Doherty explained: ''I see it as a selfish lifestyle choice. My nine-year-old son, I can't be there for him. He's smart. He said to me, 'Have you just taken your medicine?' I didn't know what to say. In his eyes it's sad and wrong, you're not the attractive person a child wants you to be.'' He went on to reveal that he may, in fact, lament his self-destructive lifestyle. He looked at his image, revealing: ''It's seen as a spiritual crime now to be a junkie. The lowest thing.''

The 34-year-old rocker spoke to 'Q' magazine, revealing how he has cut himself off from his friends and family in order to save them from the disappointment he brings. He explained: ''If there's someone who you've let down, or shamed, or alienated, who doesn't feel that you're there - whether it's your father, son, friend - you will just remove yourself from them. The sad fact is, that's what destroys families because you separate and surround yourself with people who will let you believe you're still a whole person. Because who wants to admit those things? Who wants to admit that's who they are?''
