“Very VERY nice interview with Sophie Durocher! She asked him the real questions! Eric is aware that he needs to stop drinking alcohol and drugs. I've been sober for 9 years this year and I really wish he would give himself that chance! That would be his greatest gift ever! I wish with all my heart that he chooses himself and loves himself intensely. »
