He made his way out of a decades-long battle with depression, alcoholism, and suicidal ideation. In 2022, he published his memoir, On Sacred Ground, which recounts the story of his career, both the successes and the controversies, the harrowing events he survived, and the path to healing he eventually found.

He is a Certified Hypnotherapist and a Recovery Coach for Sacred Ground Recovery, an organization he and his wife formed to help those who struggle with these issues find their own individualized path to recovery.
