Ep227 Addiction Almost Killed Me- Matt Grace

He survived what should have killed him… and now he’s teaching others how to reclaim their lives. In this powerful episode, we sit down with Matt Grace — author of God Doesn’t Relapse, national speaker, and transformational recovery expert with over 20 years of sobriety. With a Bachelor’s in Addiction Studies, a focus in Integrative Healing, and more than 10,000 hours mentoring individuals and families, Matt has become a trusted guide for people from every walk of life. From Manhattan boardrooms and Palm Beach estates to church basements, recovery homes, and prison programs in Michigan, Matt’s mission is the same everywhere he goes: break the lies of addiction and help people rebuild their lives from the inside out. As the founder of Saving Grace, Matt helps families heal deep-rooted patterns of pain, trauma, and broken relationships — no matter their background. His story — from nearly losing his life to addiction to discovering that service was his path to freedom — fuels everything he teaches today. In this interview, Matt shares: • His journey from addiction to long term sobriety • Why service became his higher power • How families can stop enabling and start healing • What it really takes to stay sober when the spotlight fades • Why recovery must reach across class, culture, and community Matt has spoken to thousands of people, mentored those with significant means and those who feel forgotten, and continues to prove that rock bottom isn’t the end — it’s the beginning. If you or someone you love is battling addiction, this conversation offers hope, honesty, and a roadmap toward real transformation. Matt's website: https://mattgrace.com/
