Some of Morton’s colleagues were quick to congratulate him, including Alice Cooper guitarist and solo artist Nita Strauss and All That Remains singer Phil Labonte, both of whom have struggled with substance abuse themselves.

Morton spoke about his sobriety in the lyrics of the song “All I Had To Lose“, which appeared on his solo EP “Ether”, released in 2020.
