Mike Phenix | How I Overcame A Serious Drug & Alcohol Addiction And Turned My Life Around!

I Had Trials Once...

This week Gaz & Jordan are joined by former Telford, Barnsley, Macclesfield, Southport and Salford forward...Mike Phenix
Mike sits down with the boys to discuss everything from his 4 year footballing ban to how he overcame drug and alcohol addiction to turn his life around.Mike then talks openly about his long time battles with addiction, dealing with the loss of his mum at a young age and how his addictions almost cost him his life.
Mike and the boys then speak about getting back into football following his 4 year ban, playing whilst high and the lost dog that saved his life.
The lads then chat about Mike's decision to enter rehab before he honestly explains the moment he relapsed before realising he needed to make a change for his daughter.
Finally they discuss how Mike is currently 10 months sober and the work he is doing to help both current and recovering addicts by talking with them and their families to better understand addiction.
