Dougie Poynter of British band McFly revealed that being sober is the “best thing he’s ever done”. Poynter has been sober for eight years and revealed to The Sun Online that “The first two years of being sober were the hardest, and the third year was the best. You’re doing everything for the first time – Christmas, birthdays, New Years. The second year you’re like, OK, last New Year’s sucked, that was kind of worrying. But the third year you have got so much stuff going on.” He added that: “I’ve been sober for almost eight years. It has changed my life dramatically. You’re a bit of a prisoner.” Before telling how [the decision] was “single-handedly the best thing I ever did”.
