Boxer Adrien Broner Regrettably Threatened To Kill Himself Prompting Police To Locate Him



Adrien Broner

Troubled boxer, Adrien Broner, who is battling substance abuse issues, threatened to kill himself this week. Broner posted a photo of a gun and the caption, "I'm going home I love y'all" and shortly after, "3PM I'm doing it I'm sorry to my family and friends but I don't want to be here no more this s**t too much." However, his family and police intervened and then released statements stating they've located Broner and he is okay.


In the July 1, 2016 article Judge Should Order Adrien Broner To Rehab For His Own Good I wrote the boxer needs rehab. Not only is Broner struggling with alcoholism, he is suffering from the effects of knockdowns and blows to the head in the boxing ring, which can create depression (See "head injury" second of article: How To Reap The Benefits Of Boxing While Avoiding The Pitfalls). A good doctor and therapist could assist him with the depression. It does not help that he is being harassed by questionable people outside the boxing industry, who have no business bothering this man. He needs to extricate himself from those situations.

Broner has to keep things in perspective. As stated in previous articles, Broner has a beautiful family. He also has a great boxing career with many wins, several titles and millions in purse money under his belt, pardon the pun. There is so much Broner can do with his life. He cannot allow himself to wallow in depression, as it will bring him misery.  

Something is troubling Broner and he needs to let that thing go, because it is not worth his life. Broner has six children who don't need to be fatherless. Broner also needs to be thankful the assault case against him was resolved and dismissed, as he could have went to prison for years. There is much to be thankful for in his life.

I've stated it before and I will state it again, Broner needd to drop the negative people from his circle. He needs positivity and hope in his midst. He needs strong minded people who are trying to elevate him, not bring him down. And once again, whatever he thinks is so terrible in his life, he needs to let it go and choose to be happy. That's a general rule for everyone. If anything is making you that miserable that you want to die, it is time to reevaluate the situation and let that problem go.
