After losing his father in a drunk driving accident, Gregg felt different. Alcohol and drugs covered up the pain.

In this episode, we have Gregg who opens up about his tragic childhood marked by his father's death in a drunk driving accident and being raised by a single mother. He talks about his struggle with substance abuse, including dealing drugs, and numerous arrests. Eventually, Gregg relays the turning point in his life – an encounter with a priest who introduced him to a different way of living, which became the foundation of his recovery journey. Gregg highlights the importance of sobriety, recovery, and wellness in his life, discussing how he started the recovery program, Startup Recovery, as well as his realization about the need to work on himself and 'grow up' to be a good father and husband. With 29 years of sobriety, this is Gregg Champion’s story on the Sober Motivation podcast.
