Packers legend recalls the time in drug usage and rehab

Brett Favre is long gone from the NFL. However, he depended on pain relievers throughout the peak of his career. Favre mentioned to CBS Sports he was taking 15 Vicodin ES every night and during the day. Favre became addicted to it because it kept him awake. He used to stay up all night and never sleep.

But eventually, the veteran cut the usage and went into drug rehab three times. In 1997, he did not consume any painkiller dosage. The Ex-Packers QB now advocates the usage of CBD and extends to develop an addiction-free atmosphere.
