I got to hear Jeff Bagwell speak about his sobriety, and his story really hit home with me.
After years of struggling with alcohol, multiple interventions, rehab attempts, and relapses, Jeff finally reached his turning point. He took his last drink before Game 7 of the 2017 ALCS—the night the Astros beat the Yankees and punched their ticket to the World Series. He hasn’t had a drink since.
One thing he said really stuck with me:
“Getting sober is a hell of a lot harder than it was to make the Hall of Fame.”
That says everything.
We may come from completely different walks of life, but addiction doesn’t care who you are, what you’ve accomplished, or how much money you have.
But God does!
