Keith On The Wagon
Jan 24^th, 2010 at 11:17pm

Keef: I’m a Stone old sober

By GORDON SMART, Bizarre Editor, and JESS ROGERS
Published: Today

Rhythm and booze ... legendary drinker Keith

HELL-RAISING ROLLING STONE KEITH RICHARDS has gone on the wagon - despite claiming he would NEVER give up booze.

The 66-year-old rocker finally quit after getting strict orders from his doctor - and watching bandmate RONNIE WOOD's life unravel through alcoholism.

Now "Keef" has not touched a drop for FOUR MONTHS.

A friend said last night: "There's no guarantees that he'll stay off it - but he's doing really well so far."

Doctors had been telling Keith for years he needed to cut back on his boozing.

He once famously boasted he would never stop because he had OUTLIVED several medics who chided him about his constant partying.

But four years ago he suffered a brain haemorrhage after falling out of a palm tree during a booze-fuelled trip to Fiji with pal Ronnie - who later left wife JO for teenager KATIA IVANOVA.

Now doctors say Keith's hedonistic lifestyle is finally starting to take its toll.

A source close to the guitarist - married to former model PATTI HANSON for 26 years - said: "He has always quite enjoyed the fact that he seemed to be able to carry on drinking as much as he liked with no real negative impact on his health.

"But he has watched Ronnie fall well and truly off the wagon last year and he doesn't like what he sees.

"Plus he has started to feel for the first time like it might do him some good to give up the booze for a while."

And he does look a lot better than in 07.

if he enjoys weed, def. a healthier way to get high... booze and cigs are just bad for you... not even debatable. I'd still smoke weed, except it started making me lazy and I didn't enkoy it anymore... of all substances, except for caffeine, IMO, one of the safest drugs out there, if not used all the time... then you just get lazy and do nothing...

Just a question though: When did Keith stop his JD fixation? Didn't he transition to vodka? That sunkist orange soda with absolut is pretty refreshing.

After so many years of drinking, being sober feels like being high. Plus he's on dilantin for anti-seizure and that has a lot of side effects prob feels sick drinking on that stuff. Once you get the proper medicine to get u through withdrawal, you start to feel pretty good . I am glad Keith made the transition. He's too precious an entity and he's already suffered enough self abuse. GO KEEF!

Remember to keep your nose to the grindstone, your shoulder to the wheel, your feet on the ground, your eye on the ball, your ear to the ground, your finger on the pulse, your head on your shoulders, the pedal to the metal, a song in your heart, your hand on the helm and the bull by the horns
