Tim McGraw Speaks About His Sobriety + How It Helps Him Perform on Stage

Have you seen the pictures of Tim McGraw lately? He looks good. He and wife Faith Hill are both beautiful people already, but his attention to health and exercise is helping McGraw reach near perfection. So, why the sobriety and exercise dedication?

Everyone in the public eye must be aware of how their actions can be portrayed to fans. If you look at Lindsay Lohan for an example, you will see how celebrities have to be careful how they act in public.

Tim McGraw and his wife have always seemed like the perfect couple, free of flaws.

McGraw explains that it wasn't just how his fans might perceive him , but what his children thought of him.

"I drank a lot from my point of view and I needed to stop," McGraw told People. "I felt quitting was something I needed to do. I didn't feel I had any moral high ground with my kids in the long run."

Though his sobriety is keeping him out of the tabloids, his wife and children were the real inspiration behind this life choice. Tim McGraw has now been sober for five years. What does he do instead? He works out. A lot.

"Working out is a great way to go out on stage," McGraw, who's planning a 30-city tour this spring, says. "When I hit the stage, my adrenaline is going and I'm ready."

Well, all of that exercise is showing. He looks good!
