This comeback marks a turning point in Gibson's life, just less than a year ago, he bravely disclosed his addiction to sleeping pills and a near-fatal epileptic seizure. Gibson revealed that his addiction began in 2013, when a serious knee injury triggered insomnia and drug dependence, which was made worse by alcohol abuse.
