Here are excerpts from that interview he recently did :

Scoop: But was it hard to get to that point where you could tell (your life story)? Where you were comfortable even dealing with this publicly?

Walker: Yeah, it was very difficult because I lost a lot of trust in a lot of people. You know, when you are friends with so many people, whether it's professional athletes or other friends, I wasn't so much worried about a phone call, like "Hey, I need some money," I was more worried about, I didn't get the "Hey, 'Toine, you all right?" Because when I was playing, the phone was ringing. I had three cellphones! All of them ringing. So it's disturbing sometimes when that becomes your reality. Look, when you are a giver, you're a giver. You know what I mean? I didn't give to go through this and say to people, "Now it's time to kick back to me." It's about [that phone call], "Man, let me call to check on you to see how you are doing." I know how I would carry it if a friend of mine was in the same situation that I was in. And sometimes in life you have to learn that everybody doesn't care like you. That's the one thing I learned in this process over the last two and a half, three years of going through this. People sometimes just don't care like you do, and you can't expect people to do things the same way or care the same way that you do. And I've learned to download those situations for later on in life.



Also, it would seem that Toine got a job as an analyst :

Walker made sure to point out he didn't lose everything. He still has his health. His kids are healthy. He was recently added as an analyst for 120 Sports, a new multimedia sports company with the backing of Sports Illustrated and Time, Inc. He appears to have landed on his feet.

He looks to have gotten his life back together which makes me happy.  :)
