My 34 years have shown me I can deal with life’s highest highs and lowest lows without escaping or dodging one precious moment.

Macklemore on the ‘power’ of sharing the truth about sobriety, including relapses

Those lessons, particularly the ones about physical appearance — Yeah, I got all this plastic surgery. My mother’s lesson to me regarding womanhood was about being as beautiful as you can at all times. It doesn’t mean that you put on a full face of makeup to watch the Lifetime movie on Sunday when you’re at home by yourself.

In and out in just 47 seconds, ‘Straight Edge’ perfectly lays out his mantra. I first took a drink of alcohol when I was 14 years old. I stole it from my parents’ liquor cabinet, which was above the refrigerator.

Think Florida shuffleboard fun, but with Brooklyn DJs, food trucks and board games too. It costs $40 an hour to play and everybody gets a complimentary lesson. They offer non-alcoholic beverages in their packages as well as boozier options. In addition to King, Chyna is also mom to daughter Dream Kardashian, 6, who she shares with ex Rob Kardashian.

Gucci Mane’s’ story with alcohol and drugs is one of radical transformation.

He will always be my family, because we have a 19-year-old son, and we were together for 25 years and married for 21. People want me to hate and scream and talk.

That did not, however, stop Pharrell from famously launched a women-focused liquer, Qream, in 2011. Clearly, sobriety has not dampened Tyler’s creativity. He is celebrated as one of the most innovative hip-hop sober rappers artists of our generation. Notably, drug usage has troubled the career of Glo Gang boss Chief Keef. Not long ago Sosa finished his stint at a rehab center, though we know what his response was to that.
