Reformed: Matt Willis, 33, has credited Emma Willis, 40,- who he married in 2008 after three years of dating, for getting him through his dark times
Speaking to Ok! Magazine the former Busted star revealed a day doesn't go by when he isn't grateful for remaining drug free.
Admitting he doesn't allow himself to be around anything that's a 'danger' to his sobriety, he added: 'Every single night I say thanks for keeping me sober today, and that's something I've done for eight years. It makes me feel like I've achieved.
Crediting the mother to his three children- Isabelle, 6, Ace, 5, and Trixie Grace, 9 months, for supporting him through his journey, he admitted that the bumps in the road were always down to him.

'She's f*****g amazing and stuck with me the whole time. I don't know why. Of course, it was testing. There were times when we thought we couldn't carry on any more,' he revealed, describing life now as great.
And he admitted that the thought of his children experimenting with drugs weighs heavily on his mind, but he has decided to let them learn from his own mistakes.
'I want them to live their lives and find out s**t for themselves,' he concluded.
'She's f*****g amazing and stuck with me the whole time. I don't know why', Emma was his rock
In August the father-of-three told the Metro being a dad has kept him on the straight and narrow.
'It [having children] was the only thing that changed me, If I'm honest.
'I was a bit of a naughty boy and I always knew that I couldn't keep it up forever, but nothing would stop me!
'Then I had a daughter and I was like, "See ya!" It was the biggest fork in the road for me.'
Busted announced their reunion late last year, and Emma said she 'never worries' that Matt's addiction will return because he's 'good as gold now'.
'To me, we just had to find a way to sort it out. And he did. I never worry about him relapsing. He is as good as gold now.'
