Just shows you, addiction doesn't discriminate...I say sometimes that I quit Every Day for a year, like I knew it was wrong.
Imagine being on the brink of a promising hockey career, only to find yourself grappling with addiction. That's the story of Jamie McGuire, who joins Mark and Dave in this episode of 'Off the Rails Recovery'. Jamie's journey is anything but typical. Drafted by the London Knights and having played Tier 2 Junior hockey, he seemed destined for greatness. But addiction doesn't discriminate, and Jamie's struggle began despite his achievements on the ice and in academia.
Now, as the Lifestyle and Addiction Coach for the Arizona Coyotes, Jamie dedicates his life to educating others about alcoholism and breaking the stigma that surrounds it. He's also a public speaker who has reached audiences across Canada and the US, including over 50 NCAA programs. In this heartfelt conversation, Jamie opens up about his battle with addiction, the daily struggle to stay sober, and the importance of a solid support system.
He talks about the fear of leaving treatment and re-entering the real world, and how he found new ways to socialize without alcohol. This episode isn't just a story of recovery; it's a testament to resilience and the power of community. Tune in to hear Jamie's inspiring tale and gain valuable insights into overcoming addiction.
