how he's been able to work through it all:"I was self-medicating with alcohol.
That's what I thought would make me happy and get out of that depression. When I
would wake up the next day after a night like that, going on a trip like that,
and you wake up the next day and that is all gone...You are left staring at the
ceiling by yourself, and in that depression and back in that hole, that dark
hole of sitting in a room by yourself, super depressed
Brian

life. What did that get me? Where did that get me except out of the NFL? Where
did that get me? Disgraced?"Manziel聽added that he has quit drinking alcohol,
