The last 24 hours haven’t been easy for [Jon Hamm](http://www.people.com/people/jon%5Fhamm).

As the cast of [_Mad Men_](http://www.people.com/people/news/category/0,,MediaProductsTax:MadMen,00.html) promotes the final season of their hit show (set to premiere April 5), the star has been forced to take his private struggle with [alcohol addiction](http://www.people.com/article/jon-hamm-completes-rehab-alcohol-abuse) public after news broke Tuesday he recently completed a 30-day treatment program.

“Life throws a lot at you sometimes, and you have to deal with it as much as you can,” Hamm told [Australia’s _TV Week_](http://www.tvweeklogieawards.com.au/news/articles/2015/3/jon-hamm-breaks-his-silence-on-rehab-stint/) on Wednesday. “I’ve been very fortunate that throughout the most recent 24-hour period, I’ve had a lot of family and friends support me.”

And though it’s easy to draw parallels between Hamm and his troubled character [Don Draper](http://www.people.com/article/mad-men-jon-hamm-advice-bryan-cranston-breaking-bad-finale), the actor, 44, demurred to make a concrete connection between his personal life and onscreen work.

“Obviously there can be a lot of discussion about how much of this is related to that, and honestly I don’t have much to say about that either,” he said. “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.”
