Jim Ross recently revealed he is a recovering addict, in a YouTube video with A.V. Club. The interview is to promote his upcoming memoir, “Slobberknocker: My Life In Wrestling”.
“I was addicted to Ambien and Xanax, together, with Crown Royal. I was on Uranus, and Pluto, and Neptune, and everywhere else late at night. Ambien is a temporary medication for insomnia. Temporary. Not ten years…It can happen to anybody. It was like smoking, I just decided one day to quit smoking, and stopped. Done, I’m done.”
I think it was really brave of Good ‘Ol JR to share this story from his past after the year he has had. Everyone here at TPWW wishes Jim Ross the best!
