In this episode, I catch up with an old friend, Danny Dwyer. We dive deep into how he went from addicted to heroin and homeless for four years, to now being sober for 10+ years. We talk about how he got started with drugs when he was 8 years old, the progression, getting kicked off the Boston Police Department for buying heroin, to eventually overdosing 2 times. Then we dive into the man he is today, how he got clean, his two amazing sons, Danny and Luke, and the "hero" work he now does.
In this episode, I talk about how I drank my first six pack of beer in the 7th grade, how that led to blacking out 2-3 nights a week throughout high school and getting kicked off the high school football team, and then onto college where I was blacking out sometimes 5 nights a week and eventually hitting rock bottom and getting drunk for the last time in Mardi Gras with a group of college friends. After that, my healing journey began with a dedicated yoga practice, intense therapy and a spiritual path that I fell in love with. Eventually, I began living the life I now have and loving it. Now I'm spending every day, doing what I want, when I want, with who I want.
