The 65-year-old rocker relapsed into drug and alcohol abuse earlier this year after seven years of sobriety, but he is now once again clean and attends as many AA meetings as he can to help him stay on the wagon.
However, Ozzy admits it’s difficult to attend the support group meet-ups because he is recognized by many other recovering addicts.
He said: “I went to one and this guy came up and said, ‘I’ve always wanted to be at a meeting with Ozzy Osbourne.’ So I said to him, ‘Hey, when I’m in this room I’m no better than you, because if we go out and have a drink, we’re f**king both dead, so let’s leave it at that.’ ”

“She just said, ‘Look, I’ve got my own thing going on and I can’t deal with you anymore. Get the f**k out, sort yourself out, then we’ll talk.’ I don’t blame her in the slightest.”
