Liam Neeson Quits Drinking, Says He Loves Living Sober

Liam Neeson has announced in a new interview that he is sober.

Following the death of his wife, Neeson struggled with drinking "too much," but now, the actor is loving the sober life.

"I was drinking too much. It started since my wife died," Neeson explained to GQ Magazine in a new interview.

On March 18, 2009, Neeson's wife, Natasha Richardson, lost her life after suffering a severe head injury while skiing at the Mont Tremblant Ski Resort in Quebec. At the time of her death, she and Neeson had been married for nearly fifteen years.

After they were married, Neeson and Richardson welcomed two children, Micheal, born in 1995, and Daniel, born in 1996.

Although raising his teenage boys alone certainly wasn't his plan, Neeson said they are doing okay. He also noted that he would love to have Richardson around to share all that they are experiencing.

As for what he worries most about when it comes to raising teenagers, Neeson admitted drugs are his worst fear.

"It's f––ing drugs," he says. "It's a virus. A teenager can take it and suddenly they can be hooked, and it changes their life and their family's forever. That's my constant worry. And I trust them, and they're sensible boys, but it can be just that chemistry that doesn't work."

In regard to his newfound sobriety, Neeson told the magazine, "It's been great. I love it."
