Aug, 9, 2023 – Owen continued, “Trust me, there’s [probably] someone reading this that I affected in my days of being an idiot and I can never take that back … I said things I shouldn’t, as well as did things I would never do sober. I had to own up to those instances and the ONLY thing I could do was be a better person going forward.”
“I just want to encourage any of you that might be considering quitting drinking, that you should!” he added. “Life is so much better. Sleep better. Feel better. Be better. Shoot … I’ll be your supporter. I’ll cheer you on.”
Last year, Owen said he never had a drinking problem and didn’t struggle to stop drinking. Rather, he said he just didn’t like the person he was when he consumed alcohol.
“I just stopped,” he said. “I’m proud I did. What I realized in these moments was that it’s not easy for a lot of people. For me, it wasn’t hard. It was just something I decided to put down. For people who struggled and have reached out asking how I did it, it’s amazing to be able to connect with people like that.”
