A timeline of Josh Gordon's history with substance abuse and suspensions | Boston.com
The linked GQ interview in the article is worth reading. It's notable how self-aware Gordon is and yet he still can't help himself. Anyone who's struggled with addiction themselves or gone through it with a love one can no doubt empathize.
Thanks Quantum, that's exactly what I needed for context.
We've got a long way to go in supporting those of us with mental health issues. Isolating a person socially who is using drugs to overcome issues of social anxiety, identity, and self esteem is about as smart as burning people as witches who exhibit emotional instability or signs of poisoning.
