Rolling Stones star Ronnie Wood has been staying off the booze with a little help from his celebrity pals.
Wood, 62, has been battling an addiction to alcohol and said he was afraid he’d end up back in rehab when he was given anti-craving drugs.
But his bandmate Mick Jagger and friends Sir Elton John and Rod Stewart have reportedly been helping him by offering words of support.
According to UK newspaper The Sun, he said to a friend: “Now I know everyone’s behind me, I’m desperate to give up for good. Mick Jagger calls me every few days.”
The source added: “He is doing really well.”

Given the rather high number of rumors regarding him staying away from the bottles together with his old pal and band mate, Ronnie Wood, Keith Richards recently came forward and tried to give some more insight as to how the battle is faring. This is what the Rolling Stone guitarist said: “Listen, the rumors of my sobriety are greatly exaggerated. And we’ll leave it at that.” That doesn’t sound too promising… what happened? Did that fine Scottish whiskey finally get the better of Keith Richards? And where is his brother in arms? He is wrestling with the other bottles no doubt as the battle rages on.

Well the two guitarists are doing it at least. It seems that both Ronnie Wood and Keith Richards are trying to give up alcohol and they’re apparently helping each other out. This is what a source said on this joint endeavor: “Keith and Ronnie haven’t had much to do with one another but now they’re back in touch. They’ve both given up alcohol recently so they can obviously relate to each other’s situation. They’ve been giving one another plenty of mortal support.” Well it’s good they have something in common again… that should give the band a bit of unity and to stay out of rehab. It should work as long as they don’t run out of coffee.

Even though the famous Rolling Stone has given up on alcohol, he won’t be letting go of smokes anytime soon. A friend of Keith Richards had this to say on the matter: “Keith simply can’t start the day without a cigarette. Smoking is now Keith’s one and only vice and he isn’t stopping.” When it becomes a daily ritual, it’s pretty much a done deal… especially if that ritual is a morning one. But Keith Richards seems to have pulled it off until now, why wouldn’t he keep burning his fuse from now on? After all, the legend that is Keith Richards would not be complete if he gave up all of his vices.

It looks like after his not so pleasant experiences with the Russian ladies, Ronnie Wood is going to opt for something a little more secure and fun than relationships. The Rolling Stones guitarist has recently expressed his wish to reform his old band, The Faces: “I want to reform my band The Faces. There’s a new line-up but it’s going to go really well. We’re going to start getting together in March to rehearse for shows next year.” Well, since he does probably have a lot of spare time on his hands now it probably wouldn’t hurt to have a bit of fun with the guys again. Ronnie Wood deserves a little R&R doesn’t he?
