JON MOXLEY DISCUSSES BATTLE TO MAINTAIN SOBRIETY

AEW's Jon Moxley spoke with The Messenger, with a good portion of the interview devoted to Moxley's sobriety.

Moxley admits in the piece that "by all accounts I should be dead" but has been sober since completing a program for alcohol addiction at Desert Hope Treatment Center in Las Vegas in late 2021.

Still, he admits, "It’s f---ing hard.  It’s not the same hell as before, but it’s a completely different challenge every single day where you don’t know what direction it might go in.  I would love to give you like a positive, self-help book-type answer or something about f---ing sunshine and rainbows and fairies and sh--, but that's really not reality.  It's been good on the whole, it's been good. I'm the luckiest guy in the world. But, you know, you will pay for it on the other side, your choices you make in your life."

He noted that it took him a long time to return to normalcy after getting sober.

"You f--- up your brain chemistry," he said. "It takes a lot of time for your body and the physical damage you’ve done to yourself to regulate itself."

Moxley admits that he has "crazy mood swings" and that his recovery is an ongoing process which doesn't make him the easiest to be around.
