The interpreter of Jon Snow admits: “You get to a point where you feel like a bad person, where you feel like a shameful person. And it seems to you that there is no way out, that it’s just who. You are. Becoming sober is saying to yourself: “No, I can change”.

He specifies at Times : “I absolutely don’t want to be seen as a martyr or someone special. I went through something, it’s my thing. If that helps someone, that’s cool. “
