Sometimes when I need a bit of motivation I will dive into the youtube wormhole of sober celeb interviews and other videos. Kind of nice to get the perspective of people who are vocal about sobriety you wouldn’t necessarily expect. I really enjoy Theo Von, Steve-O and Craig Fergusons takes on living a sober life.
Who do you look to for sober inspiration in terms of famous people?
Jamie Lee Curtis and RDJ, for sure! And then there’s J-Lo. She was never in recovery, just doesn’t drink because it’s unhealthy and bad for the skin. Be J-Lo!
How could I forget?
Darren Waller and Maxx Crosby. TE and DE, respecively, for the Raiders.
Waller nearly lost his career in its infancy to drugs/alcohol. Sober a few years now and is a top-3 TE in the NFL.
Crosby saw what Waller did and made similar changes in his own life after realizing his own issue with drink. He is currently one of the top defensive players in the NFL this year.
Thrilled they are Raiders. Thrilled to see two very young men making such brave, mature decisions in their lives. Thrilled they are willing to share their struggles.
