Former NBA Player and Current Coach Doug Overton

from The Payoff - Stories of Sobriety

Doug Overton scratched and clawed his way to 12 seasons playing in the NBA, followed by a career coaching with the Sixers and Nets. But at 46 years old he took a season off to spend time back at home, while his daughter finished up her final year of high school. That's when Doug smoked his first joint. What followed was six years of abuse, denial, and a couple of highly publicized run-ins with police. Then, a guy who had willed his way to incredible success surrendered and started to win again. He spent several months in treatment and now, after more than two years off drugs and alcohol, he's doing what he loves again. Hearing how Doug got his life back and is giving back once again is an inspirational tale you've got to listen to.https://synergyhouses.comhttps://www.caron.org Learn more about your ad choices.
