"you dont complain about it. You just do it. Like a fuckin man." that should be the takeaway from this imo.

I was a drunk for 23 years.. Sober for 3 years now and the change was hard at first but I feel better about life in general now. Stay true zakk. Respect for you brother.

I love how Zakk always honors his roots: Ozzy, Dime, Rhoads, EVH, Hendrix.. I get the sense that he brings forward everything he learned from the boss man (Ozzy) into BLS. He's amazing.

“Go light on the mustard” *does 10 pinch harmonics in one bar of music*

No More Beers

Giving up cigarettes alcohol was the best thing I ever did in my life.. now I bodybuilding and skateboard. Live life

12 years sober... Jumped on the wagon and held on, cause whoever was drivin' that thing really wanted me to fall off.

I'm trying to get into rehab as I type this. I'm exhausted. I've lost my money, my will, everything. Watching this gave me some glimmer of hope.

Zakk is the last of a rare and dying breed. The only old school full tilt bluesy metal guitar god still smashing out jams. Truly one of metals precious gems.

Nothing cool about being an alcoholic. He made the right choice, his wife, his kids, life!

I'm so Proud of those that successfully recover from alcoholism

601 days off Heroin and Meth.

I hope Zakk's words of wisdom helps those who struggle with alcohol addiction.

It seems like everything Zakk says is a joke, but there is a ton of wisdom and sincerity behind all that.

Zakk is one of the main reasons why I'm sober now. My other reason was that I wanted to get sober. I had begun experimenting with staying sober by going certain periods of time before I cracked and fell off the wagon. I'd go a few days, fall, then a week, fall, then a couple of weeks, fall, then a few weeks, fall. Sometimes, I would fall back to every few days, then a week again, and then a couple of weeks, and then a few weeks again. At the end, I had 4 beers left from an 8 pack after a weekend of drinking (turned into three beers since i lost one in a cab ride home), and i said to myself, "After work tonight, I'm going to have one. Tomorrow night, I'm going to put down the last two, and that's going to be the end." That second night, I put down my last two, and I said to myself, "That's it. I'm done. The bar is closed. " I finished the last of my two beers on June 9th, 12:30 a.m., 2021. I haven't touched alcohol ever since. I thank Zakk for giving me the incentive to give it another try. I thought if he could do it, then so can I.

I was never an alcoholic, but I grew up around them. It wrecks your life. I may have partied too hard at times, but I never felt like I had to have it or I couldn't function or anything like that. My hats off and total respect to those of you that quit. I imagine that it was quite hard to do for some of you. You're life is better for it. There are people that love you and depend on you. Do it for them. They need you.

2 bottles of Cuervo a day until I started puking and shitting blood. Sobriety date is 12/18/94. I drank all mine on the front end and quit when I was 27.

2:44 Truer words have never been spoken.

I'm happy he's sober. He was really pounding the booze for years. We need Zakk around. Metal needs Zakk. Guitar needs Zakk.

I'm glad Zack did the right thing. No one is immortal.

Zakk is, was, and always will be the fucking man. I'm ten years off of dope and miss nothing about it whatsoever. I still have the occasional beer or shot or 2 to take the edge off but nothing like before. Thanks for getting well and being an inspiration to us zakk! SDMF

Zakk is a great storyteller. Not only music artist but word artist as well. It's like he's reading a well-written book when he speaks.

Zakk Wylde calls Sharon Mom because both his parents are dead and Ozzy and Sharon knew Zakk for so long that they think of Zakk as a family member.

'I still make his sandwiches to this day' He loves that man! Randy clearly gave Zakk as a gift to Ozzy - long live Rock and Roll x

Have been a daily drinker for 6 years or so. Recently got through 9 days totally sober but fell back into it pretty hard. This made me break down and love myself again. Fuck addiction and especially Alcohol. Thanks Zakk.

5 years now myself .I was facing the same delimna. It takes a man to face his demons

November 18th 2018. 8 years sober for me!! No rehab, I did it one day at a time. Every day you have a choice a new beginning to want to want do it for yourself! Stay strong, do it for yourself! Alcohol is the worst drug, and its legal!!

38 years sober. In one meeting with God every addiction I had was removed immediately. The hardest thing to give up was my cigarette habit of 3 packs per day... actually that to was gone by the next morning. My Dad was an alcoholic and a killer. I was on the same path. I owe all to God who rescued me when I couldn't help myself.

I moved to Houston in 2012 for business and was an alcohol driven mess. I’ve always liked BLS and pride & glory... but really sat down and gave everything a listen to therapeutically. This is July 2018.... I’ve been sober since August 2013. Gave it up cold turkey.... had to make the change in life for my kids. And it’s worth every minute of it. Thanks Zakk, Ozz, and the members of bls and price & glory. Probably wouldn’t be alive today without you

That was cool as Hell. Zakk and his wisdom. Respect 😎💀😎

I didn't drink or smoke to much just your average teenage amount. But like Zack at 42 yrs, he's only a year older then me. I had a blood clot in both lungs, doctors said if I had not gone to hospital, would not be here today. But I then had another bout of the blood clot 2 yrs ago. Now I am on a pill for life, hopefully will be around for my kid and wife and able to keep rockin on the guitar.

