Being sober is not a struggle for me.
From Josh Gordon
Anyone who knows me knows that I am not much of a drinker.
Did I think it was hypocritical that a professional league making hundreds of millions of dollars off beer sponsorships was telling me not to drink? Yes.
I have let down many in Cleveland - my Browns teammates, our hard-working coaching staff, the team's ownership, and the loyal fan base that wants nothing more than to win. Playing there is different than in many other cities. We feel the fans pain.
I failed myself when I ruined a once-in-a-lifetime chance to be Robert Griffin III's running mate during his Heisman Trophy-winning season at Baylor.
I am not someone who deserves to be dissected and analyzed like some tragic example of everything that can possibly go wrong for a professional athlete.
I am a human being, with feelings and emotions and scars and flaws, just like anyone else.
I make mistakes - I have made a lot of mistakes - but I am a good person, and I will persevere.
In the past, I've been a selfish player. I'll definitely admit that.
It's possible to change.
