I'm grateful to those who fought for my life, even when I didn’t feel like living: Thabang Moleya on sobriety

Celebrating 11 years of sobriety, seasoned director Thabang Moleya says he takes one day at a time. 

Taking to Twitter on Monday, he shared the news with his followers: "11 years sober from alcohol and substances. Not a drop, not a sniff. Grateful to those who fought for my life, even when I didn’t feel like living. It’s a journey, one day at a time."

Thabang joins a long list of celebs, including Lebo M, Trevor Gumbi, Sammy Sosa and DJ Cleo, who have shared such journeys.

On Twitter in September, DJ Cleo said he was blessed to have been sober for more than four decades. 

“Practice doesn't make perfect, but it makes you better. There's new music in the air. Music is my nyaope, my alcohol, my weed, my drugs. 24 December I'll be 43 years sober, nicotine-free and drug-free. Look after that body,” he said.

Speaking to TshisaLIVE previously, the DJ said: "I’ve seen all the negative side effects of narcotics, which go against my beliefs and the core of my being.

“Focus has kept me from the pressures of society. I come from humble beginnings. I’d rather humble myself than have the consequences of my actions humble me.
