--------
Dwight "Doc" Gooden opened up about his relapse after being seven years sober and his battle with depression. In 1994, Gooden's downward spiral began after a foot injury from kicking a bat rack. This frustration led him back to drugs while rehabbing in minor leagues. Caught in a web of addiction, Gooden describes feeling burdened by self-loathing, compounded by failing familial responsibilities. He shares a chilling moment when his wife discovered him holding a loaded gun to his head. While he lacked the resolve to end his life, Gooden’s plea for intervention highlighted his struggle. His mother's intervention ultimately saved him, redirecting his focus from self-destruction to seeking help.

I was thinking the same thing his recollection is awesome even if he wasn’t addicted! Still sharp and this his the first I’ve really noticed his Carribean accent

“I’m not afraid to die, but I’m nervous. I’ve never died before.” Crazy quotable.

The height of the cocaine era affected so many people. So many families were destroyed, and some families are STILL dealing with pain from events that happened 30 years ago. What’s crazy is today’s drugs are more harmful and deadlier than cocaine ever was. I’m very thankful I never did try anything stronger than weed.

I graduated high school in 95 and cocaine ruined me

If anything , I’d blame the United States Government ! I’ve never personally seen anyone affected from use , just selling it.

At least a lot of cocaine and crack heads are alive. Our generations opioid epidemic is killing 50,000 young people every year.

I have so many regrets. I grew up in Tampa and use to judge him for messing up. Now I have a better understanding of people with addiction.

It takes a lot to do an interview about suicide & drug use. You have to be a strong individual. With that being said, Doc's mind is pretty sharp

@erichowell5370 3 дня назад

I grew up watching him. I ust to collect all his baseball cards. I never knew until now. All the stuff he was going through...

He’s high now fyi. Also. No one “catches” you holding a gun to your head unless you wanna be caught. Cry for help. Another narcissistic move to shift the attention from his drug use to he’s the victim.
