Machine Gun Kelly changed perspective to get sober

OHMYGOSSIP — Machine Gun Kelly changed his perspective on life in order to get sober.
The 34-year-old star – whose real name is Colson Baker – revealed in August he had stopped taking drugs and hadn’t drank alcohol for a year, and explained he needed to “zoom out” and focus on the “generational curses” that he needed to address in order to get clean.
He told People magazine: “I had to zoom out and take a look at myself from a holistic perspective.
“I was born on the 22nd. Twenty-two is a master number. What am I here to master? I had to ask myself that question.
“What were my generational curses and problems that were passed down on to me and to my father? Rest in peace.”
The ‘Emo Girl’ hitmaker – who has 13-year-old daughter Casie with former partner Emma Cannon and is in a relationship with Megan Fox – found clarity by understanding it is his “job to be a good man”.
He added: “I find solace in knowing that I can, you know, punish myself today so that I can forgive myself tomorrow.
“I have a daughter who I love with all of my heart and would die for. And I have a beautiful family and a beautiful group of friends and a beautiful life to live for. And I’m not in a haze anymore to not realise that.”
The ‘Lonely Road’ singer previously explained he went to rehab following his European tour in 2023 but kept it secret at the time.
He said on the ‘Dumb Blonde’ podcast: “I didn’t tell anybody outside of the [people] closest to me.
“That was my first time I ever went to rehab. They just gave me so many ways to operate the body and show where this anger is coming from and methods to quell it.”
MGK subsequently acknowledged that his sobriety journey is a “constant tightrope walk”.
He said: “I met with a lot of psychiatrists, some who gave up on me and many therapists who did the same.
“But I ended up falling into an awareness of what my condition is and have made peace with it. It’s a constant tightrope walk.”