I think that Dime would have gone the same road.

Met Zakk on several occasions. Once of the nicest, humble, and fun guys. Great stuff Zakk! You are an inspiration to so many.

He looks big and healthy and Viking-like. He's blessed.

I'm 31, I'll have 4 years sober March 14th, videos like this help keep me sober. Thank you Zakk. One day at a time.

How can you not love this guy, such a sense of humor.

5 years sober this may and no rehab it can be done S.D.M.F

Not quite the same I know, but my then 7yr old daughter came to me crying & said “Gram said you’ll die if you keep smoking. Please don’t die” 😳 On 1/1/98 at 3:30pm I put out the last cig in my pack & haven’t touched one since. Family is ALWAYS more important! To all of you that are clean, CONGRATS!! To those struggling, drugs & alcohol are never the answer. You’re worth SO much more! @zakkwyldebls

Amen! If you want to quit alcohol you have to man up and do it because no one can do it for you. You got to want it! It’s not too late to change.

Good luck I've been sober for 30 years now. The 70s and 80s were tough.

My whole life I've looked up to Randy, Dimebag, Zakk, and the goat Ozzy . Last month I lost my best friend and cousin to a lifelong battle with anything she could get her hands on. She lost both of her children. I couldn't do anything for her. I seemed to be enabling her. I hope her story as well as the other stories shared here will help you keep strong. Our angels are gone, but *we* have a choice for the ones that love us, if not for the simple fact, LIFE IS BEAUTIFUL. WE don't need to run, escape, have false courage. When our loved ones have an addiction, so do we. Love and positive energy! I pray for Zakk and Ozzy both right now.

"Go Light on the Mustard" Now, THAT is a BLS album title if I ever heard one

SDMF! (Strength, determination, merciless forever) these words rings true with everything this man does 🤘

My favorite ozzy quote to this day is " Be nice to the people on your way up, because I promise you will see them on your way down".

Mad respect for Zakk. Thank you for the series, Revolver.

I drank with Zakk when he came to our local radio station - Heinekens and Crown Royal. We toasted Dime. I've got almost ten years sober now. My pancreas finally waved the white flag and that was it - done!

He has had the world at his feet, gifted musician incredible career and alcohol almost destroyed him. He made the right choice and good on him

I have nearly 15 years. Alcohol is... The road to no where.

Inspiring on so many levels.

Pearls of wisdom from a great guy and an awesome guitar player. Thank you for sharing this.

Been a fan since he first got w/Ozzy in 1988.. Zakk has done something most of my motorcycle buddies haven't as they got older; he learned that father time is tougher than anyone...and he's learned to respect it. God bless ya Zakk...you've actually got live AND tell the tale.

I got 5 years as of Jan. 3rd 2019...can't believe the difference, Thank you for sharing Zakk.

What an awesome dude, Love and RESPECT Zakk! Live long buddy, we've lost so many already!

going on 8 years of total sobriety all on my own. AA just made me wanna drink so doing it my way when I was ready is what stuck. This is not about time for me but a permanent lifestyle change and I'm happier than I've ever been. No regrets, if you drink have fun and be careful cause it will sneak up on ya when you're having too much fun. Zakk is right, and I found out the same thing, you have to want it. Here's to life,love and music...Cheers!!!

When I was 42, the docs gave me 3-5 years left on my liver. I drank for another 7 months, and got sober, thankfully. 12 years sober now, my life is 100% better. I my health had not turned horrible, and wanted to not be sick, every moment- I'd be dead. Nothing wrong with putting down the bottle, and kicking ass. But, you gotta want it...much love Zakk. 🤘🐵

At the end of the video, you can see how much Zakk loves and respects Ozzy! And that's what making music together is all about. Love and Respect. Peace, brother and keep on ROCKIN'...

love this man,I stopped drinking 9 yrs ago and I love it...every day is struggle though...keep on fighting my brothers!

8 months, 23 days, and 21 hours for me!

Such a legend. Stay strong brother. I love the way he always undermimes himself to Dime & Randy, he isnt big headed like most, even tho hes deffinatly one of the best guitarests to ever live!

Been 7 months sober. Thanks Father Zakk for choosing life. And for giving us the Zakk Sabbath album. SDMF Beyond Forever. Rolling Black Label. West TX chapter!

Zakk is a genuinely good dude. I’ve always looked up to him as a musician and as a man in an industry where there are so many sock puppets. I’m a military guy by trade but this guy’s music has fueled me since I was a little kid. Glad to hear you are gonna keep kicking man.

It's up to you is correct ! I love that dude 🤘🏻

Zakk , thanks for saving your life. You're an amazing guitarist, but more importantly you're an awesome human being. We all look forward to many more years of your musical endeavors.

