For several years Eva Marie was a member of the WWE roster, but she’s decided to take her career in a different direction. Eva Marie is now pursuing a career in acting, but she recently took the time to write an article about her struggle with addiction.
The former WWE star has said in the past that she had become an alcoholic, but luckily she decided to get help, and she seems to be enjoying sobriety.
Eva says in the article that she wrote for Instyle that admitting she was an alcoholic saved her life, and she also posted an inspirational message on Instagram encouraging anyone with addiction issues to get help.
“One thing I’ve realized over the years is that alcoholism affects an incredible amount of people, yet there is still a sense of embarrassment or shame when an alcoholic or family member of an alcoholic wants to talk about their disease. I used to be incredibly embarrassed, so much so that I avoided getting help because I felt like only “weak” people can’t handle something on their own and I was embarrassed that people would judge me and look at me negatively.”
“I am so happy I no longer feel this way, and I want to encourage anyone who is struggling with addiction to take that first step of asking for help, it will literally save your life.”
“To those starting a program, stick with it, your life won’t magically transform over night, there will be extreme highs and extreme lows, the chances are you will relapse at least once, but Don’t quit, keep pushing forward no matter how hard it gets. I PROMISE you it’s worth it in the end.”
