The Dark Truth: How I Conquered 14 Years of Sobriety
Meet Mthandazo Gatya, a 37-year-old singer who’s been dodging the devil’s brew for an astonishing 14 years. The Award-winning hitmaker has been waging a war against his inner demons, and he’s come out on top.
In 2010, Mthandazo made the bold decision to kick the habit of booze at the tender age of 24. Now, he’s opening up about his journey to sobriety, a feat that’s anything but easy.
The Senzeni crooner revealed that his family history of alcohol abuse was a major catalyst for his decision. "I saw how it ravaged my family, including my dad, in grade 9. I was already hooked on liquor, thanks to the tavern near my home. I thought booze would be my downfall, so I had to break the curse," he confessed.
But it wasn’t easy. Mthandazo had to convince his friends he was serious about quitting. "They thought I was joking, but I needed to prove to myself and others that I could do it. I didn’t have a single day where I craved alcohol!"
The "Senzeni" hitmaker’s decision to sober up might have seemed like a death sentence in the music industry, but it was a necessary evil. "I would’ve been lost, and nobody would’ve taken me seriously. I’d be a shadow of my former self, and my career would have tanked."
The truth is, Mthandazo’s success is a testament to his determination and the understanding that "alcohol can’t be your source of happiness. That’s where it goes wrong."
