According to CloserWeekly, the 40-year-old opened up on all the obstacles he faced on his way to sobriety while discussing what made him turn to drugs in the first place. In his words:

"I was maybe trying to make sense of things … and trying to figure out where I fit in. I started drifting towards kids who were smoking, drinking, and [other] things, and I tied that in with friendship … and then it just kept going from there."

According to Cameron, Michael was "understandably a little bit standoffish," and after years of working at it, their relationship is better. Luckily, Cameron reveals that his memoir played a part in helping the pair's relationship.
