Unless I’m mistaken and he indeed did have an addiction, I apologize, butwhen he had mentioned he had been “sober” it was taken out of context and he meant he was sober from smoking potbecause he thought his issues were from that, but turns out he was diagnosed bipolar.

"Saturday Night Live star Pete Davidson revealed on Monday that he hasn’t been appearing much on the show lately or on social media because he’s been sobering up.
