It's Hard for Me to Live with Me--#40 finished

This is a memoir by Rex Chapman a Kentucky basketball player that went onto a long career in the NBA and then in several front office jobs around the league.  While this was going on, he was struggling with several things.  Being injured several times during his career, he develop an addiction to opioids--Vicodin and Oxycontin and later another drug that helped wean him off of those.  Throw in a gambling addition as well that he talks about.  I also think there seems to be a lot of just not growing up involved--he was thrown money in college--probably high school too--then got large contracts in the NBA to the point that he never really thought about money.  Relationships too, as it sounds like he wasn't very faithful to any of his partners--he doesn't go into a lot of detail about this but did seem to at least hint at this during his playing days.  He blew all of his money, divorced, arrested and basically homeless.  It sounds like he is in a better place working, repairing relationships with his kids, handling his addictions so I am glad to hear this.  From reading this memoir though, worried that he is still sort of on a razor's edge--I hope he can stay clean though.

There is 1 WL for this book on PBS so I will probably be posting it soon to get it mailed off, no reason to keep it any longer.
