London, Feb 17 (IANS) English singer Robbie Williams believes living in Los Angeles is a good therapy and has made it easier to get over his much-publicised addiction problems.

The 'Feel' hitmaker, who has been in rehab several times to be treated for alcohol and drug addiction, thinks the city is much more understanding and accepting of his problems and believes he would find recovery harder if he had stayed in Britain, reports femalefirst.co.uk.

'I can say it's easier in Los Angeles...Everybody talks therapy out there. There's a much better understanding of addiction, depression and ailments in general. There's very much a stiff upper lip in England,' he said.

'These days people are softening, people are going to Alcoholics Anonymous and rehab, but it's taken us a long time to stop the stiff upper lip,' he added.
