Ex-Yankees, Mets star Darryl Strawberry’s powerful call for sobriety during coronavirus pandemic

Advice from a Slugger… –

April 6, 2020 – The slugger-turned-St. Louis pastor shared a message for those struggling to stay sober during the coronaviruspandemic, per Newsday.

“I think so many people are on the edge of going to drinking and going to drugging to escape,” Strawberry said. “And I can tell you right now: It will not help you. It will not change the situation. What changes the situation is you inside when you make the right decision.

“Those of us who have been on the journey and have been in a good place for a long time, we have a lot more advice to give you. I changed the course of my life as far as people, places and things and went into a different direction.”
