And instead of having people in my life that feed me pills and drugs and alcohol and convince me that it's okay to take them, I have people in my life who say: you do not need those things, you do not need those things to be who you are.

Whether you're an athlete, a sports fan, or someone touched by addiction, this episode offers valuable insights into the intersection of addiction and professional sports.
