Machine Gun Kelly has revealed that he’s been sober for a year. The musician made the announcement during an appearance on the “Dumb Blonde” podcast.
He said: “I’m completely sober from everything. I don’t drink anymore. I haven’t drank since last August.” The musician also said he went to rehab after the conclusion of his European tour in 2023, adding: “I didn’t tell anybody outside of the [people] closest to me,” he said.
“That was my first time I ever went to rehab. They just gave me so many ways to operate the body, show where this anger is coming from, and methods to quell it.”
MGK also shared that during his time in rehab, he met with psychiatrists and therapists, some of whom “gave up on me.”
“But I ended up falling into an awareness of what my condition is and have made peace with it,” he continued. “It’s a constant tightrope walk.”
The musician also praised his girlfriend, Megan Fox, for supporting him on his path to sobriety, adding: “Megan has for sure been extremely helpful in dealing with the kind of psychological withdrawals that come with [sobriety].”
“I continue to embrace that this journey is gonna be hard for me, but I accept it and forgive myself.” He went on to admit that “I’m also really hard on myself, very self-deprecating.
“So, I guess, I’m just happy that I’m able to start to be comfortable enough to show people who I am, because I kind of depended on my art to do that.”
