“How long has it been since you have been drinking?” De la Iglesia asked him, and Kike responded that it was almost eight years ago. “I say it with great pride.

If he feels like drinking alcohol, he said no. “I promised this to my mother in Ovalle. This was September 18th, it was the worst time I ever had. It was the first September 18 that I ate meat because before it was just a drink, I didn’t eat anything. I had a bad time because I wasn’t used to it, but “I never felt like it again.”he confessed.
“That made a super important click for me and I realized that if I continued the way I was doing it, I was going to end up dying and I was going to end up dying alone without having achieved the goals I wanted.”

When asked how he managed to overcome his addictionthe former national team player said that “they did an exercise with a box, and when they handed me this box They tell me to say what I see when I open the box. When I opened the box there was a mirror, I was looking at myself and I saw an emaciated, finished skin that wasn’t me.”
“That gave me a super important click and I realized that if I continued the way I was doing, I was going to end up dying.” and I was going to end up dying alone without having achieved the objectives that I wanted at that moment, such as finishing the football coaching course. From there everything changed,” he concluded.
