Josh Hamilton: Heroin to Home Runs
January 13, 2013 in DRUGS & ADDICTION, STORIES & LETTERS | 2 comments
If you watched the 2010 world series, you may have noticed Texas Rangers Phenom Josh Hamilton who led his team to the big October showdown in the baseball world. He has a batting average of .352 and hit 32 home-runs in 2010. What makes this a bigger story is Josh’s journey from drug addiction to baseball stardom. The blog “Man of Depravity” published Josh Hamilton’s story in a short bio and video you should view called Heroin to Home Runs; The Story of Josh Hamilton. Hamilton pulled no punches in laying it down to a higher power the same way he pulls no punches when he crushes a baseball. He puts out a message to all other addicts; recovery is a possibility. Every day is an another opportunity to stay sober. One day at a time. Josh has been sober since 2005 and knows intimately that successful sobriety requires daily vigilance as he follows his path of freedom from addiction. Link by Big Rod
