I always try to look back on my life and find, try to determine when the wheels came off, like when I no longer had control. Um I where where I, where the wheels came off for me, where I knew I was alcoholic, was in the night before the ironman triathlon.
Picture this: an Emmy-winning journalist with 99 awards under his belt, who has also completed 13 Ironman competitions. Impressive, right? But for John Boel, the number that stands out the most is his nearly 12 years of sobriety. In this episode of 'The Payoff with Pete', John opens up about his journey from the depths of addiction to a fulfilling life in recovery.
After two very public DUIs, John found himself in rehab, a turning point that led him to embrace sobriety. His personal and professional lives were deeply affected by alcoholism, but it was in rehab that he discovered the power of peer support and began to build his true legacy in addiction recovery. John shares candid insights on the pitfalls of grandiosity and euphoric recall, emphasizing the importance of having an exit strategy.
He also talks about finding peace in nature and how it helped him on his path to recovery. This episode isn't just about John's struggles; it's a testament to the resilience and strength needed to overcome addiction. Tune in to hear how John Boel transformed his life and is now helping others do the same.
