Episode 29- Jeff Teaford: I wasn’t ready to be done From Survivor to Thriver

    • Mental Health

Jeff, a 30-year veteran of the aerospace and model airplane industries and, today, a colleague to FSTT’s co-hosts at the Aspen Skiing Company, started swimming around in the pool of painkillers from the time of his first surgery for scoliosis at the age of eight. Several decades later, a minor back injury, along with a misdiagnosis for Type 2 diabetes, led to his 12-year dependence on Vicodin, other more powerful pain meds, and a serious deterioration in his physical and mental health. That all changed in 2015 when he decided to take back his life and, through his mechanical mindset, figured out that the key is finding the right gear for where you are along your life journey.
