12 Years Sober: The Man I Used to Be Wouldn’t Recognize Me

Twelve years sober. In Episode 19, Scottie looks back on the end of the professional golf season, another summer at The Conk, sending Alex and Hayley back to college, Gwen beginning her senior year—and the life lessons golf continues to teach him. But at the heart of this episode is September 1, 2014: the day Scott made the decision to get sober. Twelve years later, he reflects on the relationships, faith, marriage, discipline, habits and opportunities that have grown from that decision—and why sobriety remains the foundation that makes everything else in his life possible. Scott also shares how disappointment over the past year ultimately helped lead to Links & Lifestyle, the launch of this podcast, a deeper relationship with Jesus, and a renewed commitment to becoming a better husband, father and man. Plus: this week’s Win, Challenge and Bible Verse—Colossians 3:23–24. “The person you are today, the person you were in the past would not recognize.” Purpose Driven.
