One of the things that I've gained with sobriety is I care a lot more about other people. In my opinion, at least in my addiction, it's a very selfish thing that you do because you're thinking of yourself all the time. And now that I don't have that monkey on my back, I care more about other people.
Ever wondered how someone can juggle a high-profile career while battling addiction? Meet Randall Carlisle, a former TV news anchor who opens up about his decades-long struggle with alcohol. In this episode of Project Recovery, Randall sits down with Casey Scott and Dr. Matt Woolley to share his compelling story. From his early days on Utah's Channel 2 and Channel 4 to his retirement in 2017, Randall's life seemed picture-perfect on the outside.
But behind the scenes, he was fighting a private war with alcohol that lasted nearly 50 years. Randall candidly discusses how the pressures of being in the public eye contributed to his reliance on alcohol as a coping mechanism. His journey sheds light on the often-hidden struggles faced by those in the limelight and challenges the stereotype that addiction only affects certain types of people.
Randall's story is a powerful reminder that addiction can touch anyone, regardless of their social status or career success. After retiring, Randall found a new purpose working with Odyssey House Treatment Center, where he now helps others navigate their own paths to sobriety. His commitment to giving back underscores the transformative power of recovery and the importance of community support.
Randall's experiences offer hope and inspiration for anyone grappling with addiction, proving that it's never too late to turn your life around. Tune in to hear Randall Carlisle's honest and heartfelt account of his battle with alcohol, his road to recovery, and his mission to help others find their way to a sober and fulfilling life.
