On July 4, the rock icon’s longtime girlfriend Meegan Hodges shared a photo of him and paid tribute in a reverse caption on Instagram.
She wrote, “I love you to the moon and back!“Congratulations on your 15 YEARS of SOBRIETY! ‘An addict who achieves recovery is capable of achieving anything’ (wise words someone said). I am so very proud of you every day but today I am so very extra proud of you”.
Earlier Slash was diagnosed with cardiomyopathy due to his heavy alcohol misuse. He has also discussed his struggles with alcohol and heroin addiction openly in front of all. In a statement he said, “I come from, not an alcoholic background, but my dad was a drinker, and people in my family were drinkers, and being born in England that was just part of pub culture”.
He also added,“[I] know that if I thought I could casually have a drink or casually do whatever, that would leave that door open. I know how that works, because I’ve done it before, so I just abstain from it all together”.
Slash Discussed his fights with alcohol in his autobiography. So said that he wanted to end his depravity and he also admitted it willingly. Finally, he got it. Rehab helped him a lot.
In his biography, he said, “I learned more about myself than I ever thought was possible. And I’ve been sober ever since.” In late July Guns N’ Roses will takeoff for a US stadium tour.
