Iggy Pop’s Lust for Life - In Sobriety
Rocker IGGY POP insists it’s much harder to relax now he is clean and sober - because he used to rely on smoking a joint to feel good.
The 59-year-old has adopted a healthy lifestyle, and claims the clean-living way of life is much harder to maintain.
He tells Spin magazine, “To feel good when I was 21, all I had to do was to smoke a joint.
“Now I have to turn off my phones, do tai chi for an hour, drink a strong cup of coffee, and stay away from bad people, so I can feel good for an hour or two, knowing when it ends, I’m gonna feel like the miserable 59-year-old prick that I actually am!”

When we allow what is given to us through grace to pull us away from the original path that led us to this grace we are doing an incredible disservice to ourselves and to humanity as a whole. I think Iggy recognized this and it made his convictions that much stronger in living a healthy lifestyle. I know someone like that.
