A few years ago, Jeremy Ferrari managed to overcome his addiction to alcohol. Now sober, the 37-year-old comedian has made it his mission to help people in difficulty. For him, speaking is one of the best ways out. “I got away with it without treatment, practically only with talking. Talk groups, alcoholics anonymous, etc.”, he explained in particular this Monday, March 13, 2023 against Julia Vignali and Thomas Sotto on the set of Telematin.
“I will never be cured, I will always be an alcoholic”, he added. “It’s a neurological disease, addiction can’t be cured. You just have to be weaned off and then make sure to soften the life around so that refusing a glass of rosé isn’t too unbearable. And invisible diseases I have, it’s the same. Hygiene of life is essential and then speaking groups. That’s why I wanted to talk about it because me, it’s thanks to speaking that I I’m released. I know it helps a lot of people to go see psychiatrists, go to alcoholics anonymous meetings or whatever.”

This is not the first time that Jeremy Ferrari has spoken about his alcoholism. Guest of Léa Salamé and Christophe Dechavanne in What an era! on October 15, 2022, the young man had already opened his heart to this terrible addiction. “I always felt that I had a drinking problem. When I didn’t drink all week it was because I was holding back from drinking, I was drinking all the time, all the time, all the time“. According to him, this addiction has imposed itself in his life little by little. “Basically around the age of 30, I agreed to drink every night. […] From the moment I accepted alcohol every evening, the anxieties became more important. And at some point you get up one morning, and you’re unable to function. One thing leading to another, I found myself drink all day, morning til night. Touching confidences.
