“I didn’t tell anybody outside of the [people] closest to me,” he explained. “That was my first time I ever went to rehab.”
During his time there, the Grammy nominee, 34, learned “so many ways to operate [his] body and show where [his] anger is coming from and the methods to quell it.”
MGK (real name: Colson Baker) noted that while some of his psychiatrists and therapists “gave up on [him],” he “ended up falling into an awareness of what [his] condition is and has made peace with it.”
The rocker, who called his condition “a constant tightrope walk,” did not elaborate further.
“That one feels a little too brand new for me to confidently say,” he told listeners.
MGK did, however, gush over his on-again, off-again partner, Megan Fox , calling her “extremely helpful” in his sobriety journey — specifically with his “psychological withdrawals.”
“I continue to embrace that this journey is gonna be hard for me, but I accept it and forgive myself,” the self-proclaimed ”self-deprecating” songwriter added.
“I’m also really hard on myself,” he continued. “I’m just happy that I’m able to start to be comfortable enough to show people who I am because I kind of depended on my art to do that.”
During the lengthy episode, which spanned nearly two hours, MGK said that he used to abuse “weed and alcohol,” as well as hydrocodone and Percocet, and admitted that he “loved snorting Vyvans.”
Host Bunnie XO praised MGK for “hold[ing] to that” when her husband, Jelly Roll, wanted to have a “drinking contest.”
