Mel Gibson has insisted he hasn’t touched alcohol following his arrest from drink-driving two months ago.
The actor and film-maker, who has previously been treated for alcohol abuse, says he only began drinking two months before his July 28 arrest.
"Years go by, you're fine," he said, but a relapse could happen "in a heartbeat, in an instant, on an impulse".
He added: "All you can do is take another step, keep breathing."
Gibson has also revealed that some people in Hollywood no longer want to work with him following his infamous anti-Semitic outburst, which he describes as "the stupid ramblings of a drunkard".
“I feel sad because they've obviously been hurt and frightened and offended enough to feel that they have to do that.
"And it's their choice. There's nothing I can do about that."
Gibson’s latest movie, the historical action-adventure ‘Apocalypto’, is due for release in December.
