“Nag-relapse ako nung December and naging continuous siya up until last month, but now I’m back sa 12-step program na nakakatulong po sa akin,” Baron told One News in an interview with Julius Babao and Christine Bersola.
“May allergic reaction po ako sa utak ko sa alak — I cannot stop. Once na matikman ko siya kailangan apat na araw po hanggang sa hindi na ako makatayo,” he added.
Baron also denied that he and his wife parted ways saying they only give each other time for him to finish his rehabilitation program.

The actor said that his recent misunderstanding with his wife was the trigger of his relapse.
“Nagkaroon lang kami ng misunderstanding ni misis, parang nawala ‘yung pagka-empathetic ko and hindi ko nabigyang halaga ‘yung mga gusto niya—kasi dapat naging aware ako kasi needs ng wife ko e. So naging selfish ako ulit and ayon na,” Baron explained.
