And man, every time I go to synergy and I walk through that door, it it, you know, I feel like I'm part of a team, you know, with Timmy and Eric and those guys, Eric B, I mean, you know, you know, you go way back with those guys and timmy, and it's like it's a team, right, you know. And it's like you feel, like you feel that same.
Doug Overton's life reads like a rollercoaster of triumphs and trials. From clawing his way into the NBA and playing 12 stellar seasons to coaching for the Sixers and Nets, Doug's career was nothing short of impressive. But life took a sharp turn when, at 46, he smoked his first joint. What followed was six years of substance abuse, denial, and a couple of highly publicized encounters with the police.
In this episode of 'The Payoff with Pete', Doug opens up about his fall from grace and his inspiring journey back to sobriety. After spending several months in treatment, Doug has now been clean for over two years and is back doing what he loves. His story isn't just about personal recovery; it also highlights the role of community support and teamwork in overcoming addiction.
Whether you're battling addiction yourself or supporting someone who is, Doug's tale offers hope and practical advice for navigating the rocky path to sobriety.
