Today’s episode of Always Evolving With Coach Mike Bayer is an insightful look at white-collar drug addiction and one man’s amazing road to recovery. For more than 15 years, Dan Peres held the coveted editor-in-chief position at Details, one of the hippest men’s lifestyle and fashion magazines in the world. In his new book, As Needed for Pain: A Memoir of Addiction, Dan discusses his tenure at Details, while grappling with a toxic opioid addiction, consuming seven years of his life. Dan describes his outwardly glamorous life, surrounded by celebrities, legendary fashion designers and obscene displays of wealth, while inwardly suffering from massive insecurity, with a job he didn’t think he deserved, that was only quelled by popping copious amounts of pills daily. In this podcast, Dan inspires hope and a path forward to anyone struggling with addiction. He believes his 12-step recovery program was the key to saving this life; finding happiness, being a present and sober dad and resuming his career as a dedicated journalist.
