I was an alcoholic before I even took my first drink, and the reason why I can say that is my father was killed in a drunk on drunk car crash when I was Four Years Old, and I immediately felt different.
Ever wondered how someone can turn their life around after hitting rock bottom? Meet Gregg Champion, who faced the terrifying prospect of five years in prison but found a path to sobriety instead. On this episode of the Sober Friends Podcast, hosts Matt and Steve sit down with Gregg to explore his incredible journey of transformation. From a childhood marked by loss and a family history of alcoholism, Gregg's story is one of grappling with addiction from a young age.
His father died in a car accident when Gregg was just four, setting off a chain of events that led him down a dark path. By his teenage years, drugs and alcohol had become his coping mechanisms, eventually landing him in serious legal trouble. Gregg's turning point came when he was caught selling drugs to an undercover officer. Facing a long prison sentence, he had to make a choice: continue down a destructive path or seek help.
With the support of a local priest and a newfound higher power, Gregg chose recovery. Now celebrating 28 years of sobriety, he shares his insights on the importance of community support, the value of men's meetings, and listening to the experiences of women in recovery. His story underscores the power of resilience and the importance of addressing character defects in the journey to sobriety.
Tune in to hear Gregg's emotional and powerful story, which serves as a beacon of hope for anyone struggling with addiction.
