Dwight "Doc" Gooden opened up about his relapse after being seven years sober and his battle with depression. In 1994, Gooden's downward spiral began after a foot injury from kicking a bat rack. This frustration led him back to drugs while rehabbing in minor leagues. Caught in a web of addiction, Gooden describes feeling burdened by self-loathing, compounded by failing familial responsibilities. He shares a chilling moment when his wife discovered him holding a loaded gun to his head. While he lacked the resolve to end his life, Gooden’s plea for intervention highlighted his struggle. His mother's intervention ultimately saved him, redirecting his focus from self-destruction to seeking help.
