Michael J. Fox says he fled deeper into alcoholism when he was first diagnosed with Parkinson’s disease.

The first seven years after his 1991 diagnosis were spent in denial and depression, he says in the documentary Still: A Michael J. Fox Movie, which premiered on Jan 22 at the Sundance Film Festival.
