Kristen Bell Opened Up About Dax Shepard’s Sobriety

Recently Kristen Bell speaks out about husband Dax Shepard’s relapse in an interview. She shared some heartfelt messages and showed her support for Dax.

The Armchair Expert host recently spoke about relapsing after 16 years of sobriety. Bell shared an update on her husband’s health in a new interview. She said, “He is actually doing really great…I mean look, you know, everybody’s up against their own demons, sometimes it’s anxiety and depression, sometimes it’s substance abuse.”

The Good Place actress shared, “The thing that I love most about Dax is A, that he was able to tell me, and tell us and say, ‘We need a different plan,'”

Bell continued. “Like we have a plan, if he has to take medication for any reason, I have to administer it. But he was like, ‘So we need a stronger plan, I was faltering and I have to do some sort of emotional work to figure out why I wanted to use again.'”

Bell also noted “He’s addicted to evolving…and he was like, ‘I don’t want to risk this family and I did. So, let’s put new things in place to make sure it doesn’t happen again.'”

Shepard also explained about relapsing, “For the last eight weeks maybe, I don’t really know…I’m on them all day…and I’m allowed to be on them at some dosage because I have a prescription and then I’m also augmenting that. And then all the prescriptions run out and I’m now just taking 30 mil Oxys that I’ve bought whenever I decide I can do [it].”

Bell shares two daughters with Dax. They decided for going back to therapy and like to continue to “stand by” Dax, because he’s “very, very worth it.”
