JUDAS PRIEST's ROB HALFORD Celebrates 38 Years Of Sobriety
 JUDAS PRIEST's Rob Halford is celebrating the 38th anniversary of his getting sober.
Earlier today (Saturday, January 6), the 72-year-old singer shared a video message in which he said (as transcribed by BLABBERMOUTH.NET): " Hello, everyone. One day at a time for 38 years. Thank you, higher power, family, friends, metal maniacs, my sponsor Bob for gifting me these commemorative coins I treasure.
"Each one of you make this sober birthday happen. Yesterday is gone. Tomorrow is uncharted. Today is all that matters. Prayer, self-inventory, amending, holding out your hand — the simple things in life mean the most.
"To those of us on this same path we walk together, keep walking. To you who may be ready to take the first step, there's a wonderful new life of unconditional blessings filled with love and acceptance waiting for you with open arms. I'm lifted up and grateful for every moment I live with you all.
"Thanks again, everyone. I love you very much."
In 2022, Halford spoke to Spain's Mariskal Rock about how he has managed and avoided the urge to relapse since 1986. "I think about it all the time," he said about drinking alcohol. "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. 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.' [Laughs] 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."
Rob previously spoke about how he manages to stay clean on the road in a 2020 interview with the "Across The Board" podcast. "It's not easy," he said at the time. "It's very much a day at a time. You're given all the tools and resources from your rehab experience. I use 'em every day. A lot of it is just like mental notes — talking things through. Sometimes I speak 'em out; a lot of it is internal. So that's really vital on a day-to-day level of sobriety.
"When I was in rehab [in 1986], there's anonymity in rehab, but at the same time, you have to tell everybody your life story, so everybody knew what I did. And I remember we talked about the fact that I'm gonna go back to this world of sex and drugs and rock and roll and booze. I don't know how I'm gonna be able to cope, because it won't be a gradual reimmersion into society, so to speak. I won't be able to go tiny steps; I'm just gonna go straight into the deep end. I cannot go to work and say to my bandmates, 'You can't drink. You can't do this. You can't do that,' because it's control. Accept your powerlessness.
"I don't think we ever in the band had a sit-down conversation about this, but I think that there was caring and understanding — as there still is," Halford continued. "But I'd be the last person to say that I have to set a set of rules, because then this whole business of living my life on my terms [turns into something] you push on to other people: 'Well, now, you can't do this,' 'You can't do that.' That's just hypocrisy on the highest level.
"Even now, when we're flying after a show, and the guys are having a beer or a cocktail or whatever, man, I would love that cold beer. I would love a slug of Jack and Coke. I can smell it, 'cause we're in a plane together. It's like this little angel on one side and the devil on the other side. My instant thought is I never wanna be sick again. I never, ever wanna feel that bad ever again. I never want to be in that terrible, dark, lonely place ever again. So it's fleeting. But, again, it's always there.
"When I'm home, especially [during] this COVID thing, [my longtime partner] Thomas doesn't drink. When I first met Thomas, he quit drinking. So that's a support to me. I'm never really around alcohol that much, or drugs, when I'm not working. But, yeah, when my fans, or when PRIEST fans come to see us, yeah, they're gonna have some drinks; they might have a couple of spliffs [and] do whatever else recreationally. They're entitled to. And they are living their lives and they are partying and they are having the time of their lives, as they should. They don't have an alcohol problem; they don't have a drug addiction. There are people that can enjoy these things in life and it [has] no effect on them, in a physical sense and in a mental sense.
"So, it's an absolute miracle," Halford added. "I can only say it's a miracle that I've got that far from January the 6th, 1986 to December the 1st, 2020 without slipping once. And I'm not boasting, because it's all the past — that's the past; it's gone. I live in the moment. I don't think about yesterday or tomorrow; I'm living now. But I'm grateful that I've been able to get this far without failing. Not failing — that's the wrong word. Without a slip off the wagon — whatever the term is. I'm grateful that I've been able to get this far and stay clean and sober. Because if I didn't, who knows where I would have gone and where I would have ended up?"
Halford credited his belief in a higher power for helping him in his recovery. "When I got clean and sober, that was a major change in my life," he said during an appearance on HATEBREED frontman Jamey Jasta's official podcast, "The Jasta Show". "And part of my recovery is just having this higher-power belief. And it works. It works, man. It really, really is important."
Halford added: "There probably will be people listening to [this] podcast who don't have anything like that in their life, and that's great; it's all about acceptance. But I always say to people, if you're thinking about it, the simplest thing I do is I pray. I pray quite a bit, actually. And even if you don't believe in prayer, just have a go. Pray for a good day, or just pray for your friend, or whatever it might be. And it's amazing, man, 'cause it absolutely works. I guarantee, it genuinely does work. And now I'm sounding like [American evangelical Christian evangelist] Billy Graham, but I'm just trying to express some of the things that are important to me on a day-to-day basis that make me able to walk out on that stage each night and do my work."
