The singer says the lifestyle shift has made him happier.  “It’s weird not recognizing yourself,” he reflects in the caption of his post. “I got to a place mentally and physically that I will never go again.”  Mooney’s caption thanked “the people in my life that helped me make a change.” He also stated that he wanted the change and “never felt more alive.” Jake Owens and his bandmate Dan Smyers praised Mooney for his hard work.
