I’m 55 years clean and sober today by the grace of God!” he captioned a smiling photo of himself. “I’ve done this one day at a time, and for anyone out there struggling YOU CAN TOO!
The Trejo’s Tacos owner has given extensive insight into his sobriety journey over the years, recounting how he used alcohol and drugs from a young age. Trejo attended his first 12-step meeting, a substance abuse recovery program, at just 15 years old, he told Variety in 2019.

However, his life took a turn when a former inmate visited San Quentin State Prison, the correction facility where Trejo served time in the ’60s.
