The former Grimsby striker also had to battle depression and suicidal thoughts as well as addiction as his life unravelled.
“It’s the shame and guilt that you get from knowing that you’re doing something that you probably shouldn’t be doing, or living your life in a way that you probably shouldn’t be, coupled with things not going right in your life at the time as well,” he recalled.
“It was coupled with, I’m not playing well, I’m not performing well, I continue to keep getting injured, and my relationships are going wrong in my life.
“The shame and guilt you get from that is enough to drive you to use more.”
After the wake-up call from his agent, Bogle sought help and checked into a rehabilitation unit on 2 July.
He kept it quiet from everyone at the club aside from his chairman Charles Grant and manager Lee Bell, but praised both their support and that of his team-mates on his return.
“My team-mates have been amazing,” Bogle said. “Effectively they’re more than just my team-mates, some of them are really good life friends.”
