CW: substance use, addiction
Sam has worked in many restaurants, has beaten Bobby Flay, now owns a meal delivery business, and he is the personal chef for the Carolina Panthers' running back, Christian McCaffrey. Whew! Along with his passion for cooking, he is also very open about substance use.
Sam talks about not being able to outrun his addiction until he learned to surrender. We'll learn what he means by each time he went to rehab he was "humbled, but without humility." He talks about what he saw on the streets and being faced with life or death decisions.
Therapy highlight: What does it mean to surrender and let go? Does it mean giving up? How do I do this?
