Kenyan artist and music producer Magix Enga has once again drawn attention to his ongoing battle with alcohol addiction. Through a candid post on his Facebook page, Enga revealed the profound impact that his addiction has on his life, while also sharing his rationale for turning to alcohol.
Enga, who had previously sought help for his addiction and found stability through a rehabilitation center and a job in Eldoret city’s music scene, admitted to relapsing. In his recent posts, he has expressed his regret and sorrow over his condition, revealing that he has returned to drinking due to underlying stress and personal struggles.
In his Facebook post, Enga explained his actions by citing his love for his fans. “So sad I don’t know people, but they know me because of my music, so I drink every day because I love my fans and I’m always too good to everyone which I find it crazy to talk to someone who knows me and I don’t know them,” Enga said. His comment underscores a feeling of disconnection between his public persona and his personal experiences.
Enga’s post also included a plea for divine protection, as he shared the severe consequences of his drinking. “God protects me when I am drunk, don’t call me please. I don’t even know what happened yesterday 😭 I regret my soul,” he lamented. His confession reveals a deep sense of remorse and the challenges he faces when intoxicated, including memory loss and a lack of awareness about his actions.
The artist also addressed a piece of advice he received, suggesting that returning to church might offer some solace. Enga, however, appeared to reject this suggestion, attributing his problems to stress rather than seeking spiritual guidance. “Intending to go to church. Just go there and listen to a word or two. You drink a lot of money, take the children home, they will be very helpful. No one is coming to save you nigga, it must be you and you alone,” he was advised.
Despite the supportive messages from his followers, Enga’s struggle highlights a broader issue of addiction and mental health. His openness about his condition and his struggles with alcohol addiction reflect the complex nature of addiction, which often involves deep-seated emotional and psychological factors.
As Magix Enga navigates through his challenges, it remains crucial for him to seek appropriate support and resources to address his addiction and mental health. The path to recovery is often multifaceted, involving a combination of professional help, personal commitment, and, in some cases, spiritual support. Enga’s story serves as a reminder of the importance of addressing addiction with empathy and understanding, recognizing that overcoming such struggles requires a comprehensive and supportive approach.
