At this point it seems there are some serious addiction issues that have taken over and that's not something I would wish on anyone.  There are millions of people in similar situations.  At the same time he has been given opportunity after opportunity with some of the best health care and treatment options money can buy.  Something most people in similar situations never get.  As a person I hope he finally gets the help he needs.  As an NFL player I think he doesn't deserve any more opportunities.   Some people have to hit rock bottom, even a few times, before they really learn they can no longer continue on the same path.  Let's hope Josh as a person can beat it at some point, learn, and move on to a healthier and better life.

I know that it's sad to see a great talent succumb to addiction like that.  However, it's not like he doesn't have a tremendous support system, all the benefit of the NFL PA, and many, many other resources to help him get the treatment to overcome this "inner demon".  The truth is, he likely won't choose to qut, until it's too late for his athletic career to have a chance of reviving.
