Episode 22: When Addiction Becomes the Gateway to Purpose | Doug Lyons
In Episode 22 of the 365 Proof Podcast by Defining Wellness, Daniel Phyfer and Courtney Milan sit down with longtime behavioral health leader and Clere Consulting co-founder Doug Lyons.
With more than 35 years in the addiction treatment field and decades of personal recovery, Doug shares how his own addiction ultimately became the gateway to a life of purpose. The conversation explores mentorship, family systems, generational patterns, long-term recovery, the evolution of addiction treatment, and why getting sober is only the beginning.
Doug also shares the practices that keep him grounded today and the powerful lesson he learned early in recovery: stay right-sized, remain teachable, and use your experience to help others.
