It’s no secret that Jon Moxley is one of the most decorated wrestler
AEW Star Jon Moxley has opened up about his battle with alcohol.
In an interview with the The Messenger, the three time AEW World Heavyweight champion opened up about his fight with sobriety.
“it’s f—ing hard,” Moxley told The Messenger. “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. You f— up your brain chemistry. It takes a lot of time for your body and the physical damage you’ve done to yourself to regulate itself. I’m not always the easiest person to be around. I have crazy mood swings and sh– like that.”
He added,“used to envy people who were living normal lives and not going through the same sh– that I was going through. Now I still kind of envy people who aren’t going through the same sh– I’m going through. It’s just different sh–.”
Moxley said he can “see the world with so much more clarity,” which has resulted in his patience meter hitting empty.
“Pro wrestling specifically is full of bullsh– and bullsh–ters,” he said. “I’ve always had a very low tolerance for bullsh–. But now it’s f—ing non-existent, my level of patience for bullsh–,” he stated.
Moxley stated that his wife Renee Paquette saved his life and being there to support him and that his their daughter gives him a new motivation.
HE SAID, “I plan on being here for a long f—ing time and accomplishing a lot more,” he declared. “I feel like I’ve barely scratched the surface on what I’m capable of.”
Back in November 2022, AEW Owner, Tony Khan announced on Social media that Moxley would be taking time off t enter impatient alcohol treatment program.
Moxley,who was scheduled to take on Orange Cassidy on the November 3rd edition of Dynamite as a part of the AEW World heavyweight title eliminator match ,made his retuned on TV on January 2022 and has been sober for close to two years.
He was recently sidelined following AEW Dynamite Grand Slam due to injury, but made his return returned on Saturday’s episode of AEW Collision to help save the Blackpool Combat Club.
AEW fans can look forward to his return to his in-ring return, which has yet to be announced.
