Tyson: I've been lying about being sober [vid]

Mikes the GOAT

 

Six days.....give the man a break
He is trying and I wish Mike nothing but success :smoke

 

This:good

Takes a BIG f/n man to do what he did last night, and then to come out again, in front of the world and give back his chip and admit his weakness.

Hopefully in 6 more days he can say he's been sober for 12 days, and then 12 days from then 24 days, then 48, 96, 192, 384 and so on and on and on.

Hope he makes it for good.:bbb

 

I hope he's OK, looks like he still hasn't found complete peace of mind, then again, have any of us?

 

The man, lets see any one else ever own up to stuff like this guy. No mask needed for mike.

 

Wait...

So of all the things he talked about, forgiveness, his battle with self-hatred, and everything else... plus his really heartfelt admission about lying to people about being sober, and his determination to make things right with himself...

All you can focus on is that he has lied to people (although he came out and admitted it without provocation of any sort) ???

 

Well at least you feel good about yourself posting this,due to lack of your accomplishments..

 

Never mind the fact that he's under no obligation to let anyone in on what he does in his personal life. If he wants to get drunk and high every single day it's really none of your ****ing business.

 

Despite all the movie and stand up success Mike has had in the past few years, u could always tell that he was depressed and not truely enjoying it.

I hope his sobriety cheers him up and gets him out of this dark mood, because if he keeps heading down this path i think he will end up killing himself

 

He is walking through the pain right now in front of the world and it burns:fire him daily.

I hope he can find the grace and peace to move forward and be truly happy. He put on a good fight card last night and he can do more if he stays the path:smoke

I can't judge the man as he is trying which to me says a LOT:happy
:smoke

 

I hold Mike Tyson in higher esteem than I ever have previously. He is a truly a Champion. He is open and honest, some may feel to a fault. He seems to face his challenges npw with same spirit that he used to master opponents in the ring. Mastering ones self and their demons is anyones biggest challenge. I wish him luck and I will never root or wager against him.

 

F*cking hell man, I got a bit teary eyed watching this towards the end. I went through this kind of **** at a younger age, thankfully I had some loving people around me to help pull me out of it. Drug and alcohol addiction takes you to a really dark place. I wish I believed in prayer, because I'd pray for him every day. A great champion, and a great person, however flawed he may be.

 

You can make it Mike!

Everyone has weaknesses.

Everyone gets knocked down sometimes.

As long as you get back up you have nothing to be ashamed of.

It takes a lot of courage to come clean before the whole world.

We got your back champ!

 

so what drugs was he doing?
