A Peer Support, Wellness and Respite Center is opening in Barstow County
in Georgia. Jimmy Rave is going to be the director of the
facility. Georgia's Daily Tribune has the story about the center
opening.
Speaking to The Road to Mania Blog (http://maniaweekend.blogspot.com/), Rave said of his run as a member of The Rock 'n Rave Infection with Christy Hemme and Lance Hoyt: "My 2009 run, I was a complete drug addict to be honest. I didn't give a damn about wrestling because I just cared about scoring more pills and numbing myself. Which people probably could notice about what kind of shape I was in and how I looked and even my wrestling."
Rave returned to Ring of Honor following his dismissal from TNA (which was as a result of creative no longer having plans for him rather than his prolonged drug abuse), but it would not last. ROH cut ties with Rave in September 2009 due to his major addiction to drugs. He explains what he did next.
"In turn, I went to rehab, got a job as a director of a Wellness Center, and I now help people realize they throw everything away that they love when they start abusing drugs," Rave said. "My first run was amazing though. I learned so much and had the greatest times of my life there. I love the ROH product and a lot of the boys there have been my closest friends since I was 19."
