In his first post-rehab interview, David Arquette talks to Oprah about his struggle with alcohol and an intervention that included his estranged wife Courteney Cox.

The actor tells the talk show host about waking up from a nap to find Cox and his sister Patricia Arquette waiting at his bed.

“Courteney’s like, ‘Do you mind coming out to the living room for a minute?’ recalls Arquette to Oprah. When he got dressed, he saw his best friend, business partner and others waiting for him.

“I go ‘What up, turkeys? I guess this is my intervention!’”

The star discusses an early start with booze, saying that he had his first beer when he was just four years old.

“I was down in the basement with my dad and the beer was there and I just grabbed it and drank it. I remember that. It’s one of my earliest memories,” Arquette tells Oprah.

“I seriously started drinking probably when I was about 12,” remembers Arquette. “I stole pot from my father when I was eight years old.”

The full interview airs on today’s “Oprah.”
