Fox News
Backstreet Boys' AJ McLean opens up about his four-year sobriety journey, parenting challenges, and finding his true identity beyond fame in an exclusive interview with Fox News Digital.
"The drugs and alcohol, for me, that was a Band-Aid. I suffered from something my best friend calls ‘Piece of s---ism.' I had no self-esteem." Christina Dugan Ramirez is an entertainment writer for Fox News Digital.
"I'm sober today. I can't tell you what's going to happen tomorrow. And I was sober yesterday. I stay in the now. I stay in the moment. I take everything in," McLean, who is gearing up to celebrate four years of sobriety this fall, said. "It is the age-old saying of stopping and smelling the roses. I actually physically stop and smell flowers. I have a different confidence — not arrogance, not ego — that I've never had. And it's a confidence that is empowering."
