Now, nearly two decades sober, Jack can look back on that chapter of his life and remember what drove him to that dark place and how he got himself out of it.
Ozzy and Jack have bonded, and without substances getting in the way, they are free to express their opinions with each other and find common ground. These expressions can lead to the collapse of family relationships and the destruction of other significant relationships. Every single day is a struggle to stay sober, but one he does for the benefit of his family. For the first time, she can look forward to family gatherings without Ozzy saying something to rile Jack up, and Jack taking the bait leading to a massive row.

Don't show this popup again. However, life in the spotlight is rarely as lovely as it looks. Ozzy was no stranger to being in and out of rehab.
Yet, today, both Jack and Ozzy have overcome this damaging substance dependence. Call Now: Share Post. More details. Ozzy: I think the first time I took a drink. I needed help to get the next drink. And I never went for a drink. I went to get fucking smashed.
I just checked out every day. And that becomes a way of life. In England, the thing is the pubs. Sharon: I knew nothing about alcoholism. I had worked with a lot of musicians, a lot of actors. They just like to drink. And that was exactly 36 years ago. Sharon: I read the stories that she was there for drugs and drink, but I knew nothing about AA.
I knew nothing about what happens there for your recovery , nothing about how they educate you. We lived in the countryside, way up north in England. And it was very barren, and all there was were the pubs.
I wanted to be the upside of it, because the upside of it, when things were great, it seemed like a lot of fun. I wanted the excitement of crazy adventures inebriated. Jack: It was like a bit of a staggered disclosure, if you will. I was suffering from a lot of depression in my early teens, and I was drinking a lot. I had not shown up to film something, and I was tucked away at the beach house my parents had at the time. And then I took off for a very long whirlwind of a weekend, and kind of came back home.
I was pretty much done at that point. Jack: I think it was just a matter of time. I think it just sped things up to the inevitable. Sharon: Oh, my Lord. I felt somewhat responsible. Also, at the same time, I thought if I had been awake, I know I would have been on the plane with him. It really fucked me up for a long while.
Sharon took it harder than anybody. She was the organizer of the band at that point. It was just one of them fucking things. It was a freak accident and all that. It was such a surreal thing. It takes a while to get over something so traumatic. What have you learned about making music with just your voice? But I have an ear for melody.
Do you think about that? You should be careful what you write about, when you do a song. For the time, it was perfect. Gene Simmons has said that rock is dead. Do you agree? Live, good rock music is not dead. But I think the record industry is really suffering now. There are only about two fucking record companies left.
Why should people buy records when they can download it. You can get anything now online. Will you be making another record soon? I would like to do another record. You can have 30 or 40 [ laughs ]. Nobody buys them. What is it about the U. America is a music capital for me. Where does your drive come from? I had a very poor upbringing.
