Demi Moore has opened about her miscarriage of her and Ashton Kutcher's baby, which caused a downward spiral into alcohol and substance abuse.

The 56-year-old actress in her an interview with The New York Times promoting her upcoming memoir Inside Out has revealed when she miscarried in 2004, she "blamed herself" because she was drinking.

She was six months into the pregnancy and the couple had planned to name their child Chaplin Ray.

Now, Moore said she has overcome her demons - a battle which served as inspiration for her memoir.

Despite her health battles, Moore said it was her three daughters Rumer (31), Tallulah (25), and Scout (28) that encouraged her to make positive changes in her life.

"As a woman, a mother, and a wife, there are certain values and vows that I hold sacred, and it is in this spirit that I have chosen to move forward with my life... My daughters offered me an opportunity to start to change the generational pattern. To be able to break the cycles."

Demi Moore's memoir Inside Out is released on September 24.
