BRET MICHAELS Quit Alcohol After Health Nightmare
December 16, 2010, 14 years ago
According to Postchronicle.com, POISON singer Bret Michaels has committed himself to a life of complete sobriety following his health nightmare earlier this year - because he refuses to kill himself drinking alcohol after battling to recover from his ailments.
The Poison star underwent an emergency appendectomy before collapsing from a near-fatal brain haemorrhage in April. He later suffered a stroke and was subsequently diagnosed with a hole in his heart.
Michaels has made a miraculous comeback from his health troubles and returned to the stage to complete his US tour shortly after his hospitalisation, but he admits he's not fully recovered.
He tells People magazine, "I'm only 85 per cent back, so I can't kickbox. I have short-term memory loss, so I have to repeat things to myself over and over. And I haven't had a good night's sleep since. My goal next year is to rock harder and sleep more!"
