Deryck Whibley Opens Up About His Recovery

Deryck Whibley, former Sum 41 frontman, ex-husband of Avril Lavigne, and ex-boyfriend of Paris Hilton, recently sat down for an interview with Vice to talk about his sobriety. The publication quotes him as follows:

"The doctors said I was lucky to be alive and that there was still a chance I could die. I do look back and think about how much worse it could have been. I could have had way more health problems than I had, but my liver is fine! Everything shut down before any more damage could happen. To walk out of there alive, without cirrhosis or needing transplants, you know, it could have been worse. I’m glad it happened now and not when I’m like, 50, because my body wouldn’t have been able to handle it. But it’s unfortunate that it had to even come to that. However, now I’m feeling better than I’ve ever felt. I’m healthier. I’m in the best shape of my life. I’m more productive. Well, I was always really productive, but I was just good at being a functional alcoholic.”
