As one who struggles with the disease of addiction. It's always good to hear from some one "famous" who struggles with the same disease and the constant battles that it brings to one's life. I can remember how liberating it was when Eric Clapton said he begins his day at the foot of his bed asking his Higher Power to keep him clean and humble. Now another rock icon has spoke at a drug rehabilitation program's graduation and commented on how powerful the disease of addiction really is. Steven Tyler has admitted his battle against drug and alcohol addiction will never end – and he’s joked that he’s better at taking drugs than writing or performing music. The Aerosmith frontman made the comments during a talk with graduates of a rehabilitation programme in Maui, revealing that his appearance made him feel nervous because he had no option but to be honest with fellow addiction victims. “I’m a better drug addict and alcoholic than I am a musician. I got to keep in check.” He’s been clean for five years after a relapse that nearly ended Aerosmith's career.
