Every time I thought I hit a bottom, there was a lower bottom right, and I was so productive in work and everything that that a lot of people were not intentionally but enabling me to not confront it.
Ever wondered what it takes for a sports super agent to hit rock bottom and climb back up? Leigh Steinberg, often credited as the inspiration behind the movie 'Jerry Maguire', opens up about his incredible journey to sobriety in this episode of 'The Payoff with Pete'. While he's known for representing sports legends like Troy Aikman and Pat Mahomes, Leigh's story goes far beyond the glitz and glamour of professional sports.
Instead of focusing on his star-studded career, Leigh dives into his decade-long battle with addiction and the steps he took to reclaim his life. From his childhood days mingling with celebrities at his grandfather's country club to his struggles with alcohol that nearly cost him everything, Leigh's candid account is both heart-wrenching and inspiring. After hitting rock bottom, shutting down his business, and moving back in with his parents, Leigh found solace and strength in sobriety groups.
He emphasizes the importance of community and daily practices in maintaining sobriety, proving that no matter how high you climb, the fall can be just as steep. Leigh's story is a powerful reminder that recovery is possible with the right support and mindset. This episode is a must-listen for anyone grappling with addiction or seeking hope on their own path to sobriety.
