From Kentucky, a recovering addict here. 29 years clean. I'm not an athlete, so there's differences, but there's a whole lot of like. Thank you for sharing. All the best.

I met Rex Chapman as a kid when he played for the suns. Such a nice guy to all of us. His addiction was wild, but The fact that Rex can have a sense of humor about it and smile and he’s doing well is awesome in itself. Hoping his book helps a lot of people out there that need it. Great interview DP!

Much respect to Rex Chapman for how the dealt with his struggles and getting past them. Chapman was a great player at Kentucky, especially his last year there. Rex was a tremendous athlete that could jump out the gym, he was a force going to the bucket, and he had a beautiful jumper whether it was his pull up or catch and shoot. I enjoyed watching him play then game. 👏🔥

I'm a big Rex Chapman fan. He's very thoughtful both as a basketball insider and as a human. He's one of those guys you'd like to have in your circle of friends.

I think most people are like me; rooting for Rex to stay sober so he can continue to share his remarkable story in an honest fashion. I’m going to read the book and maybe it will answer my #1 question. Where was his dad in all of this? He was a professional as a player and a nationally renowned college coach. I’ve listened to Rex talk about his troubles on a number of occasions and even just now. I don’t remember him ever mentioning his dad one way or the other. I think maybe one time I heard him joke that his dad has said Rex couldn’t have played for him. I took that as his way of joking that Rex may not have been coachable. Was his dad gone by the time Rex was retired and heading down the wrong path? I guess the book will cover that.

It does not deteriorate thought process and decision-making at all. It’s another method to keep yourself alive. Well you work on the reasons why you use drugs, which was the solution to your problem.

@aquadime33362 ай бұрын
Carful who you call an idiot. Suboxone contains a combination of buprenorphine and naloxone. Buprenorphine is an opioid medication, also called a narcotic.

@SteveJobs12162 ай бұрын
It is a drug. A controlled substance. And you trade one addiction for the other. How many people come off of opioids/opiates and then take Suboxone once and quit cold turkey? And from one addict to another what good does it do tearing another addict down?
@darrenlesueur4785Ай бұрын
it does save you from the chaos of oxys or herion but eventually you realize that your a slave to the suboxone and thats very difficult to kick as well.
