IVAN MOODY Celebrates Fifth Year of Sobriety

WITHOUT A FIFTH –

March 10, 2023 – Moody’s near-death experience was recounted in FIVE FINGER’s music video for the song “The Tragic Truth” which was released in January 2022 to coincide with Ivan’s 42nd birthday.

In September 2018, Moody told the WEBN radio station that he was “back and forth for a while” in his struggle to stay sober. “I’d do three months, then relapse.” He added: “Recovery, you have to be committed; it’s an honest program, and I wasn’t being honest with myself at the time. I’m very, very proud of the progress I’ve made.”

Moody went on to credit several of his friends and musical peers with helping him get through some of his darker moments. “Rob Halford [JUDAS PRIEST] is the person that I called a lot of the time when I was in recovery,” he revealed. “I think he’s been sober now for going on 40 years — maybe, I think, a little longer than that; I could be wrong. But Jamey Jasta [HATEBREED] — another one. Jamey’s been sober now for [two decades]; Jonathan Davis[KORN]; so on and so forth. So these were all people that I looked to when I was struggling, and I was very, very lucky and blessed to have them on my team.”
