\n Ben Roethlisberger opened up over the weekend about past missteps, revealing he\u2019s struggled with addictions to alcohol and pornography.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019ve fallen as short as anybody,\u201d the Steelers quarterback said during the virtual ManUp Pittsburgh event, per ESPN. \u201cI\u2019ve been addicted to alcohol. I\u2019ve been addicted to pornography, which makes me then not the best husband, not the best father, not the best Christian I can be.\u201d<\/p>\n

Married to wife Ashley Harlan for nearly a decade, Roethlisberger \u2014 who is a father of three \u2014 added that being a professional athlete doesn\u2019t make him immune to transgressions.<\/p>\n

\u201cPeople don\u2019t realize all the time that us athletes, we\u2019re human. We sin like everybody else. I am no different. We make mistakes. We get addicted to things. We sin. We\u2019re human. I think sometimes we get put on this pedestal where we can\u2019t make mistakes,\u201d the 38-year-old quarterback stated.<\/p>\n

In April 2010, Roethlisberger was suspended for the first six game<\/a>s of the season for violating the NFL\u2019s personal conduct policy in the wake of sexual misconduct allegations. The quarterback was instructed to undergo a \u201ccomprehensive behavioral evaluation.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cOne of the things I want to tell guys and tell people out there, I can be a really good athlete and a Christian. It\u2019s not one or the other. I can do both,\u201d the quarterback said.<\/p>\n

\u201cI want it to be known to all of the young men out there. It\u2019s cool to be Christian and be an athlete. Go ahead and be the best athlete you can be and see if you can be a better Christian. And that\u2019s what I\u2019m trying to do now. I\u2019m trying to be a better Christian than I am athlete and football player. I push myself every day to do that, and it starts here. It\u2019s not always easy,\u201d he continued.<\/p>\n

Roethlisberger talked about the challenging 2019 offseason the Steelers faced. Though Roethlisberger did not mention any specific incidents, his end-of-season feud with Antonio Brown was a constant storyline during the receiver\u2019s controversial departure from the franchise.<\/p>\n

\u201cAll I thought about was getting back on the football field, and I was like, \u2018God, you\u2019re going to give me all this redemption. I\u2019m going to go out there, I\u2019m going to prove everybody wrong, I\u2019m going to win a Super Bowl, and we\u2019re going to give you all the glory, and this is it. This is my comeback year.\u2019 And the second game, I tear my elbow. That was God being like, \u2018Hold on, it\u2019s not your plan of coming back. It\u2019s got to be my plan,’\u201d Roethlisberger explained.<\/p>\n

He added, \u201cI don\u2019t know that I would\u2019ve been able to handle it a few years ago, five, six, seven, 10 years ago. I know that my faith wouldn\u2019t have been as strong. Now that I know what it\u2019s about, it\u2019s easy to say, \u2018Hey, God, this is in your hands.’\u201d\n <\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
