Congratulations to Judas Priest singer Rob Halford, who today is celebrating 36 years of sobriety.
Halford took to social media this morning to thank his family, friends and fans for their support, stating: "One day at a time, 36 years, thank you for your love, you mean the world to me."
In a recent interview with Spain's Mariskal Rock, Halford spoke about the challenges of sobriety. Watch below.
Says Rob: "I think about it all the time. It's an addiction. When I'm watching the Phoenix Cardinals play on TV the other day, there's constantly adverts for beer and for alcohol and stuff. And I know it's there, I know it's there. And it's a temptation, so you have to have all of the mental tools ready to get you through that instance, 'cause it's all about instances, and I live one day at a time. I've lived one day at a time for 35 years now, and that's all that matters, it's the moment, you live in the moment — not yesterday, not tomorrow; it's now. And you have to be ready for when that little beer devil comes on your shoulder and goes, 'Come on, Rob. Have a little drink of beer.' 'Fuck off.' Because I don't wanna feel that way again, man. I don't want to be that person. I was miserable. I wasn't happy. I was bad to people. I don't wanna go through that again. So that's also part of my finding a balance in my day-to-day life."
