Drew Barrymore and Zoë Kravitz embraced during a recent episode of Barrymore's talk show.

She continued: "I was shocked to realize that part of my journey that I was looking to find the trauma inside of me, and what is it about. A big part of it was I used to be a blackout drinker.

"And so, watching this film was an extraordinary journey for me to forgive myself for that because I’ve put myself in situations I shouldn’t have put myself in!"

Barrymore then declared: "I haven’t had a drink in five years."

Premiere week of "The Drew Barrymore Show" included A-listers Zoe Kravitz and her dad, Lenny.

Blink Twice, which Kravitz, 35, wrote and directed, tells the story of friends Frida (Naomi Ackie) and Jess (Alia Shawkat) as they arrive on a private island owned by a formerly canceled billionaire tech guy, Slater King (Kravitz's fiancé, Channing Tatum).

During their stay, Frida discovers the men on the island are sexually assaulting the women at night and using a perfume that induces amnesia-like symptoms.

The movie had such a profound effect on the Mad Love star, she planned to get a snake tattoo to commemorate it.

She explained: "The snakebite in the movie is a very important story detail, and I got bit and I'm forever awake."

Drew Barrymore has been open about her past struggles with drugs and alcohol.

After Kravitz's interview, her dad, Lenny Kravitz, made a surprise appearance to honor his daughter and her directorial debut.

The Hunger Games star raved: "That was the most beautiful interview I've ever seen, ever. Oh my God. It was so beautiful."

Barrymore reiterated her praise for the film, saying she was a "forever changed person because of what your daughter put into the world" before asking the Are You Gonna Go My Way rocker, 60, what the movie meant to him.

He said: "You verbalized it in a way that I can relate to because to see people understand it, and to articulate it, and how deep it really is, it's… it's incredible because that's how I feel about it.

"If it wasn't my daughter, I would still feel exactly the same. And the fact that it is my daughter just makes it that much more of a blessing."

The official trailer for 'Blink Twice'.

The Charlie’s Angels star, 49, has been open about her journey to sobriety and her child star party days, which included drinking at age 9 and snorting cocaine at 12.

Barrymore called her decision to stop drinking in 2019 "one of the most liberating things in my journey of life".

She told Entertainment Tonight: "One of the bravest things you can do is slay those dragons and finally change an awful cycle in which you've found yourself stuck.

"For me, it was to stop drinking."

The demons began with her famous acting family, including her drinker dad, John Drew Barrymore, and grandfather, John Barrymore, who drank himself into the grave.

Barrymore explained: "We have to fight genetic follies that our families bring to us."
