WWE star Eva Marie revealed in a personal essay that she is “an alcoholic,” saying that it’s harmed relationships and more.

“I’m an alcoholic. I have relapsed, destroyed relationships, hurt my family, and disappointed myself numerous times. I will be an alcoholic for the rest of my life,” she wrote, according to InStyle.

She realized that she had hit rock bottom when she served jail time before she got professional help.

“I served three months in jail for repeated DUIs. I didn’t have a license, I didn’t have a stable job, and I was living in an apartment that I could only afford due to a heavy discount my landlord offered me because a murder had taken place there between the previous tenants. That’s what my life looked like right before I started down my road to sobriety,” she wrote.

Marie, 33, added that while he has been off the bottle for five years, her recovery is a daily process.

“I am still an alcoholic. This fairy tale life is always one drink away from shattering. That’s why I attend 6 a.m. AA meetings multiple times a week and do weekly step work with my sponsor,” wrote Marie.

On Instagram, she shared that she “used to be incredibly embarrassed, so much so that I avoided getting help because I felt like only ‘weak’ people can’t handle something on their own and I was embarrassed that people would judge me and look at me negatively. I am so happy I no longer feel this way, and I want to encourage anyone who is struggling with addiction to take that first step of asking for help, it will literally save your life.”

She left professional wrestling in 2017.
