George Michael sheds a stone through drug counselling

from Monsters & Critics
George Michael has revealed that entering drugs counselling has helped him lose more than a stone.

The 48-year-old singer served time in jail after crashing his car into the front of Snappy Snaps photo shop last year whilst under the influence of drugs. He said that after ten months of therapy he finally fits back in his clothes.

The Sun reported that at the opening show of his European tour in Prague he told fans, 'I've been in counselling for substance abuse for nearly ten months, and part of the advantage of that is I've dropped about 14 or 15lbs. All my old clothes fit me.

'I wouldn't say I'm looking in the mirror but it's definitely one of the advantages of being cleaner.'

Talking about his four-week jail spell, he added, 'I felt I had a bill to pay and I thought that prison was a logical conclusion to a very dark chapter.

'I wouldn't say it was a good experience, but it was a logical experience.

'Of course within a week, because there was barely anything else to do in there, I was back hooked on the nicotine.

'Now I'm trying not to smoke cigarettes - what I've found is tweeting gives me something to do.'
