Getty Ruston Kelly is opening up the difficult side of sobriety. On Wednesday (July 29), the 37-year-old country music singer-songwriter revealed on Instagram that he is now three days sober – and has given up all substances, including alcohol – after a freak golf cart accident in June caused him to relapse. He previously celebrated 5 years of sobriety in December 2025. “I told myself back in 2021 that as long as I wasn’t using amphetamines that I would be on the right ‘clean’ journey for myself,” Ruston began his lengthy post, while sharing a photo of an AA chip. “I had never been addicted to any drug other than those pills. I lumped in alcohol and THC etc initially because I thought that’s what I was supposed to do. Somewhere along the way I became obstinate in my journey, that I wasn’t an ‘addict’ in the traditional sense of the word, that I was only addicted to amphetamines. ‘I’ve never had a problem with alcohol, I’ve never had a problem with XYZ’ ‘See I can be like everyone else, I can show self control, I am in control.’ I even got to the point of recent spiritual surrender and still attempted to live a lifestyle that was satisfactory to my carnal impulses because I ‘never had a problem with them.'” View this post on Instagram A post shared by rustonkelly (@rustonkelly) He continued, “After my accident where I broke my arm in half, I was given fentanyl morphine ketamine dilaudid and oxycodone for 3 days leaving with a month long Rx of Percocet. I needed it for the level 15 pain but very quickly they started running out sooner and sooner. I was chewing them in the pharmacy before I walked out the door. I was hiding how many at a time I was taking. I was complaining to the dr it wasn’t enough. It awakened something I hadn’t felt in a very long time.” “On July 26 I decided to end any chance of ruining anything good,” Ruston wrote. “For my soul my wife my family my art and career and my people. I admitted that whether I like it or not I will forever have a substance abuse disease. ALL drugs/substances including alcohol and THC are off the table for good (working on nicotine) That if there is something that will scratch an itch I didn’t think I had, I will use it beyond excess and into addiction. “I am 3 days completely clean and sober again, and intend to remain this way forever, one day at a time,” he concluded. If you didn’t know, Ruston was previously married to Kacey Musgraves from 2017 to 2020. This past May, he married wife Tia Cubelic .
