Don Draper decided to open up about his recent struggles, and we applaud him.

Jon Hamm secretly entered a 30-day rehab to address his alcohol abuse, it was reported yesterday, and now the actor is shedding some light on his recent battle with the bottle.

"Life throws a lot at you sometimes and you have to deal with it as much as you can," he said in an interview with Australian magazine TV Week.

When the publication asked him if it was difficult to play a heavy drinker on his show Mad Men, the A-lister drew some comparisons, but did not totally blame his behavior on his craft.

"I've said in varying ways that acting can be a difficult endeavor. Certainly not as difficult as the recent example I used of being a baby heart surgeon. But it does present its own challenges and so does life," he admitted.

He sounds like he's on the road to recovery!
