Jade Goody's widower Jack Tweed admitted he has hit the bottle as he struggles to cope with the death of his wife.
Clutching a bottle of cider, 22-year-old Jack said drinking alcohol made him "forget about everything" and added that he did not like the feeling of being sober.
He said: "I don't really know how I'm bearing up at the moment. I'm drinking quite a lot, which I shouldn't be."
He added: "I shouldn't be saying it but I don't want to lie to anyone and I am drinking quite a lot and I've got to go and see someone or I've got to stop.
"It makes me forget about everything when I have a drink. I don't like the feeling when I'm not drinking.
"It's not a nice feeling because I sit there and think about Jade non-stop."
Tweed, of Buckhurst Hill, Essex, was speaking at the launch of the Nokia Skate Almighty event on London's South Bank.
He married reality television star Jade shortly before her death from cancer.
He was freed from prison in May after serving half of a 12-week sentence imposed in April for assaulting a taxi driver.
