So interesting getting another look at his mindset in the days ahead of his reveal!<\/p>\n<p><strong>Related: Dax Shepard Is \u2018Really Grateful\u2019 For The Support Following Relapse Confession<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The father of two shared with <strong>Michael Rosenbaum<\/strong>:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>\u201cThere will be people who don\u2019t want to admit they smoke weed. I\u2019m just a little confused by it. If you\u2019re not going to be honest about stuff, there are just roadblocks in interviewing. I could advance this whole thing, but I don\u2019t want to tell people I\u2019ve done cocaine so now I can\u2019t advance it because of that. They all end up being little roadblocks along the way.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>As we mentioned, Dax\u00a0first came clean during the September 25 episode of his <em>Armchair Expert<\/em> podcast, sharing that he was just a week newly sober at the time.<\/p>\n<p>In the lengthy chat, <strong>Kristen Bell<\/strong>\u2018s husband apologized to co-host <strong>Monica Padman<\/strong>, and noted he had reservations about coming clean mostly because he felt bad for his wife. Knowing she would be asked about this down the line in interviews, Dax admitted:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>\u201cThe other reservation I had about coming clean publicly is like ugh, Kristen doesn\u2019t deserve for the next 6 months for every f**king interview she does to be, \u2018OH Dax relapsed!\u2019 It doesn\u2019t feel fair to anyone. It\u2019s not fair to anyone. I\u2019m sorry and embarrassed I put other people in this situation.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Ultimately, it was the lying to Padman and Bell that helped push him to come clean, especially when he realized he was not only being dishonest but gaslighting them both:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>\u201cAnd I\u2019m lying to other people and I know I have to quit. But my tolerance is going up so quickly that I\u2019m now in a situation where I\u2019m taking, you know, eight 30s a day, and I know that\u2019s an amount that\u2019s going to result in a pretty bad withdrawal. And I start getting really scared, and I\u2019m starting to feel really lonely. And I just have this enormous secret.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>We\u2019re so glad Dax came clean. Not only for himself, but for those also struggling and in need of someone to look to for hope.<\/p>\n<p><em>If you are struggling with addiction, call the Substance Abuse and Medical Health Services Administration hotline at 1-800-662-4357 for confidential help 24\/7.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>[Image via Ellen\/<a rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=8ImcAHkNcAQ\">YouTube<\/a>.]<\/em>\n<\/div>\n<blockquote>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">For forums sites go to <span style=\"color: #ff9900;\"><a style=\"color: #ff9900;\" href=\"https:\/\/forum.buradabiliyorum.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Forum.BuradaBiliyorum.Com<\/a><\/span><\/strong>\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<blockquote>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong>If you want to read more Like this articles, you can visit our <span style=\"color: #ff9900;\"><a style=\"color: #ff9900;\" href=\"https:\/\/en.buradabiliyorum.com\/social-media\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Social Media category.<\/a><\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p><span style=\"color: black;\"><a style=\"color: #ff9900;\" href=\"https:\/\/perezhilton.com\/dax-shepard-drug-use-honesty\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Source<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&#8220;#Dax Shepard Explains Why He Has To Be Honest About His Past Drug Use &#8221; Dax Shepard is getting real once again.
