A fan on the KISS FAQ forums named ChaimWitz1949 has posted an email that he claims is from original KISS drummer Peter Criss discussing his sobriety and overcoming cocaine addiction.
I emailed him via his site and asked him how long he’s been clean and sober. He responded in less than 24 hours. Here was his exact response:
