Being a celebrity isn’t as easy as people think. It takes constant hard work, you’re constantly hearing people critique your work, and there’s always worried about becoming irrelevant.
Add to this the fact you’re constantly chasing the buzz and high you feel when you see thousands of people cheering your name, it’s easy to understand why so many celebrities deal with substance abuse.
Usually, you’re able to battle your addictions in private with help from family and clinics like recoverydelivered.com but when you’re in the public eye, it’s usually obvious when something is wrong with people’s favorite celebs.
Trevor Gumbi being one of them.
The actor and comedian was recently interviewed on Vuzu about the struggles he faced when he was fighting his addiction against cocaine.
Speaking to Vuzu, Trevor told them that he’s glad that he can finally spend and enjoy some quality time with his family: “I can enjoy my kids. My mind is clearer, I can rememeber things and damn, it’s awesome, man.”
He then revealed that he only started using drugs because he honestly had nothing else to do with his money but to sniff it all up. “I think my negative impact with that would have been I was earning too much money with very little responsibilities. I guess I didn’t have… much to keep my mind off it.”
Well we’re honestly happy that Trevor is now drug free and has overcome his addiction.
