Country singer George Jones says he's through with drinking.
"I've even quit drinking coffee. I quit smoking," he said in Nashville, Tenn.
In March 1999, Jones was critically injured when he crashed his sport utility vehicle into a bridge near his home south of Nashville.
An opened bottle of vodka was found in the SUV, and Jones later admitted to drinking and driving. He was fined $550 and ordered to get counseling for alcoholism.
"Even when I had my car wreck, I had went quite a few years on the wagon," the 70-year-old said. "This was just one of them stupid moments that you do in your stupid life, you know?
"But it put the fear of God in me this time."
Jones' new album, "The Rock: Stone Cold Country 2001," is due in stores on Sept. 25. The album includes a duet with Garth Brooks.
