Tony Mandarich shares his deep and inspiring story of drinking his way out of the NFL in three short years only to find recovery and return to professional football sober and steroid free as a powerful living amends to himself and the game that once consumed his every day.

The number two overall pick in the 1989 draft, Tony was considered one of the best offensive lineman to play the college game. What he didn’t want you to know was that he was on a regular regimen of steroids as a way to improve his performance at Michigan State and began drinking more heavily to blot out the pain of his struggles. His book, My Dirty Little Secrets, chronicles his powerful journey and was instrumental to host Charlie Smith in his early sobriety. Listen as the two sit down to share a conversation about pain, addiction, recovery and hope. Check out Tony’s
