Dora Gosselin interviews me on her Soberoso Podcast. We discussed how I recognized my problem with alcohol and the deep denial I experienced. I credit my coach, Kevin Lawrence, for helping me admit his drinking problem and guiding me towards 12-step recovery. We both emphasize the importance of personal growth and the ongoing work required to stay sober, especially doing the work of the 12 steps. I also talk about the challenges of being a perfectionist and the need to find balance in life. If you are stuck on an issue, in business, life, or addiction, remember that I offer a free coaching session to anyone in need, whether it’s related to business, life, or addiction. Many thanks to Dora for having me on her podcast and all she does to help people in recovery. (more…)
