Dex Shepard is getting clear about his mistakes on the road to health.
The 45-year-old actor got bored with the soul on “Armchair Expert” on the September 25 episode of his podcast, where he gave a detailed presentation of his latest phantom shortly after celebrating a 16-year well with wife Kristen Bell.
Shepard began accepting his first slip-up, which he found eight years ago during a visit to his then-sick father, a cancer patient, whom the actor had given a percoset to ease his pain.
Shepard – who was prescribed vicodin at home – said he doubled down on his second prescription while bonding with his dad during his last days.
“You know, we had very normal and very little king friction,” Shepard recalled. “But no. The 1 thing we usually got was we were both king addicted and we never used anything together. And we sat there and threw stones and looked at the lake. And in that moment, I felt happy and I was happy. “
Bell later showed surprise by offering his support, admitting to Shepard that he went back again.
“It was eight years ago,” Shepard continued, “now I have this experience where I did it, I felt bad, but it didn’t work out. It was, I felt bad, I said I felt bad, And then I moved on and that’s fine. “
Over the years, Shepard has regularly battled himself into medicine for the legal pain of feeding his addiction – due to multiple motorcycle injuries – seven surgeries performed.
He said, ‘I ride a lot.’ “Sometimes after I get on the bandwagon, I feel like I’m entitled to two vicodins at the end of the day because I’m in pain. It doesn’t look that crazy again. “
Six months ago, Shepard realized he had a pill when he found himself in “shadow and shadow” from a pill intake.
“For the last eight weeks maybe, I don’t know … I’ve been on them all day. I am allowed to stay on them at some dose because I have a prescription. And then I add that too, “he admits.” And then all the prescriptions run out and now I’m taking milix mill auxis that I can buy when I can. [it]”
When Shepard began to hide the habit from his wife, Bell, and began lying to his podcast co-host, Monica Padman.
“And I lie to others and I know I have to give up,” he admitted. “But my endurance is growing so fast that I’m now in a situation where I’m taking, you know, eight 30s a day, and I know this is the amount that will result in a pretty bad withdrawal. And I’m really scared, and I’m really starting to feel lonely. And I just have this tremendous secret. “
“I’m very obviously starting to detox and withdraw now,” he added. “And I lie and start saying that my arthritis flares up.”
Less than two weeks ago, Shepard confessed to his co-host, telling him, “I’m gaslighting you and I know I am. And I think you’re crazy and Kristen is crazy.”
He then apologized to his wife and Padman, adding that he feared being robbed again on worse objects.
“My fear was that if I had one day I would go drink and I would coke,” he said. “I haven’t drank beer in 16 years and I haven’t dropped a single line in 16 years. And if I have a day, then I too can probably do what I really want with the king and then start. And my fear is that if I do that, it could take me three years to get back into that cage and I would die. “
