Vance Johnson's Playbook for Sobriety: A Journey of Faith and Forgiveness

Either you can live in a world of fear or you can live in a world of faith.
Imagine living life in the fast lane, only to find yourself spiraling into addiction. That's exactly what happened to Vance Johnson, a former NFL player who played for the Denver Broncos from 1985 to 1995. In this episode of the 'Addict II Athlete Podcast', Coach Blu Robinson sits down with Vance to discuss his incredible journey from addiction to sobriety.
Growing up without a father figure, Vance turned to the streets for guidance, which eventually led him down a path of broken relationships and substance abuse. His professional athlete lifestyle only fueled this destructive cycle. But everything changed after a spiritual awakening that made Vance draft himself into 'Team Sobriety'. Now, he's on a mission to help others choose their team wisely. Vance shares how forgiveness, faith, and love played crucial roles in his recovery.
He also talks about the importance of building a supportive community, much like the one found in Addict II Athlete. The episode delves into how sports can teach valuable life lessons and serve as a metaphor for overcoming life's challenges. Vance's story is a powerful reminder that it's never too late to turn your life around and make a positive impact on the world.
Whether you're struggling with addiction or supporting someone who is, this episode offers a wealth of inspiration and practical advice.
