Posted June 26, 200619 yr RED HOT CHILI PEPPERS rocker ANTHONY KIEDIS has vowed never to take drugs again, because he has achieved so much since getting clean. The UNDER THE BRIDGE singer now devotes himself to meditation and prayer, and insists nothing could convince him to revert back to his old ways. He says, "It wouldn't be just one incident. It would take me discontinuing the daily maintenance that has become a part of my life. "Things like prayer and meditation. It would take a change in the personal behaviour that keeps me from being too much of a self-centred a*shole. "They're simple ideas but they're important for me to live by so I don't have the need to change the way I feel with a chemical - because that's just a short-cut to feeling ok." From ContactMusic Well personally I always had a feeling that he may go back to drugs one day and COULD potentially destroy everything but I guess this is good news.
June 26, 200619 yr I still think he'll go back to drugs one day, I really hope he doesn't but I have a feeling that he still will.
June 29, 200619 yr Author How long has he been off them? Quite a while now. I don't know the exact amount of years but he was at the height of his drug-taking when he released Under The Bridge.
July 24, 200618 yr hmm i knew he was on drugs..but i dnt tink he wud relle sink bak in2 it i kno his therapist helped him a lot thats wat Venice Queen is about..in rehab she helped him so much he brout her a house on venice beach! x x x
September 25, 200618 yr I think it was probably the death of his friend and former RHCP guitarist Hilel Slovek which both made him sink deeper into drugs, but then eventually made him come out of it.... I hope he stays on the wagon, the world has lost too many talented people to heroin and cocaine....
September 25, 200618 yr drugs in moderation can be ok but moderation is the problem There's really no such thing as 'moderation' when it comes to the stuff he was taking....
