==Personal life==
In 2003, Falco was diagnosed with [[breast cancer]]. She chose not to make the news public until the following year.<ref name="nymag" /> She has struggled with [[alcoholism]] and decided to become sober in the early 1990s after "one particular night of debauchery". She said in an interview that it was difficult to be around the hard-partying cast of ''The Sopranos'', stating, "This cast, in particular, they really love to hang out and party. They make it look like fun. And it was fun for me! They spend a lot more time without me than with me, by my own choice. I'm always invited, and I'm always there for two minutes and I leave, because I can't live in that world anymore. It's too dangerous."<ref name="nymag">{{cite news|author=Nussbaum, Emily|url= http://nymag.com/arts/tv/profiles/29992/|title= The Loneliest Soprano|work=New York Magazine|date= April 1, 2007|access-date= July 2, 2008}}</ref> She is an advocate of [[Alcoholics Anonymous]]' 12-step program.<ref name="parade">{{cite news|title=Edie Falco: Sobriety Helped Battle Cancer|publisher=Parade Magazine|date=March 24, 2009|url=http://parade.com/130656/kevinsessums/edie-falco-finds-ways-to-be-grateful }}</ref>
