NOTHING BUT HEART –
May 25, 2023 – Jason has experienced intense pain in his life, particularly after losing his father suddenly after he collapsed on the set of his hit show “8 Simple Rules for Dating My Teenage Daughter” when the actor suffered an aortic dissection in 2003 (via The Sun). Jason has shared what a deep and loving relationship he had with his father, so the sudden loss was particularly intense and heartbreaking.
However, besides using alcohol to dampen pain, Jason says initially he began using alcohol to help overcome anxiety. He says it made him feel free and also like he was living in the moment because he was drinking to get out of his head. Now sober for close to a decade, he realizes how it has opened his life in so many ways.
