Gucci Mane Speaks On The Key To Sobriety

Gucci Mane used prison to sober up.

He's spoken extensively on how much better his life has been clean.

During an appearance on ESPN’s His & Hers, he explained how cockiness keeps him drug and alcohol free.

“It’s easy to me. Like you say, I live an extravagant lifestyle. And to me, it’s kind of even being more cocky. I love to tell someone, ‘Hey listen, I don’t do drugs. I’m sorry baby, but I don’t want anything to drink, I’ll take a water.’ I take pride in it. I like the responses. It surprises people, and it kind of throws them off. But you know, I don’t want to be predictable. I don’t want to do what everybody else does. I’m doing this for me," Gucci explained.
