Argentina's former soccer star Diego Maradona admitted on Friday that he still has "nightmares with drugs", addiction disease almost causing his death many times.
"I still have nightmares with drugs. Drugs flood my dreams and I cannot wake up and I see old known faces. When I wake up I hug the first person I see and say good grief it was only a dream," Maradona said.
The 46-year-old recalled his youth in Argentina's south of Buenos Aires Villa Fiorito region: "My youth neighborhood was private. meat private, bread private."
Maradona said this on Friday during the "Informal Mornings" channel-13 program in Buenos Aires.
The key striker of Argentina's World Cup winning team in Mexico-1986 has been hospitalized for long periods on at least five times since January 2000, including for alcoholic and drug abuse.
