black-is-no-colour: A Conversation With John Galliano - WWD issue from 09 March 2016. Photo credit: WWD / Laurent van der Stockt Here´s a part of Vogue UK´s summary of the interview: Galliano On His Road To Recovery John Galliano has been open about his road to recovery, following his now infamous outburst in a Paris café in 2011 and, as he explained this week, it is an ongoing process. “I’ve learned this concept of step-by-step, day-by-day. I didn’t understand the day-by-day thing. I’ve been so tied up with the future and what I’ve done yesterday. You’re not living anymore; you’re not in the moment,” he told WWD. “Now, I really do appreciate the moment and being in the moment. That’s not to say sometimes I don’t go off in my head, because we all do. But I’m much more aware of that now. And I’ve been given the tools; I know how to deal with it. Just being able to learn that at this time in my life is amazing.” “I’m somewhere else now; I don’t need that,” he said when asked if he misses drinking. “But I won’t say the desire or temptation ever goes away. It’s a disease. The minute I thought that it would go away, I’d be in trouble. I’d have to run to a meeting. It’s that daily process, it’s a daily reprieve.” As to how he has changed since his departure from Dior, Galliano is pragmatic. “I’ve reconnected with so many things; it’s a hard one to answer. It’s total abstinence. It’s a daily thing. I go to my meetings. I’m in a much, much better place now. Maybe you can feel it, hear it, you can see it. It’s an ongoing thing. I feel much, much happier.” Vogue UK, 09 March 2016, by Scarlett Conlon -- source link
