Drinking can give people a world of trouble. In Tim McGraw’s case…he says his sobriety path would not have been possible without his wife Faith Hill’s support.

McGraw said, “I don’t think I could stand up straight without leaning on her in everything that I do.”  He continued, “It is not a linear path. There’s setbacks and there’s times you move forward and do great, and there’s times you set back.”

He added, “And that’ll probably be a process throughout the rest of my life and something that I have to be diligent about and really continue to work at. And I think [my song ‘Hey Whiskey’] is helpful in that regard. It was very cathartic to me, in a lot of ways.”

You’ll be able to hear his new song “Hey Whiskey” on his new album which will be released on Friday, August 25th.
