By participating in the without censorship program, broadcast by TV Brasil Friday (20), the singer Nando Reis publicly shared his personal trajectory with alcoholism. At the age of 62, the artist revealed that he was a member of the anonymous alcoholics and detailed the way he faced the difficulties imposed by the disease, especially at the beginning of the process, when he has not yet recognized the seriousness of the situation.
According to Nando, the most delicate moment was to suppose himself that there was a problem. “Alcoholism, the disease that I suffer, is stigmatized, has prejudice, lack of information. I, with almost nine years of sobriety, I feel sure I face it, you know?” As reported, there were moments in which it climbed on stage in a state considered “pitiful”, which eventually associated it publicly with the condition.
The singer explained that making his public experience aimed to offer support to others who face the same challenge. “I opened my anonymity. I am a member of Alcoholics Anonymous. I spoke and wrote songs about it. To the shows, when I talk about it, it is a confusion, because it is a problem that many people have denied. And denial is terrible,” said Nando, observing that the comparison begins with the recognition of the arouse.
In fact, he took advantage of the interview to criticize the glamor often attributed to alcohol consumption. For the musician, the company tends to romanticize alcohol, which makes it difficult to fight dependence. “You are not a butt, not a lack of willpower. It is a disease like any other. The person has diabetes, I am an alcoholic. Okay. I can’t drink. But the drink has this glamor. I glamor myself,” he recognized.
Even going through decades of difficulty, Nando stressed that his professional dedication has never been set aside. He said that despite the excesses, he has always maintained his lucidity during recordings and artistic decisions. “Even in all 40 years of mad I lived, when it comes to recording or choosing music, I have always been shiny,” he said. For him, musical criticisms require clarity, and this has always been present in his production.
Finally, the artist stressed that his career was built with continuous effort. “I’m not a genius. Work, work, work. Sometimes it works. Sometimes it’s okay. Sometimes not,” he concluded. The declaration strengthens the image of an artist engaged in music, even in the face of personal adversities.
