Nothing surprises me in sobriety, right? But I'll tell you, when I was watching the HBO real sports, where they featured Jayson Williams and Rebound, and you appeared on the screen, I was surprised.
Mike Gminski, a name synonymous with basketball excellence, takes us on a riveting journey through the highs and lows of his life. Known for his stellar career at Duke and a 14-year run in the NBA, Gminski's story is far from just about sports. After facing some tough personal battles, he turned to alcohol and drugs as a coping mechanism.
By July 2020, he found himself in dire straits, consuming a fifth of vodka daily and relying on Xanax for panic attacks. His turning point came when his son and ex-wife drove him to the Rebound Institute in Florida, run by former teammate Jayson Williams. There, Gminski learned to reclaim his life and sobriety. Now, he shares his compelling story with Pete Sousa, reflecting on his career, his struggles with addiction, and his new role at Rebound.
This episode is a raw and honest conversation about nearly losing it all and finding a way back to live his best life. If you're looking for a tale of resilience and transformation, Mike Gminski's journey will leave you inspired.
