Vasilis Zoulias addiction recovery advocacy
Overview
Greek fashion designer Vasilis Zoulias has shared public accounts of his personal battle with addiction and his journey toward recovery.
Initially, Zoulias addressed the issue on social media following the death of Presley Gerber in a rehabilitation clinic. He described his experience as living in an “absolute martyred darkness” and used the moment to contrast the open discussions regarding addiction in the United States with the “significant stigma and silence” present in Greece. He characterized addiction as a “modern disease” that affects all individuals regardless of status.
In subsequent public appearances, Zoulias provided further detail regarding his long-term struggle with alcohol. He recounted a period of personal crisis involving an incident at the Evelpidon courts and described the psychological torment of attempting to quit for nearly two decades. He emphasized that addiction requires lifelong management, noting that for those in his support group, the condition only leaves once they are “under the earth.”
