There's definitely a clarity in my heart that you know I can't drink like normal people, I just can't.
Ever wondered what it's like to battle addiction while making it big in Hollywood? Meet Mark Gantt, a man who knows this journey all too well. In this episode of 'Sober Friends', Mark opens up about his whirlwind drinking career that came to a crashing halt at just 19. Known for co-creating and starring in Crackle’s award-winning series 'The Bannen Way', Mark’s story is far from your typical Hollywood tale.
Mark dives into how his Higher Power played a pivotal role in his recovery, with interventions that seem almost too incredible to believe. He also shares the other 'drugs' he battled, like the seductive pull of spending money, which led to some serious run-ins with the IRS. But it's not all doom and gloom; Mark's journey is filled with moments of clarity and the unwavering support of loved ones and a sponsor who guided him through the storm.
You'll hear about the significance of the Fourth Step in his recovery and how staying present has been a game-changer for him. Mark’s reflections on the 'monkey mind' and the nature of addiction offer a raw, honest look into the challenges and triumphs of sobriety. Whether you're struggling with addiction yourself or supporting someone who is, Mark's story is a beacon of hope and resilience. Tune in to 'Sober Friends' for an episode that promises to inspire and uplift.
