Harbour suffered with alcoholism in the past and has been sober since his early 20s. Harbour began drinking as a youth and found the habit worsened while attending Dartmouth college. After feeling "very lonely and needing a new direction in my life," he decided to avoid alcohol, and has said "I love consciousness too much now" to drink again.
