Actor admits that he's drinking again

Los Angeles - David Arquette has fallen to the bottle again.

The 41-year-old actor received treatment for alcohol abuse in January 2011 after splitting from his wife Courteney Cox, the mother of his nine-year-old daughter Coco, and revealed he recently fell off the wagon.

Speaking on The Howard Stern Show, he said, "I'm drinking again... I'm a drinker, I drink a lot. [I started drinking again because I felt like] I wasn't being that true to myself. I do get out of control [but] I try to keep a cap on it. I'll [also] smoke a little weed."

Figure out his own life

"Whatever I do, I'm gonna do; I'm gonna go through this journey and figure out my life. I'm a responsible person, I have my daughter three days a week... I'm incredibly responsible. I'm living my life and I'm trying not to hurt people."

David also revealed his girlfriend, Christina McLarty, has been supportive. "My girlfriend's cool, she supports me. She's cool."

Abuse from social media

Meanwhile, David said he deleted all of his social media accounts because he was getting abuse.

"People were being too mean. I think everyone's on their own journey. I'm tired of everyone judging others. I got my own problems, yes, and I will sort them out."
