Dax Shepard 'grateful' for support after he relapsed in 16-year sobriety journey

Dax Shepard is "really grateful" for the support after he relapsed in his 16-year sobriety journey.

The 'CHiPs' actor has been battling an addiction to prescription medication for over a decade, and has confessed that following his recent motorcycle accident, he relapsed into taking Vicodin again after several years sober.

He shared on his Armchair Expert podcast: "Just quickly, I want to say thanks to all the people that have been so unbelievably lovely to us in response to 'Day 7'. My fears were the opposite of what the result was, yeah. But yeah, struggling with some fraudulent feelings of receiving love based on a f***-up. But, at any rate, I am really, really grateful, and there's so many beautiful, nice people."

Dax confirmed he had suffered a relapse last week.
