Ep. 101 – Greg Provance

In this week’s episode, we learn the story of Greg Provance. Greg battled and overcame alcohol and drug addiction. His addiction took a toll on his life and career. He lost the lead role in the smash-hit Broadway musical Rent because of his addiction. He sought help, overcame his addiction, and has been sober for 19 years. He is a successful restaurant owner and consultant and lives in San Diego with his wife and children.  Key Takeaways  The first step in dealing with addiction is admitting you have a problem. The second step is asking for help.  In order to move on from addiction, you need to accept the truth of what you have lost from addiction and not blame those losses on something else.  Being honest with yourself leads to a life with more profound joy.
