Alec Baldwin has compared his cocaine addiction to drinking coffee admitting he snorted the drug 'all day long' for two years.

The 30 Rock star has spoken candidly about his issues with drug and alcohol addiction after celebrating 39 years sober.

He revealed he had a 'white-hot problem every day for two years' and joked he snorted a line of powder long enough to stretch from the Earth to Saturn and back again.

During an appearance on the Our Way with Paul Anka and Skip Bronson podcast, Alec said: 'I don't discuss this a lot. I discuss it every now and then when it makes sense.'

The ex of Kim Basinger shared: 'I'm 39 years sober. I got sober Feb. 23, 1985.'

Alec went on to explain his issues with cocaine started after he moved from New York to Los Angeles in 1983 and the habit soon took over his life.

He told the hosts: 'I had a white-hot problem every day for two years. I think I snorted a line of cocaine from here to Saturn ... Did one on the rings of Saturn, then we came home - we took it back home. 

'I mean, cocaine was like coffee back then. Everybody was doing it all day long.'

Alec eventually gave up drugs, but then his drinking spiralled out of control. He explained: 'Because I stopped doing drugs, my drinking increased, which they tell you is going to happen. And that did happen. I just started drinking.'
