Buff Bagwell completes rehab and says he has been sober for over 30 days



Former WWE/WCW star Buff Bagwell provided an update, via the DDP Yoga YouTube channel, on his sobriety after his stint in rehab.

Bagwell said that before he went to rehab, he was working on the “Change Or Die” project that would document his addiction issues but he wasn’t staying clean every day. Bagwell said that when an intervention was done on him, he initially didn’t want to go to rehab.

“I was staying clean Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday and tell myself, ‘great job mark, that’s a great job and you were sober four days, you deserve three days off.’ That’s what the addiction tells you. So I of course dove into that. And it’s like, Hey, um, if I can be clean four days a week, I think I’m doing really good. And most people do. But then it started to kind of catch up with me. But then the show ended. And when the show ended — there was a leash on me with the show and the leash is now off. And now you got me out there in the world with only travel and home during the week was no leash and no accountability. On my own, I realized I was getting bad. I was lowering my pills but I didn’t really realize it until the class I’m taking now what I was doing, it’s called cross using. It’s not a gateway, it’s called cross. Which means if you lower something like I was lowering my pill intake, but I was raising my alcohol, again, telling myself, you’re doing better… you know, enter the intervention on me here four to five weeks ago. And like every other addict does, I was trying to get out of going, of course, I didn’t want to go to rehab…”
