Big Bill is nearing five years of sobriety, and he recently appeared on Barstool’s “Rasslin” podcast to comment on his journey with alcoholism and getting a second chance via his sobriety.
You can check out some highlights from the podcast below:
On his sobriety: “I’ve been pretty open about my problems. My alcoholism was horrendous, and now four years sober, going to be coming up on five years sober around the Super Bowl upcoming year. It’s been quite a journey, man.”
On getting a “second chance” via his sobriety: “I mean, my career, you know, ups and then downs, ups, downs, and now I’m definitely on an upswing. I feel like now I have a second chance. A second chance, not just at wrestling, but a second chance at life. I have a very good life. I have my fiance who I’m getting married to in December. I love her family. I have our dogs. I have a second chance at life because for a while there, that didn’t seem like it was going to continue. It got really bad. I have a second chance at life. So it’s like, I gotta put 100% into everything I’m doing. At work, it’s like, don’t complain, put your head down, work hard, do what you’re told, and eventually it’s gonna pay off.”
