Aerosmith frontman Steven Tyler is determined to make his most recent stint in rehab his last - because his past problems with substance abuse cost him his family and almost his band.

The rocker's 2009 rehab stay was his fifth and he's working hard to stay sober as he makes plans to wed girlfriend Erin Brady following a proposal on Christmas Day.

In an appearance on The Ellen DeGeneres Show in America, he says, "I got all my friends that are sober now... I can't get back into that world. I can stay high onstage and stay high... I mean out here with you right now my hearts pounding... But you never know if it's going to stick. I just keep with my programme, wish and hope.

"I don't want to go back to that place... That place lost me my kids, a marriage, a band... A lot of things and it's for real. That's how dangerous that is. So I take it serious."

Steven can do this.......What I do is focus on the natural highs in life, like my children, music ,and the outdoors. On a stressful day I look up to the sky and take a deep breath and wow , that is peaceful....That is a relxed feeling. Playing music is a pumped up fun thing, a natural high. I will play forever,just like I will love my children forever. LIFE IS GOOD Steven. I had the chance to talk with you in person in the mid to late 80's, you had just stopped partying.. I was happy for you then, as I am now! You can do it! My family sais I remind them of you , in a good way........ Enjoy life, breath in that fresh air and say "Yaaaaaaah!!!!!!!!!!!" You can do it,just keep moving forward.........Your friend Kristina Merges NY
