Swimmer Michael Phelps recently sat down for an interview with Sports Illustrated where he opened up about his sobriety. The magazine quotes him as follows:
On his second DUI arrest in September 2014:
“It’s probably the most afraid I’ve ever felt in my life.
On the 2008 Olympics:
"Mentally, I was over. I didn’t want to do it anymore. I forced myself to do something that I really didn’t want to do anymore. I was in a really dark place, not wanting to be alive anymore. I look back now, I lived in a bubble for a long time. I wound up uncovering a lot of things about myself. . . I saw myself as the athlete that I was, but not as a human being.
On his sobriety:
“Haven’t had a single sip and will not have a sip. I worked, recovered, slept, and took care of myself more than I ever had.”
