Thomas 'Hollywood' Henderson: From Gridiron Glory to Sobriety and Beyond

The truth to you- the accountability and recovery if you want it- is that you don't like what that stuff does to you, what the alcohol, the drugs, the cocaine, the heroin, the opioids.
Picture this: you're one of the NFL's brightest stars, playing for the Dallas Cowboys, making the Pro Bowl, and winning Super Bowls. But behind the scenes, your life is spiraling out of control due to addiction. This is the compelling story of Thomas 'Hollywood' Henderson. In this episode of 'The Payoff with Pete', Henderson opens up about his meteoric rise in football, his battle with cocaine addiction, and his incredible journey to almost 40 years of sobriety.
From partying with legends like Richard Pryor and Marvin Gaye to hitting rock bottom with crack addiction and legal troubles, Henderson's life has been a rollercoaster. Yet, his story doesn't end there. He shares how accountability and taking responsibility for his actions became the cornerstones of his recovery. Now, he's not just surviving; he's thriving and helping others do the same. This episode isn't just about football or addiction; it's about redemption, resilience, and the power of change.
If you're looking for a story that combines raw honesty with inspiration, this one's for you.
