Danny Trejo, an actor, may portray a tough guy on screen, but he has a soft
spot for his family and enjoying their successes.
The Machete franchise's leading man recently congratulated his son Gilbert
on a significant accomplishment on social media. The 34-year-old son of
Trejo celebrated eight years of sobriety on July 17.
My son Gilbert Trejo has 8 years clean and sober today! I love you so much, and am so proud of the man you’ve become. Any parents out there with children struggling with addiction, I didn’t think my son was going to make it and today he’s my best friend! There is hope! pic.twitter.com/E2m2ggfIiQ

If you have a child who is struggling with addiction, please know that my
son is now my best friend despite the fact that I didn't think he would!
There is a chance! Trejo tweeted something.
The actor has been sober for more than 50 years, so he is familiar with the
sober lifestyle. He didn't start using marijuana until he was eight years
old. He drank for the first time at the age of 12, and by 14 he was using
heroin.
At the age of 24, he finally made the decision to quit drinking after
spending years in and out of jail and attending numerous 12-step meetings.
He didn't waste any time before fully integrating himself into the recovery
scene and becoming a drug counselor.
From August 23, 1968, to the present, "everything is just like a dream," he
declared. "I have nothing to grumble about. There is nothing I need to
fix.
Trejo is still an advocate for recovery today. He is also very honest about
how difficult it is to maintain sobriety.
Danielle, the 78-year-old's daughter, has been sober for a number of
years.
