NFL Hall of Famer Tells Those Battling Addiction During Social Isolation They Are ‘Not in This Alone’

NFL Hall of Famer Joe Namath is reaching out to those battling addiction during social isolation due to the 🦠Coronavirus Outbreak.

Namath appeared on Fox Business Network’s “Varney & Co.” on Thursday where he offered comforting words to people who may be struggling behind closed doors.

The retired NFL quarterback wants people to know they are “not in this alone.”

“We all need help. You’re not in this alone. What you’re going through, please, share it with someone,” Namath said, adding, “Get some help. If you think you can’t, you won’t do it, you know what I’m saying? You think you’re tied into something, you’re addicted to something.”

He continued, “Think bigger, think more outside of just you. You know people love you, you have loves, you can beat this thing.”

The former NFL player continued with words of encouragement for those who may feel helpless during this critical time.

“You can beat the addiction, whatever it is with help, with guidance, with some reinforcement, man,” Namath said. So please share it with somebody, what you’re going through.”
