Macklemore Opens Up About Sobriety: “I Choose Life Over Death”

THE OPPOSITE OF SUICIDE –

Sept. 23, 2022 – “Something that’s so important in recovery is time. What I’ve realized along the way is that it’s one day at a time. It’s how am I showing up today. I can’t get back that relapse from two years ago. I also didn’t lose what I had before that,” Macklemore said. “And I think that that’s something that we kind of like beat ourselves up with the guilt and shame part of it is like, ‘Oh, my God, I lost this time, I lost my date. And now, I have to, I have a new date. And I have to start over’ — It’s not all starting over, it’s not all lost. And you didn’t lose the time that you had. You just got a new clean date. And that’s how I look at it.”

He added: “In 2008, the idea of speaking about the disease of addiction, as a disease, hadn’t really become commonplace. Mental health, therapy — all of these ways that now, today in 2022, are more used phrases or ways in seeking help, hadn’t really been discussed publicly and I leaned into it.
