Episode 96: Randy Grimes, Addiction Awareness

Today I welcome Randy Grimes. Randy was an NFL player with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers for ten years; while playing for the Buccaneers and to treat his football-related injuries, Randy considered painkillers to be a "necessary evil". Upon Randy’s retirement from the NFL, he spent the next 20 years in the depths of addiction - losing friends, homes and almost his wife Lydia. Lydia stood by him throughout and finally got him into a treatment program that worked for Randy. Now they are giving back through their non-profit, Pro Athletes in Recovery.
