A Look Back at Pete Davidson’s Journey
In the past month, Davidson reflected on his journey to sobriety as he prepares for fatherhood. On Theo Von’s “This Past Weekend” podcast, he expressed gratitude for being sober when becoming a parent came along. “All my aunts and uncles got married at 21. And they knew each other since grammar school.
And they had three kids by 26,” Davidson said, contrasting his own path with the expectations of his family.
He continued: “In other relationships or when I was a drug addict and, you know, very mentally deranged … like, that was my goal. Like, I need to have a kid. I need to get married, like, because that’s how I grew up.
But I was so not ready.” Davidson emphasized his current commitment to sobriety: “So I’m really grateful it happened now, and I wasn’t looking for a relationship or looking to … obviously I wanted to, but I wasn’t looking to have a baby. And it all just kind of happened at once. And it’s been, like, awesome.”
