Jake Roberts Opens Up About Getting Sober And His Daughter's Health Problems

WWE legend Jake The Snake Roberts has had a rocky road in life. The star has battled drug addiction along with health issues. But now he's sober and has his life back on track.

During a recent interview with Wrestling Inc, Roberts opened up about being sober, positive changes in his life, and his daughter's health issues.

On bouncing back over the last decade:

“It’s been great – hard but great. Nine years ago, I started getting sober. To accomplish that was a miracle and it took a lot of hard work. It took a lot of love from Diamond Dallas Page to stick with me even after I failed time after time. He did stick with me and I finally accomplished our goal. To live the last eight years alcohol and drug free is so wonderful. I’m so excited about 2020 … Things just keep coming like getting into the Hall of Fame. There’s so many things that have been so good to me like getting my relationships back with my children. I keep waiting to wake up and be back the other way. I’m living a dream because it’s just been that good.”

On his daughter having health issues:

“She has an amazing story to tell and needs to get it out there as 10 years ago she was misdiagnosed with MS. After years of treatment for MS, which had her on death’s door, she had to retire from her job with the US government. She was an addictionologist and psychiatrist for the troops coming back home. She had to retire from the job and was basically going home to get ready to die. She was getting weaker and weaker and it was horrible.”
