Addiction Was The Downfall for ex-NBA player Chris Herren, and His Comeback is Giving Back

HE GETS THE ASSIST! –

March 20, 2023 – Herren said the most common question he hears from students is, “How do I help someone that I care about?”

“Kids are looking for some info. on how to intervene in somebody’s life,” he said. “It’s at every school. You want them to reach out for resources at school.”

Herren’s story is full of broken promises and lost opportunities as well as wise advice and ominous warnings he ignored, always choosing his addiction over everything and everyone else in his life. At age 10, when his mom first threatened to leave his alcoholic father, he made a promise that still haunts him.

“I said to her, if you’re going to leave my dad, please take me with you,” Herren said. “I don’t care where we go. I want to be with you. And I want you to know something, mom, if you take me, you’ll never have to worry about me, I promise you.
