A look into Charlie Sheen and daughter Sami’s messy relationship

Sheen released his memoir, The Book of Shineon September 9, a day before his two-part documentary, also called Charlie Sheenpremiered on Netflix.

In one section of his book, he recalled the moment he realized he needed to get sober.

“It was December 10, 2017, and at 9 a.m. I was on my third Macallan-spiked coffee,” he writes. “My phone rang and when I answered it, it was my daughter Sam asking what time we were leaving. S—; her appointment that day had eluded me. I never mixed cups with the wheel, so I called Tony T. to come rescue me from a situation he was all too familiar with. There’s reliability and then there’s that death.”

Sami was “very quiet” during the ride home, and from that moment on he reportedly knew “exactly what needed to be done.”

“Sam wasn’t my last straw; she was my first harvest. On December 11, I took two Valium and drank three beers. On December 12, I stopped drinking for good,” Charlie continues.
