Former Tahidi High actor Dennis Mugo alias OJ has finally won the battle against alcohol addiction.
OJ, who has been struggling to be sober for the past three years, said that his inspiration to quit drinking came from his 10-year-old son Ethan.
“I am two months sober. It was a process and I had to go through it the hard way in terms of losing so much that I had already achieved,” OJ said in an interview with Nairobi News.
OJ added that his biggest challenge in quitting alcohol was that some of his friends he has still consume booze.
“I am doing well. The truth is that I have been struggling to quit for almost three years now. Just to maintain a sober life,” he added.
OJ lives with his son in Embu where he runs different businesses.
He also works for the Embu government in the Department of Youth Empowerment and Sports, specifically in the Talent Academy.
Speaking during an interview with YouTuber Mungai Eve in March 2022, OJ narrated how alcohol took a toll on him and sank into depression after he discovered he had squandered all the money he made from Tahidi High show.
“I was 24 years when I touched my first million. I was young and stupid. I wasn’t thinking about my son, my fiance and I hated people who corrected me,” he said.
