You likely didn't notice it since the publicity has been pretty quiet lately, but
Brett Favre's wife, Deanna, has written a book. Shocking, right? Well, if you were so bold as to purchase this classic, you might find out that
Deanna almost divorced Favre because of his alcohol abuse, as she said on ABC's
Good Morning America today. Asked why she put something so personal in the book, Deanna replied:
"I struggled with that, with adding that in the book, and he -- it was Brett -- who said 'Put it in there,'" Favre told [Robin] Roberts.
"Because we also have friends who are going through addiction, who always are asking, you know, advice, and he said 'I think you should leave it in there.' I think, you know, people need to realize that sometimes it gets worse before it gets better. And you can pick yourself up, no matter where you are, um, no matter how low you are in your life, you know, you can always turn things around. So I left it in there."
Brett also dealt with an addiction to painkillers and spent some time in rehab in 1996. Now, if Brett had only gone the
Tony Gonzalez route, he wouldn't have needed to worry about this issue to begin with.
