When I hear the name Mike Tyson I don’t think of a boxing champion. I think of a guy who has had major legal problems over the years for assault and battery, drugs and, mostly recently, a DUI that just landed him in drug rehab.

A news article reports that Tyson’s driving under the influence charge came after a police officer saw him wiping a white substance off the front of his car - later identified as cocaine. Tyson admitted he uses cocaine whenever he can get his hands on it and was snorting it, and smoking it.

Tyson’s cocaine use is no secret, and it’s nothing new. He was using it years ago when he was a boxing champion. Obviously he didn’t get effective drug rehab at that time. In fact, his addiction to cocaine may be the reason why behind his failing career and his continuous legal problems.

When someone is addicted to drugs, it’s not unusual for careers to fail – no matter how good the addict is at what he does. Failing marriages and other personal relationships can also be expected. The only way to really handle it is by completing a successful drug rehab program.

Would Tyson still be on top if he’d done a drug rehab program years ago when his drug problems first started?
