Headline: UNCAPTIONED: Ozzy Osbourne 'not completely sober' amid health struggles
Caption: Ozzy Osbourne 'not completely sober' amid health struggles. The famously hard-living Black Sabbath frontman was diagnosed with Parkin syndrome in 2005, with the main symptom being involuntary shudders. During a recent episode of his Madhouse Chronicles podcast, Ozzy - who misused alcohol and other drugs for most of his adult life, revealed he occasionally smokes marijuana after years of sobriety. ”I am happier, but I am not completely sober. I use a bit of marijuana from time to time.” He then credited his wife Sharon Osbourne with keeping him from returning to old habits. ”I am lucky my wife kicks my butt all the time, and she would f**king make life so difficult. Even with marijuana, she will f**king find it and get rid of it.” Ozzy went on to note that he felt as if he couldn't "do a thing creatively sober" when he was making music in the ‘70s. "I was the king of the world, a rock star, and I had the biggest party ever. The thing is, I never thought I could do a f**king thing of creativity (if I was sober).” However, Ozzy conceded his life is "much easier" now he doesn't use hard drugs. The rocker also recalled how he was given a "tiny bit" of ketamine by a doctor a short time ago and that was enough to "spark him”. "I went to a doctor recently and started to have this ketamine. He put a tiny bit in me, but that was enough to spark me. That thing came back and weighted my brain.” Instructions: THIS VIDEO MUST NOT BE EDITED FOR LENGTH TO COMBINE WITH OTHER CONTENT
