StribSports Upload: Jeff Dubay talks of addiction, recovery on WCCOFormer KFAN talk-show host Jeff Dubay talked to Chad Hartman of WCCO-AM radio Wednesday afternoon and called the first time he did cocaine one of the "loneliest, darkest places in my life." According to the WCCO website, Dubay said "he was hanging out with people he shouldn't have been and was in an area he didn't belong." Dubay had worked with KFAN's Paul Allen for about 10 years before his addiction led to his firing. After failing drug tests and violating the rules of his probation more than once, Dubay says he has been sober since last year. "Things were too good for me," Dubay told Hartman. "Things were so good and so easy for so long that I was so ill-prepared for personal tragedy. I'll spare the details, but I wound up going through a divorce ... that was particularly difficult." His first arrest came in October 2008, after which Dubay was placed in a year-long diversion program, but he dropped out. In May 2010, Dubay declined to take a court-mandated drug test and acknowledged that he had used cocaine again, an admission that led to him serving almost three months in the Ramsey County workhouse.
