You know, and I'll tell you it all kind of kicked off after I got the sober coaching classes with yourself, after being sober for A Few Years. People love their players, they love their colors, they love their team and you're an entertainer. And once we're there, we're so inundated with self that we lose the fact that we can use that ability and that power to really influence the people who watch us, and that's mainly children.
What happens when a former NFL star faces the toughest opponent of his life? In this episode of 'Unpause Your Life', Vance Johnson, the renowned Denver Broncos wide receiver, opens up about his battle with addiction and the path he took to reclaim his life. Co-hosted by Dr. Cali Estes and Master Coach Jenny Fontana, this episode dives deep into Johnson's transition from the glitz of professional football to the grit of recovery coaching.
Johnson's story is a compelling blend of athletic triumphs and personal struggles. Known for his remarkable performance on the field, including three Super Bowl appearances and an impressive track record as a long jumper, Johnson's life off the field was marred by addiction. He candidly shares how his substance abuse affected his relationships and nearly derailed his career. But this isn't just a tale of downfall; it's a powerful narrative of redemption.
Johnson highlights the pivotal role that finding a higher purpose played in his recovery. He discusses the importance of working with sober coaches and how these relationships were crucial in his journey to sobriety. Now, as one of the leading recovery coaches in the country, Johnson uses his experience to guide others through their own battles with addiction. This episode also sheds light on Johnson's collaborative efforts with mayors and Governor Christie to support inner-city recovery programs.
His work is not just about personal healing but extends to community upliftment, emphasizing that recovery is a collective effort. If you're looking for a story that combines inspiration with actionable advice, this episode is a must-listen. Johnson's message is clear: with determination and the right support, anyone can turn their life around.
