If I have a problem, stuff`s going through my head, I feel like using, I usually go and talk to my dad... I decided to get sober a lot younger than he did. He first tried to get sober when he was like 32, I believe.
I`m totally grateful for the fans my family has and I have; they gave me a lot of support when I was in treatment. But it was just odd, you know? It`s stressful. Just the whole fact of being someone in the public eye.
I`d read things, like people criticizing me. But no one likes to read stuff about that, and probably the main thing that was getting to me was me mum`s illness.
I was hanging out with no one under 21. I thought that if I really wanted to fit in I had to... show them that I was in a way just as adult as they were, `cause I could hold my own just as well as they could, if not better.
