Favre said he hit “rock bottom” after winning the Super Bowl in 1997.

“At the end of the season, I had eight pills in my possession. Eight pills would not do what I needed it to do. I would get zero buzz,” Brett Favre said. “I was home in Mississippi, I was as low as I could possibly be, even though I won the Super Bowl, won three MVPs in a row. This whole time, I hadn’t slept a bit, maybe one hour a night. I was low, and I said ‘It’s one of two things. Either I die, or I flush these pills down the toilet.’ I sat by the toilet for two hours, and eventually I dumped the pills in the toilet, flushed them, and I almost wanted to kill myself because of doing that.”

Here I thought he was free and clear of all that BEFORE he won SB 31.
Well.....he’s also only human.
I wonder how many past players were like that but never came out and admitted it.

If I remember correctly, Deanna was the motivation for his finally getting clean. And by clean I mean no more drinking or pills. She essentially told him if he didn't he was going to die and she wasn't going to watch it, especially with the girls. In other words, she get sober or get single bruh. Every relationship needs that kind of strength.

I was aware of that. But I thought that was before the SB winning season.
I remember when he went in to dry out, how he said “bet against me”, then went and won it all.
I had no idea he was still doing the drugs.
Any addiction is hard to beat. Drugs, booze, cigarettes, over eating, all of them.
I was a teen drunk. From age 17 until about 20. My Dad died, and I went off the deep end for awhile. Drank every night until drunk, and smoked 3 packs of cigarettes a day. Almost didn’t graduate high school because of it.
Lauriejean helped me get out of that “hamster wheel” of destruction.
Now I have a couple drinks or beers a year, and I’m good with that. In fact I bought a “Coors Light” to enjoy during last season....it’s still in the fridge!😂
