In this episode I'm joined by Brice Hancock from Mile High Sober Living in Colorado.

We discuss his personal struggles with addiction and how the grip of substances like alcohol, heroine, crack and others held on to him and took him to within an inch of his life. Somehow, perhaps by the grace of the gods, he was able to transform from that underworld experience and return to life. In doing so he dedicated himself to paying that new chance at life forward to those in need by setting up safe housing for addicts in his home of Denver, Colorado.

Along the way we delve into the mystery of addiction. Why is it that it affects some but not others, even in the same family? What are we really reaching for when we grasp for the substance we're addicted to? What is that spiritual force that seems to swoop down to lift us up right at that rock bottom moment? And why is it that the naming of that force (God) is itself such a barrier to entry to Alcoholics Anonymous and other such programs?

From Brice's Bio:

Brice is the executive director for Mile High Sober Living and an active member of Denver’s sober community. He believes that life is about “things to do and people to do them with”. Brice regularly exercises and goes to the gym, he plays guitar, likes music, art, spirituality, constant self-improvement, and spending time with his son. In a previous life, he owned a live music bar and was surrounded by active alcoholism and addiction and now is surrounded by recovery. He is a realtor and the president of a 501c3 non-profit called Musicians Recovery Project which raises money for treatment for those with limited resources in early recovery.
