Shaun Weiss: From Hollywood Stardom to Sobriety

One thing that helped me a lot in recovery was they showed us a video where they talked about the hedonic scale. They say it's alcohol and drugs and they are two different things.
Imagine being a beloved child actor, only to find yourself battling addiction years later. In this gripping episode of 'Sobriety Unplugged', hosts Sharon Hartley and Ben Anderson sit down with Shaun Weiss, best known for his role as Greg Goldberg in 'The Mighty Ducks'. Shaun opens up about his early fame, the devastating loss of his mother, and how alcohol became his go-to coping mechanism.
This raw conversation delves into his darkest moments, including hitting rock bottom in a jail cell, and the pivotal turning points that led him towards recovery. Shaun's candid recounting of his struggles and triumphs offers a heartfelt look at the impact of addiction on mental health and the vital role of support systems. Whether you're navigating your own journey or supporting someone else, this episode serves as a poignant reminder that recovery is possible.
Tune in for an honest, moving discussion that shines a light on the path to sobriety.
