Sept. 8 (UPI) -- Charlie Sheen says drinking "softened the edges" of a lifelong stutter.
Sheen, 60, discussed his addiction issues and recovery journey in an interview on Good Morning America Monday.
The former Spin City actor spoke with Michael Strahan ahead of the release of his memoir, The Book of Sheen, Tuesday, and a Netflix documentary, aka Charlie Sheen, arriving Wednesday.
"Drinking just... It softened the edges. It gave me, just, freedom of speech," he told Strahan on Good Morning America.
He said that when he joined Spin City in 2000, he stopped hiding his stutter.
