"This time last year, there was no light at the end of the tunnel for me personally," he said. "There was a point there where I thought I didn't even want to exist anymore."
"I told people I wished I could go into a coma and wake up a year from now," he added.
However, now, as the one year mark of the couple's July divorce announcement draws near, he admits that life is better than he could have imagined it would have been so soon after his marriage ended, and he credits his new relationship with Stefani as a big part of what has helped pull him through and get out of that place.
"Here we are a year from now, and [look at] the way things have turned out and how crazy life is sometimes," he said. "You never know who's in your life that can save your life, and I found that out."
