Jake "The Snake" Roberts is approaching 14 years of sobriety. He has also reunited with his ex-wife Cheryl, and the couple is now doing autograph signings together, Diamond Dallas Page stated on Wrestling Life with Ben Veal.

Page said he spent years worrying about Roberts relapsing but no longer thinks about it. "We're coming up on the 14th year of Jake being sober, and I don't even think about it anymore. I could have a drink around him or whatever. He don't care."

Page estimated it took about five years before he stopped worrying. "There's certain guys, you wonder, 'God, I hope he doesn't go back again.' And I felt like that about Jake for about five years."

Page recalled that Roberts used to rationalize his drinking with a specific line. "He really used to say, 'I'm a man. I can. I deserve three beers. I could have three beers.' And at some point I said, 'When you're really a man, it'll be, I don't need three beers. I don't want three beers, because I know what comes after that, and it's never any good.'"

Roberts' recovery was the subject of the 2015 documentary The Resurrection of Jake the Snake, which chronicled his time living at DDP's accountability crib in Atlanta.

Page said Roberts and Cheryl are now back together and appearing at fan events. "Him and Cheryl are back. Anybody who's an '80s fan who watched Jake, his gorgeous wife was involved with the storyline with him and Rick Rude. And so now they're doing signings together, Jake and Cheryl Roberts."

Cheryl was a prominent on-screen presence in the WWF during the late 1980s, most notably in the storyline between Jake and Rick Rude.
Roberts, now 70, continues to make public appearances. His sobriety journey began at Page's accountability crib in 2012.
