In this powerful episode of Addicted To Recovery, the hosts sit down with Greg, a close friend and recovering addict, to explore his journey through addiction, trauma, and long-term recovery.

Greg shares how a devastating accident—shattering his heel after a fall—became a turning point in his life. With over a dozen surgeries, chronic pain, and uncertainty about his future, he was forced to slow down and fully commit to recovery. What could have been a breaking point instead became a foundation for growth, resilience, and spiritual connection.

The conversation dives deep into:

  • Navigating recovery through physical pain and injury
  • The mental battle of uncertainty and fear
  • Managing prescribed medication in recovery
  • Building integrity, trust, and self-awareness
  • The realities of long-term sobriety (not perfection, but progress)
  • Finding purpose, peace, and connection in everyday life

Greg also reflects on major life milestones in recovery, including marriage, fatherhood, and rebuilding relationships—proving that transformation is possible with commitment and support.

This episode is an honest, raw, and inspiring look at what it truly means to stay clean, face life head-on, and grow into a better version of yourself.
