The show has successfully depicted human faults and the complexities of familial bonds.

The real reason why she quit alcohol was because it made her feel anxious afterward. She was unwilling to risk her health for a few hours of fun.
She opened up about how growing up in Australia, drinking became a normalized activity for her.
"Why am I doing something that makes me ultimately feel worse for the few hours I felt good? Why was I taking time away from tomorrow. Why did I feel less anxious in the moment of drinking and way more anxious after?", Sursok said.
The Young and The Restless star Tammim Sursok's journey towards sobriety
The Young and The Restless alum Tammin Sursok shared about how difficult it was for her to regulate her drinking, especially while she attended social events. She mentioned how she spent days trying to categorize months into 'no-drinking' months like 'dry January'. While those momentarily helped her, she would relapse on the weekends and one drink led to another.
She spoke about how she quit alcohol entirely one day and has not looked back since. While the former The Young and The Restless star delved into how quitting alcohol made her live a happier life, she also acknowledged how difficult it was to take the plunge.
"I'm not gonna lie, a 'sober life' I was afraid of. But I can honestly say, not only have I felt more joy, more happiness, more connection, but I've felt it in a greater way."
While she was successful in pledging to adopt a healthier lifestyle, she asked fans to reach out to her for help or support if they needed any on their journey. Quitting made her feel more mindful about her interactions with people. Tammim's dedication and perseverance garnered many heartfelt fan reactions across her social media handles.1
