In October 2018 American pie Star announced that he was a year sober in a festive and encouraging Instagram post.
“I first tried to become sober over 5 years ago, when the importance of my obsession with liquor and drugs became too heavy for me to handle,” he wrote at that time. “It turns out that this is difficult.”
He continued, “After a few passes and starts, I have managed to put together a year of sobriety. I am just as proud of it as everything in my life. If you are fighting, it knows that there is help. Don’t embarrass you. We can do this.”
Years later, he reflected on his journey with addiction and the lengths he went to hide his struggle.

He added, “I had figured out to a T. not to get too full where I couldn’t talk to you. I replaced those bottles at the bar all the time.”
