Claudio Turco García
today is clean of his drug addictions.
But for many years he had a very bad time.
In a very intimate interview with Gastón Pauls for
Free Beings
(Chronicle HD, Friday at 10 p.m.), the ex-footballer told tremendous details about his fight against cocaine.
"The first time I drank was in 2000, I was 37 years old. I started drinking out of curiosity. I felt different, well, in quotation marks, and from there I started buying a one-gram piece of paper and it lasted a month ... later it was one gram a day, and then two, "began the Turk.
Then, the former Racing and Huracán, surprised with a revelation: "In this program I am going to say it, I never said it: because if people see me so I'm fine they will say 'the drug is not so bad, look how good it is "
But I drank a lot. I'm not going to say the grams, but a lot, to die or to get a stroke,
which I was about one day when my head started to buzz and I cut my fingertip and it jumped the blood and there I relaxed a little. "
Claudio Turco García told tremendous details about his fight against cocaine.
Very self-critical, García admits that it was a very dark stage in his life, but that he had no control over himself.
And that was a product of the dominating effect that cocaine had on him.
"I took what was necessary for me to catch anything. I knew but I did not care because you are in Disney, you do not see reality. I became aware when I left, but in full consumption I thought that everything was fine, that nobody noticed, although people were moving away from me, because of me, "he acknowledged.
And then, the former participant of
Masterchef Celebrity
(Telefe), added in another part of the interview: "I never had paranoia like other friends. I have had tachycardia, I have had buzzing, and I threw it, scared. He said 'Virgin, I do not drink anymore 'and then two hours later I was going to buy again because I was better. "
In that sense, García told a surprising detail about what he was able to do for his addiction:
"When he had no more, it was to sweep to lift, he would put everything on the table and drink with hair, with fluff, we would put him with whatever ".
Another of the signs that the Turk noticed that his addictions were taking over his life was when he began to feel the distance with his children:
"Look how sick he was, that instead of enjoying them, he suffered from them.
With Yamil the youngest , I would go to the plaza, or my wife would give me money for the taxi and I would keep it to drink. "
"I would walk with him and while I was rocking him I would look at the time. With ten minutes to go, he was the happiest guy in life, instead of being happy with him. When I left him, they closed the door and it was a relief, he was already consuming" , he assured, hurt by that situation.
On the other hand, Claudio told of the suffering suffered by his partner, Mariela Prieto, his great support: "My wife would make me food, and I would go to the bathroom, she would serve me and eat. I suffered a lot when my wife told us to go to sleep and I couldn't because I had a tachycardia. "
"Instead of staying calm and then going to sleep, as I was alone, I used to use again. I went to sleep when she got up. It was disgusting. The strength she gives me not to use is how bad I had it, the lies he told, "he continued.
Then, he appreciated how important Mariela was, to whom he attributes a large part of the achievement of his recovery: "She was sick like me. She fought a lot for me to leave, because she said 'I want you to be a normal person May you be happy, it can't be that you were a successful soccer player, I want my son to have a normal father. '"She struggled with that, she struggled for 6 or 7 years."
