During a December 6 appearance on the "Kentucky Sports Radio" show on Louisville's Talk Radio 1080 (WKJK-AM), Chris Kael revealed that he has been 22 months sober. "Our lead singer, Ivan [Moody], he's 21 months sober, right behind me," Chris said. "So, once I got sober, he was trying to go through it as well. We've really been leaning on each other a whole lot. If we can do it, in rock and roll, you guys can do it. Trust me. It's been an incredible turnaround in life. 22 months ago, knowing how I felt back then versus how I feel now — it's amazing. I cannot go back.
"I was doing this whole addict thing, where I had nine months," Kael admitted. "I was, like, 'Okay, at one year, I'm gonna re-evaluate. Maybe I'll have an Old Fashioned [Pale Ale]' — that was my thing; Old Fashioned — 'I'll have that.' But nine months hit, and that's when the first milestone was. I was, like, 'If I feel this good at nine months, why would I introduce that back into me at all?' It works for some people; it wasn't working for me. And now I'm spreading the word. I try to be the positive guy that everybody knew me to be originally, and I fell off the earth with addiction. And now I'm back."
That's awesome!
