OC242 - Former NFL Player Mike Gibson on Recovery From Opioid Addiction

Today my guest is Mike Gibson, a former NFL player currently working at Healthy Life Recovery in San Diego, CA. He shares his story of becoming physically addicted to opioids after a significant injury playing football. We talk about how being a professional athlete made it difficult to relate to others, his resentment toward God, and the spiritual experience that lead him to recovery. 

 

Before we jump in, I wanted to announce that I will be offering a free 12-step workshop for women through my private group. I haven’t taken anyone through the steps since I started coaching full-time, and honestly, I really miss it. It’s completely free; you don’t have to buy any books or attend any meetings if you don’t want to. 

 

It begins early January, and all you have to do is join the Facebook group! Just do a search for “One Day At A Time - Private Women's Group” and I will announce all the details next week!!

 

So without further delay, please enjoy this episode, with Mike!
