Because you had a pretty good, was it a 19-year-old or a 20-year-old year in the dub where you scored like 25 goals or something, didn't you?

Yeah, absolutely.

So you progressed from the WHL with a drinking problem.

Yeah.

When did you start getting into the hard crap, the drugs?

Did guys, I mean, you got lots of opportunities here, right?

Yeah.

We're joined by Brent Myers, who has the book again.

And it's quite an amazing story, really.

Just the whole, the opportunities you got as a result of this and how you pulled yourself out of it.

The book is called Painkiller, and we're going to do a mental health event out in Westlock.

coming up on Friday night.

It is 4.46 in Edmonton.

We'll take a timeout.

We'll talk about the conclusion of your career, what you did post-career, how long you've been sober for, and some of the other things that you're involved with right now, and a little about forgiveness, because I think there's a chapter in your book, if I recall correctly, where you talk about it, and it might shed some light on people getting more than one opportunity in life.

This is Oilers Now.

Our guest is Brent Myers.

He's had quite the journey.

I was on the ice for the Portland Winterhawks camp at Mayfield Twins.
