There's always this little sliver of a crack of a chance to get off the hamster wheel.
And I just grabbed it.
I felt that urge and I just hopped off.
My last drink was so boring.
It was also a glass of champagne.
We were backstage at a show that I was working on in L.A.
I just like felt this thing from within me.
And it was like, this is your last drink.
Enjoy it.
I was like, well, OK.
And it was and I haven't picked up since.
And that's the only thing I've done perfectly in my eight years is not drink, not use and go to meetings.
and connect with other people.
I'm not a perfect person by any means.
My life is radically different.
I'm still a little nuts, but I am nuts with tools rather than nuts with drugs.
They're comorbid.
They're so intertwined because like drug addiction and alcoholism is dependence.
It's dependence on a chemical.
When that chemical is removed, usually you go try to fill that void with a relationship or with food or with work or with anything.
