Sobriety didn’t just save Pete Davidson. It made him the partner and father he always wanted to be.
In this clip from w/ ( #612), Pete gets real about one of the most meaningful chapters of his life:
Getting sober, staying sober, and what clarity has meant for the people closest to him.
He’s openly grateful for where he is now, but honest about the fact that he wishes he’d gotten here sooner.
Pete Davidson has spoken about his addiction struggles for years, from his well-documented time in and out of treatment facilities, to admitting he used ketamine daily for four years before checking himself into rehab in the summer of 2023.
He’s been open about using substances to escape reality, describing a version of himself who could “get drunk enough to avoid feeling anything.”
But something shifted.
By September 2024, Pete was sober. And this time, it stuck.
In this conversation with Theo Von, he reflects on what that sobriety unlocked: the ability to show up fully in a relationship, and then the unexpected gift of becoming a father.
His daughter, Scottie, was born on December 12, 2025, with his partner Elsie Hewitt. He has said plainly that becoming a parent “was not possible” before he got sober, that there was simply no version of that life without the clarity he found first.
What makes this clip resonate so deeply is how Pete talks about timing. Not with regret, but with genuine gratitude. He’s thankful it all happened the way it did, the sobriety, the relationship, the baby, because it came together when he was actually ready to receive it.
Recovery isn’t just about putting down a substance. It’s about becoming someone capable of showing up. Pete’s story is proof that it’s possible, and that the life waiting on the other side is worth every hard step to get there.
