On 'El Hormiguero,' where comedian JJ Vaquero appeared alongside Goyo Jiménez, JJ Vaquero honestly confessed his long-hidden alcohol problems. He appeared to promote his movie 'Sujétame Cuba,' which is set to premiere on October 17th next year. The movie is reportedly based on the events that unfolded nightly at 'El Erizo,' a bar previously run by JJ Vaquero. 🎬
Just like the movie's content, the program was also filled with laughter and fun, but at some point, the atmosphere turned serious. JJ Vaquero spoke about his alcoholism, the wandering it caused, and how he managed to escape that quagmire. He particularly revealed, "The change truly began when I said, 'I want to leave' (to my wife)." It must have been a very difficult confession, and his courage in speaking about it was impressive. 👍
Professional Help and the Importance of 'That'
JJ Vaquero emphasized the importance of seeking professional help to overcome alcohol problems. He stated, "To quit drinking, you absolutely must get professional help," and "Sports alone are not enough to quit on your own." While sports can be a great help, he made it clear that professional support is essential for a fundamental solution. 🧠
It seems that many people rely on alcohol due to the pressure of always having to bring laughter as comedians, or due to personal difficulties. Through JJ Vaquero's experience, we are reminded once again how wise it is to seek professional help when facing difficulties, rather than struggling alone.
