*Big announcement - KillaScrilla - 01-15-2021
Dex walks up to the podium as the crowd of reporters are talking among themselves. They see he is bothered by something. They all get quite as he begins to speak...
Thank you all for coming out today on such short notice. I called you guys here to announce that as of the end of the season I will be retiring. Its a tough decision that I feel is best for me and my family.
The reporters begin to talk among themselves. Rumors have swirled for a few days that Dexter was found unresponsive and without a pulse from a overdose but nothing has been confirmed.
As some have heard im sure, last week I was found with no pulse and had to be brought back from death basically. While I didn't see a tunnel or light or anything like that. I seen nothing, total darkness until my eyes shot back open and I was on a stretcher with police and paramedics around me along with my wife.
Dexter breaks down into tears and has to step to the side for a minute. Back up to the podium, this time with his wife he begins again....
While I am not proud of my actions or what transpired afterwards I can admit my faults. I have spoken to coach and the team. They are behind me 100%. I hope me saying this in public and owning it will help someone else admit they have a problem. Don't be ashamed of it or it will destroy you. Everyone has demons inside of them. It takes true courage to fight them and not give up. Im here today to say this to everyone, I'm and addict and I want help. I will not let this be what controls my life. My kids and wife needs me.
He breaks down again and hugs his wife. Tears rolling down his cheeks. He is sobbing now. He steps back to the mic.
I wish I could take back the moment I made the mistake of letting it get to me. I was sober for 1 year but it only takes one sec to ruin your life and possibly end it. I was lucky and was found. But at what cost? My 5 year old son found me in the floor. He yelled and cried in my face but got nothing. He was scared and went upstairs and got the neighbor who came and did cpr until paramedics showed to shoot two doses of narcatan into me. No kid should find their parents like that ever and I got to live with that. He does not fully understand all that happened but hes my hero. My heart hurts when he tells me I scared him in his little voice. Thats all I have for everyone thanks for coming out.
* This is my story that actually happened last week. Im going to work on myself and my family but hope to return sometime later on. Hence why i wrote media for money. But honestly if anyone has a problem please speak with someone and seek help. No kid should go through what I did. I love my family and
admit I made a horrible decision that almost cost me everything. It was the second time id ever tried it and I will never do that again. Love everyone here and please no negative comments. I beat myself up each day since then enough. Thank you

Fuck man that must have been hard to share but thanks for doing so. I really hope others that need listen to you when you said to talk to someone if they need. Really do do that.

I think the vulnerability you've demonstrated here is noble beyond measure. I've heard it said that anything that is mentionable is manageable. Too many good folk have been lost due to stigma and embarrassment preventing them from getting help. I wish you nothing but the best, brother, and I sincerely hope you come back when and if you're ready. You might not realize it now, but this could be a lifesaving gift to someone who reads this.

Stay strong man, it's good to have it out in the open and I am glad you are talking about it, it truly helps. Hope your kid gives you the strength to continue and be strong , not just for them, but for yourself as well.
Take care and if you need to vent or something, DM's are always open for anyone.

Man, I'm beyond thankful that you are still here to tell us your story. My hope is that eventually you are able to stop beating yourself up and move forward, because you have a lot of life to live and you'll be able to make countless positive memories that will outshine this one low point. Echoing others here, if there's anything we can do to help, always feel free to reach out. Much love to you and your family
