Yeah, I would say to anyone who thinks they're going to help him, there's only one person that's helping Tiger.

That's him.

But it has to come from within.

It's a recovery saying, but you just get sick and tired of feeling sick and tired.

He's got a bad deal in that he's got a lot of injuries.

But for what it's worth, he's obviously abusing drugs.

But I'm sure he's telling himself he needs them.

But...

I think that he's not as deep in a hole as others would think.

Like, if you're walking around with two single pills in your pocket, like, that isn't like an addiction that you're like, oh, my God.

Like, if he had 50 fentanyl pills, I'd be like, yeah, he's deep in this.

But two pills, like, I mean, that's...

For a drug addict, that ain't going to move the needle.

Right, but if he took eight and he had 10, he would have taken them all.

So that's what I'm thinking is that if he's carrying around two, he probably thinks two will offer some relief.

It might not be that deep and it can be fixed.

There's only one way to do this, and that's to walk through the fire, or you're just going to keep burning slowly.

Getting sober was the hardest thing I've ever done in my life.

Nothing in the book even comes close, including my childhood, to dealing with that addiction.

Your brain is so conditioned to want and need this that you can't.
