Radio personality Alex Mwakideu has opened up about his decision to quit alcohol in 2019 and his subsequent love for cigars.<\/p>\n
Speaking to Obinna, Mwakideu revealed that a pivotal moment in his life led him to give up hard liquor.<\/p>\n
The incident occurred the night before his best friend Felix Odiwour alias Jalang’o, introduction ceremony to his in-laws.<\/p>\n
Mwakideu had been appointed as Jalang’o’s spokesman for the event, but the night before, he drank excessively and blacked out.<\/p>\n
He woke up late, with everyone already at the venue, almost missing the function.<\/p>\n
This close call made him realize he needed to make a change.<\/p>\n
“I quit drinking in 2019. It was the time we were taking Jalang’o for the introduction of his wife. I had taken a lot of alcohol. I wanted to monitor my drinking habits, so I used not to share my alcohol. I was not an extreme drinker. That day I overslept and woke up at noon. On checking the WhatsApp group, everyone was already at the event and properly dressed. I rushed to the event since I was the one speaking on behalf of friends,” Mwakideu narrated.
\nHe then added,
\n“After the event, everyone took out their alcohol. I also removed mine, looked at it, and said I was done with alcohol. Since that time, I decided to quit alcohol.”<\/p>\n
Mwakideu clarified that his decision was not due to any professional or his marriage but a personal resolution.<\/p>\n
“I was not fired, and I did not mess up my marriage, but it was a decision I made,” he said.<\/p>\n
Mwakideu also shared insights into his current lifestyle, particularly his enjoyment of smoking cigars.<\/p>\n
“Smoking cigars is a lifestyle. When you go and find old people smoking cigarettes, there is a cigar for whiskey and there is a cigar for wine, coffee, and so I love the coffee cigar because I love coffee.”<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
