Tony Romo is candidly sharing insight into a different part of his post-career chapter.
The former Dallas Cowboys quarterback also shared a look at what his life has been like since leaving the NFL, and how injuries led him to using substances to cope.
“Multiple back surgeries ended my career earlier than I expected and left me with constant, debilitating pain,” he explained. “That pain led to a dependence on pain medication, and my efforts to get off those medications led to an over-reliance on alcohol.”
Romo—who shares three sons wife Candice Crawford—is looking to the future with optimism.
