At one point, every morning Murph told himself he wasn’t going to drink and every night the bottles stacked up. He says that’s why he considers the fact he doesn’t want to drink today a miracle. This guy was a great hoops player but he turned down playing for a major D-1 program because his life was already unmanageable at 19. We’ve got a real alcoholic on our hands, who wears life like a loose shirt now and is family to Pete.

Dr. Dick Chopp’s ability to market his brand as a urologist performing vasectomies earned him incredible success and national recognition, including an appearance on Jimmy Kimmel. His credentials as a doctor span 37 years of practicing as a urologist proceeded by education at USC & Sloane Kettering. But it’s not his decorated career in medicine he’s most proud of, it’s his 15 years of sobriety. Dr. Chopp shares how he got sober, how his life changed from the inside out, and how his ego was smashed on the way to a happy and fulfilled life.

Mark Suppelsa was a fixture in the Chicago scene for more than 25 years in a time when everyone turned to and trusted TV News for information. But in 2012, as an anchor at WGN in the Windy City, he entered rehab to battle his alcohol addiction. Mark says he had no clue about the great life that awaited him on the other side of addiction when he entered rehab one May afternoon almost 10 years ago. He’s an amazing dude who is beyond entertaining.
