Millions and millions of people suffer from this, that it is a disease. And that all the willpower and all of the thought that you think you have to be able to combat this is not enough and that there is a solution out there for this that is rooted in the we people, the fellowship.
Ever felt like you don't quite fit in, no matter what you achieve? Greg's story is one many can relate to. From using steroids and obsessing over grades to drowning his discomfort in alcohol, Greg's search for validation led him down a dark path. By his early 30s, drinking had taken over, and it wasn't until he hit rock bottom at 39 that he found the strength to turn his life around.
In this episode of 'Remember Your Why', host Kristen sits down with Greg to unpack his journey from self-doubt and addiction to recovery and self-acceptance. Through the lens of humility and gratitude, Greg shares how the 12-step program of Alcoholics Anonymous helped him rebuild his life. He discovered that true happiness comes not from external achievements but from within and through helping others. Greg's transformation is a powerful reminder that recovery is possible, no matter how far you've fallen.
Tune in to hear how he found peace and freedom by learning to love himself and serve others.
