Chasing Glory Recap w/ Jeff Hardy – WrestleMania 33 Return, Drug & Alcohol Abuse, Working A Lighter Schedule, More!

He was arrested for trafficking a controlled substance shortly after leaving WWE in 2009 because he had such a high volume of pain pills on him. He thinks that arrest saved his life because he was taking 8-12 Vicodin a day, to the point where he’d make himself throw up.
After that he was signed by TNA and he’s still very thankful that they gave him a chance at that time. He stopped taking illegal drugs but began taking sulmas, a pain medication that was still legal at that time. The now infamous match with Sting where he was a walking zombie happened because of his addiction to Sulmas at that time.

Hardy was arrested for a DUI in March of this year and he says he’s still ashamed about that, but he doesn’t allow himself to dwell on it. He’s doing everything he can to put that behind him and he told Triple H that he plans on being more devoted to his career than ever before. Hardy goes on the record and says, “I’m never getting arrested again”.
Moving forward, he says his current WWE contract expires within the next two years and he hopes to get a lighter schedule after that. He hopes to sing more with his band and a lighter WWE schedule would make that possible. He also wants to spend as much time as possible with his family moving forward.
That sums up today’s episode of Chasing Glory. You can listen to the show yourself anytime here, and I’ll catch ya next week for another recap!
