When he retired in 2021, the problem worsened. Until one day he had a seizure and ended up in the hospital, realizing that he had to “cut” his addiction.
“I wasn’t even functioning at that time.” I look at photos from that time and see that I was gray. If I continued, I would die. I took 12 to 14 sleeping pills every day.
They took me to the hospital, but I didn’t tell anyone about the pills. Daniel [его жена] she knew I was taking them, but she didn’t know how much exactly. I was good at hiding the problem… Sometimes I would take them all at once when we went to bed, telling her I would bring her a glass of water.
Now I’m not ashamed to say that I was sick, but then I didn’t tell anyone about it in the hospital. The doctors thought it was epilepsy, but no. It was pills, I took them for years,” Gibson, 36, told The 42.
