Jim Ross was recently interviewed by The A.V. Club on his past drug addiction which he is to reveal in his upcoming autobiography, Slobberknocker: My Life In Wrestling. Below is what he had to say on the matter:
"You're going to hear about my addiction to drugs. I was addicted to Ambien and Xanax, together, with Crown Royal. I was on Uranus, and Pluto, and Neptune, and everywhere else late at night. [Because] I had severe sleep apnea β and still do - I stopped breathing 99 times in an hour in a sleep test. So I wasn't in real great shape with that deal."33 Amish Facts That Will Make Your Skin Crawl"
He added on Breaking his addiction:
"Ambien is a temporary medication for insomnia. Temporary. Not ten years. β¦It's not a [revolutionary] story, it's eye-opening, and shows it can happen to anybody. It was like smoking, I just decided one day to quit smoking, and stopped. Done, I'm done."
