E103: Gregg Champion faced 5 years in prison. His higher power showed a different way
Episode description
Our guest this week is Gregg Champion who just celebrated 28 years sober. Gregg has a fascinating story you will easily find a way to relate. Gregg believes he was an alcoholic at 4 years old, when his father died in a car accident. Alcoholism was in his family and he coped with fantasy, girls, and giving in to his anger.
When he was a teen, alcohol and drugs came into the picture. Gregg was always looking for a short cut when he could and found one selling drugs. This led to a bust with 50 pounds of pot. Given a pass by the judge, he was immediately busted selling cocaine to an undercover officer.
This bottom led to Gregg's recovery where only the presence of a higher power could explain the chain of events, including the help of a local priest who got him sober, which he continues to be, to this day.
