Adrienne Banfield Norris, Jada Pinkett Smith’s mother, has been open about her struggles with addiction. On an upcoming episode of Red Table Talk, she recently revealed how the coronavirus pandemic helped her reconnect with her former sobriety groups.
The 67-year-old opened up about her decades of sobriety, “I celebrated 29 years in December, so I’m in my 30th year. It’s been a long time since I had to rely on going to meetings daily. The quarantine, believe it or not, actually put me back in touch with going to meetings.”
She continued,  “My sponsor actually called me and let me know there were meetings online. I went to my old homegroup back in Baltimore. It was such a good feeling.”

Adrienne Banfield Norris was a heroin addict and has been open about her journey. In July of 2018, she told PEOPLE, “It’s difficult to talk about something that is gonna go out to the world. I couldn’t hide the unmanageability of my life, and the emotional and the spiritual damage I did to myself and to her. That was devastating. I abused drugs for over 20 years.”
