Pete Davidson credits sobriety to one person: ‘F***ed me up’

Pete Davidson opened up about the reason he got sober during his comedy show in Las Vegas in a candid statement.

The Saturday Night Live alum made headlines with his remarks during the April 11 show and revealed that he decided to commit to getting better with rehab so that he could save the money he spends on it.

“I did family week, [which is] when, with your therapist, you Zoom your family and they tell you how difficult it is for them to watch you do drugs. I remember my mom popped on the screen, and she was like, ‘Peter, it’s really hard to be your mom. It’s not a fun job,” Pete began.

“I was still, like, newly sober, [thinking], ‘Well, you’re not f*king that special. What do you do?’ She went, ‘Enough.’ She f**ed me up. She was, like, ‘Peter, ‘It’s very hard to be your mom because I wake up every morning with the fear that I’ll turn on the news and see that my son has died,” he added.

The father-of-one went on to say that his mom, Amy Davidson, told her all this via the online call, from the house he bought her on drugs, and that he thought she was getting used to things.

Pete eventually said that his mother was the one who helped him in his sobriety journey, and has dished elsewhere that he is glad that he is sober especially since he embraced fatherhood.