In an interview with Classic Rock Revisited, Halford said that he quit using substances because he "was sick and tired of feeling sick and tired. I will always remember the first show I did clean and sober… It was in New Mexico, in Albuquerque," he recalled. "I literally felt elevated, as everything was coming with such clarity. I was able to really… enjoy the performance of JUDAS PRIEST without having all of the other things in front of it. Since that day, it has been a miracle."
Halford added, "Everybody has to face things in their lives at some point. It [doesn't have to] be booze and drugs. You can eat too much, or you can not exercise, or whatever… It is not easy staying clean and sober in rock and roll. There are temptations galore from the moment you wake up to the moment you go to sleep, especially when you're on the road. [But] I think we're some of the strongest people, my friends and my sober brothers in metal."
Rob's autobiography, "Confess", in which he discusses his journey to sobriety, arrived in September 2020 via Hachette Books. It was written with Ian Gittins, co-writer of "The Heroin Diaries" by Nikki Sixx.

Роб молодец - смог превозмочь. А я вот не могу по сей день: мне порой откровенно скучно без спиртного.
И, кстати, из моих местных дружбанов, в разное время оставивших этот мир именно из-за пристрастия к бутылке, никто никогда не буянил: психологически они всегда были достаточно адекватны. Их подкосило то, что их и без того не стальные организмы были попросту отравлены и в какой-то момент просто отказывались "работать дальше" (на языке медицины это называется "общее отравление организма" и - лишь изредка - "инфаркт").
Я вот сейчас попытался вспомнить, сколько уже лет я курю. Вспомнил: с 1982 года, т. е. 42 года. И радоваться тут, разумеется, нечему.
Допустим, курение. Совершенно бесспорно, что оно вредит здоровью, может и убить в случае онкологии. Человек докурился до проблем, и что он делает? Идет к врачу. Но ведь он знал о последствиях для себя, не проще было бы просто не курить? Никто за этот "кайф" болеть/умирать не готов, хотя все в курсе, что и чем чревато.
В системе государственной медицины нет разницы, почему человек приобрел то или иное заболевание - записывайтесь, становитесь в очередь, ожидайте. Почему одинаковый приоритет имеют случаи рака из-за неудачной генетики и из-за самодеструктивного образа жизни? Это нихуя несправедливо. Всех курильщиков с раком легких нужно выпиздить нахуй из государственных больниц, сами, долбоебы, виноваты, с хуя ли из-за них в очереди должны стоять люди, которым просто не повезло?
Но к вопросу об алкашах... Короче в мае у меня подруга умерла, и летом ей бы исполнилось 36 лет. Я частенько подмечал, что она любит пригубит коньячку, но трезвая и пьяная она вела себя практически одинаково, ну то есть под градусом она никогда не говорила и не творила хуйни, при любых условиях, так сказать, сохраняла лицо. Года три назад чё-то со здоровьем началась какая-то беда, то одно, то другое, и так со временем уже дошло до переливания крови и прочих радикальных мер. Итог я уже написал выше.
Через неделю после её смерти стояли мы с её мужем на остановке и ждали автобус, чтобы до кладбища доехать, и обсуждали, как же так, умерла от цирроза, хотя бухала уж точно не больше нас.
А вот перед Новым годом я к нему заезжал пиваса бахнуть, и он сказал, что нашёл по всему дому такое количество нычек с водочкой, что просто охуел, и походу дела подруга наша сидела на стакане так сильно, что её может и трезвой-то никто много лет не видел.
В общем и правда бухло это дело такое, я вот вроде прибухиваю периодически, но я по пьяни реально могу сказать кому-нибудь что-нибудь лишнее, за что будет стрёмно потом, и наверное это тот фактор, который позволяет не так сильно углубляться. А вот когда чувствуешь, что у твоей личности и бутылочки с бухлом происходит очень гармоничный симбиоз, то есть большие шансы на бесславный проигрыш. Так что вполне хороший шаг завязать раз и навсегда, если алкоголь прям реально мешает жить, но нужно иметь невъебенные силы, чтобы это признать и побороть своих демонов.
Сильнее запах дыма в дыхании курильщика бесит. 11 лет не курю:) то ли чувствительный стал то ли сигареты совсем говно стали и запах невыносимый
То есть люди просто не умеют пить "как все", скатываются в алкоголизм. Тогда только минералочка, конечно.
