Washington D.C.: 'Game of Thrones' star Kit Harington is nothing but proud of his decision to get help, as he continues to recover from stress and alcohol use at a rehab. The 32-year-old actor, who played Jon Snow in 'GoT', has been at a health retreat in Connecticut for about a month. He checked in weeks before the HBO Drama series' finale episode aired on May 19.
While he continues to recover from his health issues, a source told Page Six that the actor has "nothing but pride for his decision." "If seeing Kit get help can help anyone struggling, that's fantastic. There's no shame at all to this," the source asserted. To deal with stress, negative emotions, and alcohol use, Harington is undergoing psychological coaching, cognitive behavioural therapy and is also practicing mindful meditation at the facility, Page six reported on Wednesday.

Everyone close to him really wanted him to get some rest. Right now, he just needs peace and quiet," the source said," the source said.
