“I like sober lite,” he said, adding: “I’m not a heavy drinker, as much as I used to be. The romance of drinking isn’t there.”
“It was me thinking that I needed it. And not doing the work to figure out how not to need it. And I’ve spent the last few years realizing that and thanking God that I don’t need it. Because for a lot of people, it’s hard to shake it. But I knew I didn’t want it,” he said.
The singer also said that he decided to give up hard drugs as he wished to start a family in the future.
“I know I say I don’t, but I know I do. I want children. I like the trajectory of my career. But also I feel like having children would influence me and inspire me more,” he said.
