Joey McIntyre Celebrates Two Years Sober

Joey McIntyre, known for his work with New Kids on the Block, recently marked a significant personal milestone: two years of sobriety. He shared this achievement through an Instagram video, reflecting on his journey and encouraging others who might be considering a similar path. McIntyre emphasized that while sobriety doesn't equate to a perfect life, it has undeniably made his life better.

In his video, he directly addressed potential doubts, stating, "It's possible, folks. If you're thinking, 'I could never do that. It won't be fun. I'll never laugh again.' It's not true." This celebration comes after McIntyre had previously disclosed a seven-month period of sobriety in an interview in October 2024, indicating a longer-term commitment to his well-being.

McIntyre has spoken about his motivations for pursuing sobriety, citing spiritual reasons more than physical ones. He noted that since abstaining from alcohol, his perceived 'bandwidth' has expanded significantly, allowing him to be more available for various aspects of his life and creating a greater sense of spaciousness. His announcement garnered support from fellow celebrities, including AJ McLean of the Backstreet Boys, who welcomed him to a "sober club."
