Justin Moore is sharing the moment that pushed him toward rehabilitation for alcohol use.

Moore, who abruptly paused his tour in June citing a need to focus on his health, recently appeared on Tracy Lawrence’s TL’s Road House podcast.

“A drink at 5 [p.m.] turned into three at noon and then before you know it it’s all day every day. Everybody grew up except me. I was hanging on by a thread.”

The Arkansas-born singer said drinking began affecting his family, professionalism, and faith.

A moment after church with his wife Kate prompted his decision to seek help.

Moore reports he is now 65 days sober. “I feel like myself for the first time in a while,” he said.
