The"Star Trek: Discovery" star went on to recall a dark time during his battle with addiction in which he believed that if everyone around him died he"probably wouldn't mind that much" as he would have an"excuse" to do drugs by himself.
"I thought I was broken," Isaacs said, telling The Big Issue that he"was convinced that nobody came from the same twisted, dark, cracked mold" as he did, per."I remember there being a moment, not long before I got clean, when it suddenly occurred to me that if everybody I knew died, literally every single person, I probably wouldn't mind that much.
Isaacs, who shares two daughters with his wife, Emma Hewitt, concluded by sharing what he thinks his younger self would think of what he's managed to overcome. "I think what would surprise the 16-year-old me is that I'm okay," he said."That I manage to find simple happiness in simple things. Not always, not perfectly, but enough."
