“I just really got to a point where I wasn’t enjoying it anymore,” he says of his decision to finally get clean in 2006. “I mean, God knows I probably have my fair share of psychological misadventures, but I got into booze and drugs mostly just to kill time. I mean, it starts out for fun, and then you use it in between shows, after a show, before the next show, that kind of thing. And especially I’d really fall in hard when the tour was over and we were off the road — I wouldn’t know what to do with myself. So that’s just something that before you know it, you’ve got a real physical, and as it happens, psychological addiction going on. And you just keep managing it, and managing it, and it takes its toll eventually. It catches up with you.”

Leaving this here

When I first saw this my first thought was: Gerard isn't middle aged. Then I Googled. 37... Almost. I think 40 plus is middle aged. Mid 40s even. God I'm getting old. 

But.. In the same breath. I get it. And Oh how those far too young fangirls stalk. 

I don't want to live in this world anymore...
