Happy for Josh Gordon and hoping he continues to get the support he needs. He is incredibly charismatic and likable. I had no idea he was so intelligent, humble, and hard-working. It would be incredible to see him back on the field, but I hope he chooses whichever path offering the best chance of success to stay sober.
Addiction is disease that doesn't presently have a cure, though I think in the next ten years or so, this will change. It was only relatively recently that the medical field finally understood this is a genetic condition and not just a matter of weak willpower or bad influences. As such, the science behind how it works and how it can be cured are relatively new but promising.
I hope that the Krafts have a dry Super Bowl ring party this year. One thing that greatly hurts chemical addicts is the frequent availability of alcohol, and the ignorance that many have about social drinking, not realizing that one of your friends is likely to die from alcohol-related issues or is struggling tremendously with an addiction. Alcohol is the biggest gateway drug, but everyone toasts with it and act like you're weird if you choose not to drink.
