Lex Luger's confessions of a drug-abuse survivor

[hagansp]

"If you snort it, spray it, shoot it, inject it, I did it, buddy. Or I was around it. That was my life. Alcohol? I abused it all, buddy. I took a lot of pills. I was a pill popper."

-- Lex Luger, aka "The Total Package"

That is what is so sad about alot of the former wrestlers, alot of them were addicted to painkillers due to the years of abuse to their bodies, then when you mix alcohol with them you get a deadly combination..

If you look at what caused the deaths of alot of the former wrestlers who have died it had to do with some type of painkiller, or other drug..

Thanks Ed

Not to mention....Miss Elizabeth (Macho Man's Former wife/manager) also died at Lex Luger's house under suspicious circumstances during their relationship. To the point Luger was questioned several times about her death. Sad to see so many of them die to abuse of drugs and alcohol. But like so many of them say, "thats the business we're in"

Yeah, in the article it talks about police finding huge amounts of painkillers, steroids, and other prescription drugs in their apartment after she died. It makes me wonder how many athletes in all sports are doing this type of thing. You've got to know its a huge amount.
