Jeff Hardy recently provided an update on his mental health, revealing significant improvement after quitting drugs and alcohol.
Appearing on Busted Open Radio with his brother Matt Hardy, Jeff discussed his AEW run, past experiences in TNA, and where he envisions retiring.
When asked about his current mental state, Jeff shared that he now feels a sense of clarity, reminiscent of his childhood days before his struggles with substance abuse.
“Oh, clear-minded. To be a sober, innovative Jeff Hardy, I mean, it just…it’s almost childlike, the feeling of how it felt before I ever gave into drugs or alcohol. We were obsessed with pro wrestling. That was it. That’s what, that was our main concern. That obsession became our dream that came true as pro wrestlers. So I feel like I’m back there in an older body. I think a lot more with my heart now, instead of my mind. I try my best not to let my mind play tricks on me.”
Hardy also mentioned his newfound obsession with ice baths, which he believes has been crucial in helping him maintain sobriety.
“The ice baths have been helping incredibly. I’m totally addicted to ice baths now, instead of alcohol or drugs and I love it. The first time I went underwater in an ice bath, I said, ‘Whoa, there’s something.’ It was the strangest thing ‘Whoa, there’s something to this.’
It was almost like a high of some kind. Every morning I’m in the ice bath, and that’s the biggest difference is just a clean and sober Jeff Hardy. Shoot, the moon, the sky, the stars are the limit.”
Hardy made a surprise appearance at TNA’s Against All Odds event in June, reuniting with his brother Matt Hardy, and the legendary duo has been on an exciting run in the promotion ever since.
