The 43-year-old comedian recalled how his drug addiction would see him using heroin and crack cocaine in friend's bathrooms.
"I remember being eggshell fragile, this time sixteen years ago.
"I'd scored two brown, that's heroin, two white, that's crack. It may be a little more, I can't remember.
"I would have been hanging out with my various mates, none of whom were drug addicts, I was just sort of sneaking off to do drugs in their toilets."
The actor expressed the pride he has for staying clean for so long, but credited his three-month rehab stint and the support he received there for helping to get him back on track.
He continued: "I had the privilege of going to a 12-step treatment centre, getting three months there, the hugs man, the hugs, the optimism.
"And then coming out and finding other people, support groups where people would sort me out.
"And now, 16 years, two daughters, married, dogs, peace of mind, not enslaved by the opinion of others, not enslaved by, 'Aw, if I could get more money, if I could get more fame, if I could get more sex.' All the things that get me off drink and drugs can be worked in every area of my life."
