In this interview, Chris chats candidly about his journey from skateboarder and rocker to drug addict… then coming out the other side to develop his own brand of spirituality. He is passionate about helping others who struggle with addiction by leading groups in detoxes, yoga, rehabs, youth centers, conferences, etc. He shares his struggles openly and honestly, with a lot of humor, although he doesn’t believe it’s all behind him.
