Late last year, he spoke about his struggles with addiction in a Q&A with students and those in recovery at the University of Alabama’s VitAL health conference.
He indicated during the conference that alcohol no longer had a place in his life. He also indicated the experience taught him a new way to manage any potential future success. He surrounded himself with consultants who pushed back on him when necessary. He said he learned that from having too much unanimous support from those around him in the past.

“I started to develop and have a lot of yes men around me,” Manziel said. “I think at the head of that group of influences was myself, and managing success now is not a solo thing. You need to have a support system and lean on things in your life.”
