Singer Robbie Williams believes his sobriety is his greatest achievement and he accepts that he will always have addictive tenancies that he'll always have to live with.

The "Let Me Entertain You" star considers his sobriety to be his greatest achievement, but readily admits his addictive tendencies are something he must always keep on top of, reports femalefirst.co.uk.

Williams told The Sun newspaper: "I can be addicted to anything. At the moment I'm addicted to a game called 'Gummy Blocks'. I'm addicted to the internet, I'm addicted to an awful lot of things. I have to tend to that stuff and if I don't tend to that stuff I get in trouble."

But the former "Take That" star, who is married to American actress Ayda Field, is very proud of winning the fight against his addiction to alcohol and drugs.

"I haven't had a drink for 18 years and I'm an alcoholic. I like booze. That's the one that sort of stayed with me going to meetings, going to rehab, getting this information.

"It's miraculous because I'm drawn to getting f***ed up ... whatever the level is. It's like, 'OK take this, do that, drink this and off we go.' And for 18 years I've managed. Put 18 years' worth of days together since my last drink. The truth is for most of my adult life I've mainly been sober," he said.
