Jim Varsallone of The Miami Herald has a new article online featuring quotes from Jeff Hardy. Below is an excerpt:
“I really believe that people learn from examples and through problems themselves,” Hardy said. “OK, my brother [Matt] and myself, for example, we never drank. We never did drugs. Nothing. I was 21, 22, when I started drinking beer, in wrestling, and then it escalated.
“It’s easy to do. It’s easy to get addicted, but if you never start, you’ll never have to stop. That’s the best advice I can give anybody. I’m back to a place now where I was before, where I don’t need a pill to go paint a canvas. That’s my new fix is doing it again. It took a while to get there, but I’m here, and I’m a father now as well. That’s another huge inspiration in my life.”
“Through everything that has happened recently, to see Matt now, I think he’s doing really well,” Jeff said. “Even with my daughter now, I kind of know how my dad feels.”
