After making headlines that his mother Maribel Guardia sent him to rehab for his alcohol abuse, Julián Figueroa now confirms that he sought professional help willingly.
News made the rounds that the sexy Costa Rican star sent her son to rebah because she's had enough of his alcohol abuse. Guardia's son, whom she had with Mexican singer Joan Sebastian, is believed to have picked up the bad habit due to many personal problems. TVNotas reports that his alcohol addiction had to do with problems in school, concern for his father's health, lack of attention at home, fame and issues with his girlfriend, Imelda Tuñón.
However, the young star recently opened up to the TV show "Hoy" about the news and admitted that he sought help willingly.
"I discussed it with my mother, I took the initiative to find help because I didn't want to continue drinking this way," he said, also noting that he received support not only from his mom, but also her husband, Marco. "The idea was to receive therapy and go home, but they offered me residency and I stayed."
Figueroa stated that the treatment lasted 35 days and that he was able to go out to eat with his family and go to the movie theaters. He expressed that he feels very proud of his decision and considers it one of the best he's made in his life.
"I realized that things got completely out of hand," he told the TV show of his addiction. "I told my dad [about my decision] and he reacted very well, he told me he was proud of me because it takes a lot of courage to take that action," he recalled.
