The Art of Tough Transitions with George Kalantzis

Like many people who have struggled with addiction, George started to experiment with alcohol and drugs in his early teens.

During his senior year of high school, he watched as his friends got accepted to college, but he didn't have any plans for his future.

That all changed when he woke up hungover one morning with a Marine enlistment card in his pocket.

George's life would completely change during his time in the service.

He would soon get deployed to Iraq, where he experienced several traumatic events, including watching his best friend get killed.

"Rather than face those feelings, I turned toward addiction."

His drinking began to increase again, and it wasn't long until he was facing legal repercussions.

The years of trying to ignore the pain experienced eventually erupted into contemplating suicide.

As he sat in his car with a gun to his head, George reached out for help.

He entered therapy and began to seek the guidance of mentors who have helped him to work through his trauma and start living a happy, substance-free life.

Today George is almost 2 years sober.

He's a writer and coach that helps people navigate the toughest days of their lives through his program called the Art of Tough Transitions.
