Then "To confess, I had a serious alcohol addiction in the past. Nevertheless, it gradually decreased. Your will is important just by quitting smoking, but you also need the help of others. The same goes for alcohol. It's hard to stop him if he says, "I hate drinking" he said.
He said "You have to talk with all your heart, not hate it. My wife can't drink a drop of alcohol. But I've never blamed him for watching me drink. Rather, he recommended exercising. It's best to be addicted to love," he said, talking about his wife who supported him.
At the same time, he joked that `It's a problem that you don't hang up.'"As you get older, it shrinks by itself. It is important to drink safely as well," he said, cheering for overcoming it with love.
