Chris Greer, Licensed Clinical Social Worker, joins Ken for a conversation about redemption, recovery and living well. Ken and Chris's friendship began over a decade ago in a small town in California's Central Valley where Ken was interim pastor in a local church. About 5 years after Chris suffered a serious auto accident at age eighteen. Chris shared the harrowing story of an addiction to pain killers (OxyContin), alcohol and other drugs with Ken. It was a Sunday afternoon lunch that led to several years of therapy, recovery and rehab that Ken and Chris, in many ways, walked through together. Chris shares openly both the progress and the set-backs. With lots of support, starting with just a few community college credits, Chris went on to complete a Bachelors Degree in Psychology and then earned admittance to the Master of Social Work at the University of Southern California (USC). He completed the program, graduating and then completing the thousands of supervised hours, passing the exams to become a licensed therapist. Along the way, he met and married Jennifer. Every year, Chris calls Ken in October to report the anniversary of his sobriety - this year, number ten. Today, Chris has a full calendar in private practice helping others find that redemption, recovery, and living well. Show Notes: https://thebeachedwhitemale.com/chris_greer/
