#141: Randy Grimes - Tackling the Stigma of Addiction and Mental Illness

"I want everyone to know it's okay to not be okay. But you've got to raise your hand and ask for help." -Randy Grimes

WOW! An epic interview with Randy Grimes talking about his journey from NFL "Man of the Year" to living in an abandoned house with no utilities. We discuss his intention for writing his book. As well as importance of a supportive family and friends to help addicts overcome the disease of addiction and mental illness. And how to facilitate, prepare, and lay the groundwork for a successful intervention.

Randy is a ten-year veteran of the NFL, an addiction interventionist, and founder of Professional Athletes in Recovery. He is the author of the book, "Off Center - A Memoir of Addiction, Recovery, and Redemption in Professional Football."
