Greg's alcoholic and addictive behavior manifested in ways before it manifested in alcohol. In his early 30's the drinking began and he got sober at 39.
Greg drank throughout college but for him, he never felt comfortable in his own skin. He never felt comfortable in his own skin, so he would seek validation through different ways. Early on it was steroids and the gym, then it was needed to get a 4.0 in school. And then the alcohol and drugs came into play. Once substances were in his body, he felt "normal."
For him, he had to lose everything. He had the gift of desperation, which led him to recovery.
