Pete Davidson Credits Mother's Heartfelt Rehab Call for Sobriety Commitment

Pete Davidson has shared that a poignant phone call from his mother, Amy Waters Davidson, was a turning point in his journey to sobriety. During a conversation on Theo Von's podcast, Davidson revealed that while he was in rehab, his mother expressed her greatest fear of seeing news that her son had died, which deeply affected him and motivated him to stay sober. Davidson, who lost his father, firefighter Scott Davidson, in the 9/11 attacks, explained that he couldn't bear to put his mother through such heartbreak again. He described his mother as the most supportive person in his life, who raised him and his sister alone after their father's death. Davidson also noted the unwavering support from his family despite his struggles, and he is now focused on a new chapter as he and his partner, Elsie Hewitt, prepare to welcome their first child. His sobriety journey and strong family bonds highlight the importance of support systems in overcoming addiction.
