Today Jeannine and Nate interview one time MLB draft pick, addict in recovery and current motivational speaker and author, Beau Payne. Beau was a talented baseball player whose alcohol and drug abuse consistently sabotaged his dreams of a career as a professional athlete. After seven DUIs and multiple prison terms, Beau was able to achieve six years of sobriety. Just weeks before this interview, Beau relapsed on IV meth use and fentanyl. At 35 days sober the day of the interview, Beau’s recounting of his quick yet incredibly intense and damaging relapse serves as an important cautionary tale for all in recovery.
