Sir Bradley Wiggins disclosed his battle with cocaine addiction following his retirement from professional cycling, expressing gratitude for his recovery journey. The 2012 Tour de France champion, who recently became sober, acknowledged the serious fears of his family, particularly his children, who felt they might find him dead due to his addiction. Wiggins described himself as a 'functioning addict' and shared that he is now working with a therapist and trying to gain control over his resulting life challenges and triggers. He credits support from Lance Armstrong in navigating his recovery.
I was a functioning addict. People wouldn't realise. I was high most of the time for many years. I was walking a tightrope.
I'm still figuring a lot of this out but what I have got is a lot more control of myself and my triggers; I'm a lot more at peace with myself now.
