The Boy Changed His Life
Clapton’s life altered tremendously after becoming a father, but there were a few things that remained constant. He was still an alcoholic even if he didn’t drink in front of Conor. In reality, Norman reports that Clapton spent all of his time with his kid, who was suffering from “white-knuckle sobriety,” and that he promptly handed the boy back to Del Santo — before consuming a large amount of vodka.

Too Much In Australia
Clapton’s pattern lasted more than a year, culminating in a fall 1987 tour of Australia. Clapton claimed that his binge drinking, along with a tough work schedule, had reached a breaking point, and he couldn’t stop shaking. He couldn’t function without a drink, but neither could he function with one. With his music, he was in a tough spot, barely squeaking by. If this continues, everything will definitely implode.
