Sharon Osbourne goes ‘at least three days a week’ without eating after 30-pound Ozempic weight loss Second, alcohol is an absolute demon. It is almost impossible to get through it alone: no matter how resilient or resourceful you may be, find a community and lean on them as much as you need to. Ozzy: I didn’t give a shit, because I was loaded. It’s a very selfish disease. You don’t think about it because you’re loaded, in an altered state. How hard is it to get sober in the public spotlight?

I’ve seen 4 beautiful girls born into this mad world. I’ve been divorced. I’ve found the person I wanna spend the rest of my life with. The point I’m trying to make with all of this is that I’ve had an absolute adventure. Jordan Peterson said it best “in life we are not guaranteed happiness, we are guaranteed an adventure”. That has been my journey. I know in my heart and soul that the life I have lived is a complete byproduct of working the 12 steps, surrounding myself with like minded sober people, and being of service to where I can. I know I can never stop trying to improve and get better. Ozzy: The thing is, people call it a disease, but if you had cancer, people wouldn’t climb over trees and take a photo of you in your bed. Yet they do when you’re in rehab. What do you say to musicians who are struggling but think it’s the only way? Addiction issues hit Kelly hard as she revealed she became dependant on opioid painkiller Vicodin aged 13 after she had her tonsils taken out. He revealed to People: “It’s a part of my life. I got sober at 17 and … it’s a long time. I chose to kind of commit myself to living life sober.I’m hoping this is okay to post I haven’t started a thread properly before but I can’t see anything for this guy which is strange I thought there would be threads for him Kelly, now 37, was put in a padded cell during rehab at one point and said: "I never thought I’d be alive at 35-years-old. A lot of my friends didn’t make it and burying them was hard. I had survivor’s guilt for a long time. I’m almost three years sober.” Afterward, he humbly detailed many of his successes and failures over the last two decades, from meeting “some of the most interesting people alive” and becoming “a cop and an EMT” to creating (and subsequently losing) “tons of tv shows.”

Sharon: I learned about it when Elizabeth Taylor went to Betty Ford Center. And that was exactly 36 years ago. Ozzy: All I can say is, I’m 72 years of age. Most of the people that I drank with are dead. And the ones that aren’t, that still continue to drink, are going to be dead soon. It’s not a happy ending. If you want to carry on drinking, my hat goes off to you. Sharon, did you ever think that Ozzy would get it?

I made it my mission to “grow up and show up”, having previously had a reputation for being flaky, late and unreliable. I am a better mother for my sobriety – making all of my son’s school plays, assemblies and meetings in the last year. We spend far more quality time together now, and the little boy who was at times anxious, awkward and painfully shy is flourishing under the warmth of genuine maternal attention and time spent doing not much at all. I always feared motherhood; growing up in a household where foster children came and went in a revolving door of trauma and disarray, I was continually petrified that I would never be able to be a proper mother to my son. Sharon: I knew nothing about alcoholism. Nothing. I had worked with a lot of musicians, a lot of actors. And I just thought that’s how people are when they drink. I just thought, “OK. They just like to drink.” That was it. I understood nothing about the “-ism.” And when did you learn about the “-ism”?
