Jeff Hardy Comments on Drug Addiction, Says His Brother Is Doing Really Well

[AKI Man]

<blockquote class='quote\\_blockquote'><dl><dt>Quote:</dt><dd> </dd></dl><div>Jeff Hardy recently spoke with Jim Varsallone of The Miami Herald this week. Here are some quotes:

"I really believe that people learn from examples and through problems themselves. OK, my brother [Matt] and myself, for example, we never drank. We never did drugs. Nothing. I was 21, 22, when I started drinking beer, in wrestling, and then it escalated."

"It’s easy to do. It’s easy to get addicted, but if you never start, you’ll never have to stop. That’s the best advice I can give anybody. I’m back to a place now where I was before, where I don’t need a pill to go paint a canvas. That’s my new fix is doing it again. It took a while to get there, but I’m here, and I’m a father now as well. That’s another huge inspiration in my life."

"Through everything that has happened recently, to see Matt now, I think he’s doing really well. Even with my daughter now, I kind of know how my dad feels." [/quote]

Here's hoping it's real and he can keep it together. If he can there's a whole new quality of life waiting to be enjoyed. All the best Jeff!

Far too often, when a wrestler has been caught involved with drugs, they make the same speeches. They talk about how they are only human and everybody makes mistakes. They talk about how they plan to move on and want to do better. And they always apologise for letting people down. All of a sudden, they have joined the League of Extra-humble Gentlemen. A group whose motto is "Don't judge us just because you have heard of us."

But Jeff Hardy's comments are different. He used to be a card-carrying member of this insincere group. His comments are not generic. So I respect this.
