AEW's Jeff Jarrett Hits Major Milestone In His Sobriety
10/31/2024 03:14 AM
All Elite Wrestling’s Jeff Jarrett has reached a major milestone in his sobriety in a huge accomplishment for the professional wrestling veteran.
On a recent edition of his “My World” podcast, Jarrett shared how long he’s been sober. He said,
“This past Friday was seven years to the day of my sobriety date. And you talked about it, we just kind of joked about it, putting the bread in the can down seven years ago. When I, by the grace of God, started on my sobriety journey, I had no idea what to expect. But early [on], I came to the real realization ‘Damn, I’m not just glad that, you know, I could start checking all the boxes. Hell, I’m lucky to be alive in so many ways.’
“So Conrad, it’s almost as if I have no idea what’s coming next. I really don’t. Now, there’s scripture that you can plan things, but God knows what’s in front. And something like that, Conrad, a retirement match, you know, one of those things, I think you just joked on a title or whatever, that is so far out of my scope of things. I’ll let others plan that, because I’m not in control of that.”
Jarrett struggled for years with substance abuse and appeared to wrestle while intoxicated at AAA TripleMania XV in 2017.
After a similar incident in October of that same year, Jarrett entered rehab with the help of WWE and his wife Karen and has remained sober ever since.
Jarrett most recently competed on the September 25th episode of AEW Collision where he lost to ‘Hangman’ Adam Page.
