Life is about falling down and how you pick yourself back up, and to me that's everything... and it's like I think of people that actually have problems with alcohol actually seek treatment.
Imagine being a top athlete in the NHL, playing 764 games over 12 years, and battling a secret addiction. That's the story of Chris Therien, who gave his all on the ice while struggling with alcoholism behind the scenes. In this episode of 'The Payoff with Pete', Chris opens up about his darkest days, including the tragic loss of his sister and hitting rock bottom in 2006 with a staggering blood alcohol level of 0.63.
Checking into Caron Treatment Center was his turning point. Now, more than a decade sober, Chris is a passionate advocate for addiction recovery and works with Caron to help others find their way out of the darkness. His journey is a powerful reminder that seeking help can lead to a fulfilling life beyond addiction. If you're looking for a story of resilience and hope, Chris Therien's candid conversation with Pete Sousa is one you won't want to miss.
