Mike Tyson only sober for 6 days ?

I don't know why so many of you are shitting on Tyson, at least he's being honest and open about his shortcomings. How many of these classy, beloved athletes practice politics and hide their inner demons for so long, make excuses, blame others. At least Mike is now putting the blame where it belongs (on himself and himself alone) and trying to change his life.

At least yes...

I do not really think it matters what we write. If it is, and Tyson is than 'insecure' then it really could be over for him very soon.

Tyson always has provoked extremes in the boxing community, I guess to a degree that is his lasting appeal, and his politicking, as he does seem to play up to it...

I hope he stays well and keeps those demons controlled.

Sad.

This isn't really surprising at all. Anytime we've seen Tyson claiming to be happy or in a better place, he also seems loopy as hell. There are no pills to combat addiction, they are usually prescribed to help wane off a more harmful chemical dependency. If you rely on substances for instant gratification long enough, it's going to own you. Simple as.

Iron Mike Tyson, just as vulnerable as most people with problems, drink and drugs a part
of modern LIFE for some.! Do you show pity or say he was a waster,! ours is not to judge
you can have your opinion, he's this or that does money really make people happy at the
time yes maybe. Mike Tyson is a troubled individual, will he sort his life out I don't no that's
up to him alone, no one can stop him drinking or taking drugs only himself.

Sobriety is a day to day minute to minute ordeal. I'm not shocked by Mike's admitted use, I think everyone is rooting for him to find peace. He's had a rough life, he's been a gladiator and with substance abuse you have to admit weakness... it's a difficult prospect for a fighter. I'm glad he's being more honest with himself now
