Publish date: 2024-05-09

In March, Tyler Christopher sat down for an interview on Maurice Benard's "State of Mind" series. The actor opened up about his exit from both "General Hospital" and "Days of Our Lives," revealing that his substance abuse issues were to blame for him losing his jobs.

"It crushed me, because I took for granted the one thing I love the most. It was devastating for a myriad of reasons. One, the thing that I love the most was taken away. Two, I threw it away. Nobody took it away from me," the actor said. "Having to walk out those doors under that circumstance, was like, 'Wow, this is for real, dude. This is for real. My pride and ego were very quick to intervene." He added that he had been looking for someone to blame, "And when I looked in the mirror, there was only one person to point the finger at."

Christopher also confessed that he had nearly died as a result of his addiction, having flatlined three times, and that he's now working on a book about his life and his experience with sobriety, per Soaps in Depth.