Honestly I've never been a huge fan of his style of playing (although it was always undeniably strong and shocking). But at the same hand, his personality, his passion and his attitude have always put me to respect and admire him as a huge human being. And man... what a tremendous lesson he is teaching us now in 2018, after decades building true career and a true life! Long live Zakk Wylde!

some people need that poke in the eye..respect Zak

Heavy stuff man. But go light on the mustard.

I got clean 5 years ago this coming June while my parents where on vacation for two weeks. No rehab but there was definitely a Devine intervention going on. Thanks Danny. It can be done but it would of been a lot easier if I had gone to rehab rather than learn the skills on my own. It’s more to it than just say no. It’s strong support and a strong will to survive this life on life’s terms. Life is tough but to those out there your tougher.!!!!! ❤️ To my kids thanks for not giving up on me thanks for giving me a reason to fight through 10 long damn years of addiction. Your my hero’s.........💋💋💋💋❤️❤️❤️❤️🌷🌷🌷🌷😁😁😁😁

Glad to hear everybody in the comment section is "so many days sober" but c'mon this is one of the best f****** interviews ever.. Nearly brought me to tears, and i think that it deserves more than me, me, me bullshit. Hell..take Zakk for an example on how to be in life when things get hard..Right?

Lmao that bit about Ozzy!!! He is amazing! He can be more profound than some would think... love it.

He really loves and respects Ozzy, he's like a father figure.

14 yrs clean and sober this past October. Though still crazy fuckin wild...lol.......LIVE LIFE TO THE FULLEST AND PRAY .

The music is, and always was, the greatest high. Zak shakes them strings like there is no tomorrow.

He looks so good now for giving up alcohol Bless him glad he’s okay loved him since pride and glory days x

Saint Dime and Saint Rhoads.

Love zakk ! that is one of the best tips on getting sober.. no one but you are going help .. until you reach rock bottom and grow up ... it takes a man to get sober.. been sober 36 years... I was 21 years old and almost dead from liver disease... you can do it... thanks zakk for sharing 👍

Sometimes it's about knowing when the time comes to listen to the smarter voice in the room - fair play to him for knowing when that time was & sticking to it, shows that he's learned from those who've come before him & wants to leave a better example for those to come.

Be a Man Spoken like true Words Of Wisdom. Bang on Zakk.

I've got 21yrs sober by the grace of God, my heart goes out to those still in the struggle

A good message for the masses. I figured it out at 33 and haven't drunk since, but I really was finally willing to change. I can handle one day at a time, sometimes by the hour, but it works. Looking back over the last 37 years of sobriety, I haven't missed anything and have had some of the best times ever. Have four beautiful children who never saw me drunk and have a lot of gratitude to my Higher Power. Thanks again. Be safe, and ROCK ON!

I'm glad the doctor put it to him in a way that he could understand and really put it through to him

25 + years clean and sober. You have to decide what you want and who you want to be.

416 days free from heroin, meth, and alcohol. Take it day by day my brothers, tomorrow will always be a better day!

Respect!!!Im forty and quit drinking but held on to smoking pot...I’m ready to quit smoking pot now and just focus on my health now...And life is as tough as we make it as a whole people on this fucking planet...

Deep stuff. Incredible when people are this open and honest. It actually makes a person stronger to show his/her vulnerabilities

Remember when we used to have a good time drinking? When you're not having a good time anymore it's time to end it. How you do it is up to you

Right on Zakk 👍

It's awesome to see that Ozzy's and Zakk's friendship is based on respect and mutal understanding. So tough. Great guys.

Great to see your favorite musicians overcome these things. It's an inspiration. Almost a month here. I'm sick of the shit. Feeling awful and wasting tons of money.

One of the greatest guitar players in the world.

Love it. Finally someone with some self control. Don't fucking blame it on anything but you! Calling addiction a desease is just another excuse. Its called man up and control yourself. The drugs don't enter your body unless you put them there!

Love when he said Saint Dime, and Saint Randy. He's showing respect for two of the best that got taken away from us too soon. Thanks dude. You're a class act. Not to mention an amazing guitar player.

Watching this a few days after Eddie Van Halen died from throat cancer and having quit smoking tobacco myself 7 years ago I can relate and have much respect for you staying off the booze too Zakk. So sad to see so many people die young from abusing their bodies and warms the heart every time someone breaks the cycle and choses life and love over addiction!

You can see the Love Zakk has for Ozzy in his eyes when he talks about still making Ozzy's sandwiches.

Zack Wylde quote of the decade!..... "not 24/7 ...like..25/8!" The the new "but mine goes to 11!"

"You just fucking play...banged up...smashed up...you just play. And you dont complain about it you just do it. Like a fucking man." Greatest quote of all time from one of the greatest all time.

I am a young struggling alcoholic and this is everything!

God Bless Zakk Wylde 🤘🏼

Sober 14 months from the University of heavy metal we're here for you zack

Love the interview!! Absolutely right, gotta put the work in.

Makes me really happy to see my favorite guitarists clean up
