    Sami Sheen had no idea she was the reason her father Charlie Sheen got sober

    In his new Netflix documentary, aka Charlie Sheen, and memoir, The Book of Sheen, Charlie revealed it was an interaction with his eldest daughter that convinced him to quit alcohol and drugs for good


    He revealed that back in 2017, after he had drank three coffees with whiskey, he had to ask a friend to pick Sami up from her appointment and her reaction led to him swearing off drink and drugs forever.

    He shared: "Sam was very quiet. I didn't need to be clairvoyant to know exactly what she was thinking. 'Why is Dad not driving - again? Why isn't it just the two of us in the car like it used to be? When will that moment ever return? When will Dad ever return? I miss him.'"

    And now OnlyFans model Sami, 21, who no longer speaks to her father, admitted she had no idea that she was the reason for his sobriety.

    She posted a video of herself looking slightly teary, while sad music played in the background.

    She wrote: "I didn't know I was the reason he got sober. honestly a 10/10 documentary."

    This comes after Charlie previously claimed he had no idea why Sami - whose mother is actress Denise Richards - stopped speaking to him.

    Speaking on Good Morning America, Charlie said: "I feel like as long as everybody's still in the game, there's always a shot for a better tomorrow, you know. I don't really know what I did, that's the problem. I don't know what I'm supposed to yet apologise for. But I have absolute faith that it's not a forever thing, and her and I will work it out. You know, we have a history that's too valuable to let, you know, some moment destroy all of that."

    And, Charlie revealed that since he got sober, his relationships with all of his other children, Lola, 20, with Richards, 16-year-old twins Max and Bob with Brooke Mueller and daughter Cassandra Estevez, 41, with a high school girlfriend, have improved.

    He said: "We have relationships, you know? And we have legitimate ones. And they really have nothing to do with anything that I do for a living."

    Charlie quit drugs in 2015, the same year he publicly announced his HIV diagnosis and he has been completely sober since giving up alcohol in 2017.

    Meanwhile, Sami previously revealed that she cut off all contact with her father after he didn't check in with her following a surgery.
