During an interview in late 2007, Birch revealed that he had been using drugs since he was 15, using cocaine, crack, and heroin, and mixing it with alcohol.
I've been a drug addict and alcoholic since I was 15 years old, right before I started in wrestling – so that's the better part of 15 years. —Adam Birch, 2007As a result of this, Birch has overdosed three times, and wrecked ten cars. Birch entered rehab in 2006, and missed six months of work. After his return, Birch became addicted to painkillers, due to the facial injury he suffered at the Armageddon pay-per-view in December 2006. After a direct intervention by WWE owner Vince McMahon, Birch was released, and credits this with him beating his addictions.

“Wherever the State touches the personal life of the infant, the child, the youth, or the aged, helpless, defective in mind, body or moral nature, there the State enters ‘woman’s peculiar sphere,’ her sphere of motherly succor and training, her sphere of sympathetic and self-sacrificing ministration to individual lives.”
