Brantley Gilbert Celebrates 6 Years Sober

Brantley Gilbert is celebrating his sixth year of being alcohol and opioid-free. So, when it comes to setting goals, he said he takes it one day at a time.

“With what I do for a living, everything’s so run and gun and it’s so last minute all the time. I feel like you schedule what you can, but for my life, even the last six years not drinking, it’s been a day to day thing. I set short-term goals. It helps me stay driven and motivated, and long-term goals have never been super successful for me when it comes to things like that. So, my pop’ll tell you, he’s my biker dad, he tells everybody that once I’m done with something, I’m done. So if I say I’m gonna be done with somethin’, then I do it, then I’m done with it. That quittin’ smokin’ thing is coming soon, but I don’t think it’d last if it was just a New Year’s resolution. If I come up with it in my mind, ‘Hey, this is what I need to do with my life and it needs to happen now,’ then I’ll set up my own little timing and execute it and stay away from it.”

Brantley just released a duet with Lindsay Ell called “What Happens in a Small Town.” The single will be on his next album due in 2019.
