Chris Stapleton Has Stopped Drinking
Chris Stapleton opened up about how he stopped drinking.
In a recent interview with GQ, he said…
“I tell people that I got into a drinking contest with myself in my 20s, and I lost. When you’re younger, you do certain things to make yourself feel like you’re legit. You want to feel things. You want to be able to write about things authentically.”
Chris realized that he didn’t need alcohol to be creative, plus it wasn’t good for him.
He’s been “all but sober” for several years and “didn’t have to go to rehab.”
But he DOES go to therapy with his wife Morganne. That’s something they started during the pandemic.
“It was a way to help us navigate what the world was, what that meant to our family, [and] to our business.”
