Great read…
Lukas Nelson, son of the legendary Willie Nelson, has opened up about how quitting w**d and alcohol has transformed his life.
In a recent issue of PEOPLE, the 37-year-old country musician spoke candidly about quitting his vices. The Nelson family have always been closely associated with ma*****na and getting high. But it looks like both father and son are finished with smoking the green.
Note that they’re done smoking, as both will have a mushroom or an edible very occasionally.
Lukas Nelson said, “Every time I took a drink or smoked w**d, it just f—-d my sleep up. I think I honestly can credit the WHOOP band for making me stop drinking.”
“Because I was just like, even one drink, it just screws it up so bad that I was like, ‘I’d rather wake up feeling good.’”
Healthy sleeping habits are the backbone to having a good day, and have enough good days, you’re gonna have a good life.
Lukas Nelson explained that quitting ma*****na helped his achieve his goals, too.
“I got my pilot’s license, and did all these things that I wanted to do that when I was smoking a lot of w**d, I never would’ve tried, because I’d have figured I probably shouldn’t do both those things at the same time,” he sensibly reckoned.
Now he’s able to fly and been off alcohol and w**d for a while, he’s happier and mentally healthier. He further said that he’s been able to be the man he wants to be and he’s much happier.
“I got clear with myself and I faced a lot of my fears and I realized they weren’t that scary after all,” he said. “Now I can be clear with myself and not want to run away from myself, which is great. I get high from making the right decision every time. I’m addicted to that high now of saying no. It’s a great feeling.”
So we really got both Nelsons quitting ma*****na before GTA VI. What a timeline we’re in, huh?
