Country superstar Tim McGraw has revealed he quit partying and for his wife and three daughters.
The 47-year-old singer said he realised he would lose his family if he continued partying, reported People magazine.
"When your wife tells you it's gone too far, that's a big wake-up call, That, and realising you're gonna lose everything you have. Not monetarily, not career-wise, but family-wise," he said.
McGraw said his kids started noticing his habit of drinking and that made him leave it.
"It got to the point where my kids were getting older, and it was way past the point that they noticed it. And I noticed that they noticed. That's enough to straighten you out," he said.
"I drank too much. I partied too much. And did other things too much. No needles or that kind of stuff, but use your imagination," he added.
McGraw, who will be on tour this summer ahead of his new album 'Sundown Heaven Town', said he saw himself heading in the same direction as late country singer Keith Whitley, who died of alcohol poisoning in 1989.
"Keith Whitley taught me how demons can overtake you if you let 'em. And I was headed down that path. You feel like you're supposed to be 'on' all the time. Then you drink and get onstage, and all of a sudden you feel confident and powerful," he said.
