Jon Pardi revealed in a recent interview that he's been sober since August 22nd. He mentioned health reasons as his main motivation. He was pre-diabetic, and it was time to start taking care of himself.
He also hated the way he looked. Quote, "I was getting to the point where every picture, every video, I was so unhappy with myself. I needed a break."
Quitting the bottle did the trick. He says the weight "fell off" his face . . . and he's loving it. Quote, "I just did a photo shoot. I was like, 'Damn, I look good.' Take THAT, Tito's [vodka]."
He's been drinking MOCKTAILS for a while now, and is "enjoying the ride." But he IS leaving the door open. Quote, "I will say I'm retired from drinking, but that doesn't mean I can't come out of retirement."
