“I had to learn that you could drink alcohol without doing cocaine,” Jelly Roll recently admitted.
“It took me a long time to learn that … I’ve never said that, but that’s real,” he continued.
“There was a long time where I just assumed, when people told me they drank without doing cocaine, I was like, I thought we only drank to do cocaine,” recalled the award winning musician.
“I thought [drinking] was to make us not feel like drug addicts. Nobody wants to snort cocaine sober, then you’re a drug addict. But I had to re-look at my relationship with alcohol like that,” he confessed.
“I never really had a problem with alcohol, so I’ll still have a cocktail, but very, especially this year, very seldomly.” he explained further.
“Like, special night kind of stuff, like the night of the CMAs, of course we partied. But I just try to stay away from drugs.”
“I’ve made a lot of peace with my past. I mean, it still haunts me like the ghosts I know, but I tell you what, I don’t think about doing no drugs today. As far as today goes, I don’t know about tomorrow, but I can tell you, today, right now, I’m happy,” celebrated the “Save Me” singer.
“I’ve never talked about this in interviews, but because I do drink and smoke weed, I will attend meetings occasionally,” Jelly Roll revealed.
“If I’m really struggling with thinking of my behavioral pattern, I’ll go to a meeting,” he said.
“I just, out of an abundance of respect for the people who really got off the drugs completely, and the alcohol and the weed, I don’t necessarily claim to be a part of the program, because I respect their work and I would never want to diminish it with some of my actions, but AA has done a lot for me,” affirmed Jelly Roll
His family, especially the birth of his daughter, has been a significant factor in his recovery.
Jelly Roll now focuses on giving back and finding happiness in helping others.
