'It hit while I was on stage': Ben Napier recounts unintentional experience with pain medication

LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA: Ben Napier shared a moment with fans when he accidentally popped pain medication right before he had to address the audience on stage.

Talking with People, the star said, “I had surgery,” Ben started, and his wife, Erin, joined in, “And like three days later, we had a speaking engagement.”

Pain meds enhanced Ben Napier's confidence during public speaking

He added, “... At a Southern Baptist college. And I took my medicine right before I went in and it hit while I was on stage. My confidence soared, and I could not keep a train of thought," he recalled.

"The whole time I knew what was going on,” Ben told the outlet.

“I’ve never drank. I’ve never taken anything so it was like, ‘Woah,’” he said.

The upcoming season of ‘Home Town’ will be out on January 7, which will also cover his recovery from rotator cuff surgery he underwent earlier this year.

"There's supposedly a scene where we were Facetiming, and I was at the house," Erin explained. Ben jokingly added, "I don't know. I do not remember this FaceTime at all because I was on drugs."

Erin's mysterious disease! 

In his memoir 'Make Something Good Today,' the reality star opened up about Erin's health challenges. His wife was diagnosed with a perforated appendix after enduring years of suffering without knowing the cause.

"It was a really sad and scary and confusing ten years," she told. Ben stood by her for almost when she couldn’t move at all.

After going through multiple surgeries, the mother-of-two finally came out pain-free. "There's always a light in the darkness," she said.

Erin Napier and Ben exchanged vows in November 2008, and Erin reflected on their anniversary in an Instagram tribute on Wednesday.

“I sometimes think of all the people in the world, and how the earth is just this tiny dusty speck in the universe. And somehow, we managed to find each other,” she reflected.

“Thank you, Lord, for 15 years in a marriage that feels like home and comfort and assurance and strength and LOVE,” she further wrote.

“We are so lucky to have found each other young and grown up around each other, forming these identities. I love you, @scotsman.co. 🥹❤️”
