During his podcast On The Mend<\/a>, his guest asked Matt whether he still “sometimes has nightmares about being back on the alcohol?\u201d<\/p>\n

Matt responded: “Oh yeah, drinking and using dreams I call them, yeah all the time. Well not all the time, but occasionally, yeah it scares me.\u201d<\/p>\n

Matt Willis admitted that he spent years hiding the truth of how bad his struggled with addiction from his wife and Love Is Blind UK co-host Emma were. As such, he now feels like he needs to be transparent with her about everything, something he joked has “bored her to death.”<\/p>\n

He continued: “My wife is bored to death of me telling her everything, but I can’t keep a secret, I can’t keep anything, if something happens I have to tell her straight away.<\/p>\n

\u201cI don’t wanna have that feeling inside of me any more that I am keeping anything back.\u201d<\/p>\n

Matt added that he used to be “amazing” at lying before he became sober, but is now an absolutely “terrible liar.”<\/p>\n

Matt recently celebrated eight years of sobriety, sharing: “This one feels different. It marks the same length of time I had before my last relapse and this time I know I\u2019m in a completely different place.<\/p>\n

“I didn\u2019t really wanna tell anyone as I was scared of relapsing because I relapsed so many times.<\/p>\n

\u201cI said I would never do it again and I f*cking done it again, I had broken that promise so many times and so I was scared of putting it out there because I was scared I would do it again and everyone would go ‘ha!'”<\/p>\n
