Rhodes praised the WWE Wellness Program, noting how they help wrestlers get into rehab, and recalled how they got him into one within two days and showed real concern for his recovery. "I got in there and I woke up eight days later — I had eight days of detox — and then like after two weeks I started seeing things for the first time clear," he explained.

Rhodes further said that the rehab program wanted him to stay for another 30 days after he completed one month, but he refused. "I never wanted to go back there, but it did get me where I needed to be to go out and use the tools that were available," he added.

Rhodes also revealed that his struggle with addiction hurt his relationship with his daughter for years, and that he had to see her on supervised visits and would sometimes have to neglect her to make sure he attended his AA meetings. "My daughter's the number one thing that keeps me clean and sober now," the veteran added. "That's what it took for me to get out of this." Rhodes also noted that he suffers from depression too, but has come to the conclusion that it's okay to have bad days sometimes.
