Matt Salis lives in Denver, Colorado, with his wife and their four kids. He is a writer, a speaker, a high school soccer coach, an addiction survivor, and an enlightenment explorer (sounds more exciting than an alcoholic in recovery). Matt loves to listen, fight the stigma, get people all wound-up, and be moved to tears. You can read about his alcoholism pre and post sobriety on his blog, and if you are interested in learning about how he navigated early sobriety, check out his program called SHOUT Sobriety.
