The spherical faced singer said going into rehab was like �walking to the edge of a cliff and looking into the abyss.�
He continued: �You can either jump off or turn round and walk back. Thankfully for me it was the latter.�
Chaplin was speaking to Radio 1 shortly after his band returned to the live stage at the Hull Arena on Tuesday evening.
He said that despite some people�s preconceptions, rehab wasn�t an easy ride: �It�s a psychiatric hospital.
�I think some people have this impression of it as some sort of health spa.
�But there are a lot of people in there, including myself, with some very serious problems. They�re dealing with life and death.�
Having won the current battle with drugs and alcohol, Chaplin still realises that a difficult road lies ahead: �Drugs and drink and all those things are something that are everywhere now.
�I have to be aware and be careful of it.�
