Simon Kozak is a husband, father, grandfather, friend, athlete, former advertising guru, award winning marketer… and he is sober. Click on the links below to watch or listen to Simon’s Sobriety Chat. He talks about his powerful turning point with booze, how recovery is a selfish act (and that’s OK!), the power of lived experience and peer support, and the parallels between running and recovery. The running recovery organisation Simon talks about is Speed Freaks. And he works at Ember Korowai Takitini.
