AJ McLean has provided a positive update on his sobriety journey after facing a previous setback. In a recent conversation with People at the premiere of Building the Band, the Backstreet Boys member revealed that he’s currently in “the best head space” he has ever experienced in his life.
“Towards the end of the DNA tour, I got sober again for the last time,” McLean, who also hosts the Netflix show, told the outlet. “I’m sticking this one out all the way. It’s a daily thing. But I have finally done what has been suggested amongst the sober community, and my life has flipped in a positive way.”
Back in August 2023, he informed the publisher that he would be marking two years of sobriety on September 26. “I’m trying to keep my feet firmly planted in the program,” he shared at the time. “I’ve battled self-esteem issues my entire life, and I’ve learned a lot. My sobriety is the most solid it’s ever been.”
Now, McLean shared that he works out six days a week, maintains “clean” eating habits, and keeps a “healthy balance between family and work.”
