He confessed to US chat show host David Letterman: "I definitely think you go through different phases and there's certainly a phase of, 'Oh, I don't care about anything - I'm going to throw myself into a little bit of booze and kind of numb the pain.' "I went through a little bit of that and came out on the other side and still have some sobriety left."
Nick who is now dating MTV presenter Vanessa Minnillo, also revealed he blames reality show 'Newlyweds' for the breakdown of his marriage. He said: "It was among the dumber ideas I think I've ever seen executed in history. For a while, I think we actually enjoyed doing the show. It was just so invasive that it became a problem." Nick added: "It's one of those things where I think until you get enough hindsight and enough clarity and perspective, I don't think you can really know what happened, but, I certainly think it was probably a factor."
