Brett Favre Opens Up About His Journey
The unbelievable Green Bay Packers quarterback as of late uncovered that he had an alarming fight with painkillers addiction and nearly needed to end his own life. Favre said he hit “absolute bottom” subsequent to winning the Super Bowl in 1997.
“Toward the finish of the season, I had eight pills in my ownership. Eight pills would not do what I required it to do. I would get zero buzz,” Brett Favre said. “I was home in Mississippi, I was as low as possible perhaps be, despite the fact that I won the Super Bowl, won three MVPs in succession. This entire time, I hadn’t rested a piece, perhaps one hour an evening. I was low, and I said ‘It’s one of two things. Possibly I bite the dust, or I flush these pills down the toilet.’ I sat by the toilet for two hours, and at last I unloaded the pills in the toilet, flushed them, and I nearly needed to commit suicide as a result of doing that.”
Favre said he had withdrawal symptoms for about fourteen days, however had the option to push through. Favre later conceded that he went to recovery for liquor addiction, which he was in denial about for quite a long time, too. It’s really cool to see an athlete make himself as powerless as Favre made himself during that interview. Indeed, even hotshot athletes can go through genuine physical and enthusiastic struggles. Ideally Favre’s affirmations in this interview can prompt others seeking out the assistance they need. Favre played in the NFL from 1991 until 2010. He was inducted into the Pro Football Hall of Fame in 2016.
