Gerry Cooney: From Boxing Glory to Battling Addiction and Finding Recovery

I have Three Years Today without a drink. No, you do so much, you know, but it's not work.
Step into the ring with Gerry Cooney, a boxing legend whose life outside the ropes is just as compelling as his career inside them. In this episode of Steppin' Out Radio, Cooney opens up about his tumultuous journey from an abused childhood to becoming a two-time Golden Gloves champion, and eventually confronting his alcohol addiction.
His new book, 'Gentleman Gerry: A Contender in the Ring', is more than just a sports biography; it’s a raw and honest account of overcoming life's toughest battles. Cooney doesn't shy away from discussing the dark moments, but he also shares the strategies that helped him reclaim his life. From the power of prayer to the importance of self-love, his story is a testament to resilience and hope.
If you're looking for inspiration on how to face your own challenges, or if you're simply a fan of boxing history, this episode offers a rich tapestry of insights and experiences.
