Episode 20 of The Jim Rome Podcast is here with former NBA guard and current motivational speaker Chris Herren. Chris opens up about his harrowing story of life with addiction. He not only talks about his own story but shares why it's important to focus on where addiction starts rather than the end goal. He also talks about the "why?" of addiction, how parenting can impact early addiction, how his wife gave up her entire life for him, what the turning point was for him to go sober, and why August 1st is his favorite day of the year.
