UP FOR THE COUNT –
Jan. 16, 2025 – On his hopes for the memoir: “I can help people through being public and pretty much outgoing about what I’ve been through. I’m like a lot of people out there in the world, just really struggling with addiction, alcoholism. But hopefully that’s inspired a lot of people, me just being honest with everything, and I just started this morning, actually – I’ve got five years of journaling.
“I read this book called The Heroin Diaries a long time ago, I think Nikki Sixx put it out. My first day in my first rehab, I said, ‘I might as well write about this every day and just share my experience.’ So I started going back through all those journal entries, five years of journal entries, and I wrote my first page today.”
On his 2022 DUI while he was with AEW: “I was in a jail cell, and I’d had dreams previously of getting another DUI [where] I woke up in relief that it was only a dream. But I was in that cell, ‘I can’t shake myself awake. Am I going to be able to come back from this?’ And so I knew it was going to be a long road, and take a lot of hard work and patience and love.”
