50-per-cent-surge-in-skin-health-issues-23612673" target="_blank" rel="none noopener">health issues</a> while filming her TV series Mom before she walked away from the show in 2020 and she even considered retiring from acting altogether.
She went on, "I was, in hindsight, I think pretty depressed, like, perimenopausal depression without recognizing it. I was just having a distant relationship with this city and my career and wondering if I had enough money to retire&rdquo;.
It comes after the 49-year-old actress, who has son Jack, 14, with ex-husband <a href="https://www.mid-day.com/entertainment/hollywood-news/article/Chris-Pratt-returns-to-Instagram-after-Anna-Faris-split-18713157" target="_blank" rel="none noopener">Chris Pratt</a>, revealed she's suffered mom guilt for years.
