God helps those that help themselves. Millionaire addicts are nothing to burden the Lord with he's got bigger problems.

He's in Katy tonight telling his story at a men's conference.

And just what qualifies you to determine God's priorities?

Very few families remain untouched by addiction.
My mother died almost 4 years ago, just past her 83rd birthday
and a little short of her AA birthday. Had she lived another six
weeks, she would have received her 40th chip - one for each
year of sobriety.
At her funeral, no less than a dozen people came up and introduced
themselves to me. People I had not seen before and had never heard
their names. It seems that my Mom had sponsored all of them, helping
them to remain sober. One day at a time. Each day just as hard as the
day before.

I've no doubt that Josh would admire her, as she would admire him.
Vocations or depth of pockets wouldn't enter either of their minds.
You see, both would know that addiction is a disease that cannot
be cured. But it can be kept at bay, the demons warded off through
support. Support from God Almighty and from caring mortals.

Josh has my prayers - as do all victims of addiction.

And.
I'll bet my last dollar that all the proceeds will go
to substance abuse programs.

Just because josh is rich and a great baseball player doesnt keep him or any of us from needing gods help.

I have reviewed the radio's web site anf all information about the event and see no where it says the $$$$ raised was to be donated. May have missed it, but certainly did not see that.

Where did you get the information ? If the money was to be donated then he deserves credit

Just an opinion, hopefully flamethrowers don't come out.

We can argue about the integrity of man, all day but the man's story is amazing, to rise from the ashes to land at the pinnacle of a sport you have dedicated your life to is awesome, to be willing to be held accountable by his team, MLB and the public is scrutiny few could handle well.

I know he was stricken with guilt ove the gentleman that fell to his death at the park, and maybe the pressure to be on your game, behave yourself and "tow the line" broke him.

He's human....We're all sinners. We can all rise from that, even Josh.

God Bless his road

So why dont we life the guy up and keep him in our prayers like good Christian brother instead of kicking him when hes down? Dont we all deserve another chance? Josh is a good Christian man and needs his brothers and sisters in Christ to be there for him now as much as ever.

Josh is a great baseball player. Did google his name and was not impressed at what I saw, but everyone makes mistakes.

[Swampa]

Maybe I missed where his wife was drinking at home?

Im almost positive she doesnt drink. I just cant find the info I read about it before. Her dad was instrumental in his sobriety.

Hamilton had a relapse....say it isn't so!!! I didn't hear about this until today!:beer:

[Heath]

There is a lot of speculation that there is way more to this story even to the point that the guys on 1310 say that if it all comes out and is true there is a chance he is not a Texas Ranger next year. It will be interesting to see what comes out.

My cousin died at 49 of acute alcohol poisioning. Of 5 alcoholics I worked with for 26years, 2 are dead, 1 has kicked the habit but is very ill, and 2 are still drinking, unemployed and without a family.
This ball player must make a choice. We might support him and others but at some point if he doesn't make the proper choice it will not be worth worrying about.
Some folks forget about Mickey Mantle.
