Yes they do - at least he is trying to get over them
May they run with the wind

"Preakness weekend I celebrated so hard I don't even remember Sunday night. That's when I decided, 'This is too much.' That was in Baltimore," says Kent Desormeaux. "I made a phone call. I said, 'I gotta stop.' Not slow down. I tried that. I've been trying that for 15 years."

Good for him.

It is a tough step to take. I think we all know family or friends who have been there. And it does not get any easier.
