Todd Marinovich’s life looked like a fairytale from the outside — a USC standout, first-round NFL draft pick, and the face of the L.A. Raiders.

In this full episode of Addiction Talk, Todd shares the truth about his upbringing, the collapse of his football career after multiple failed drug tests, seven trips through rehab, and the turning point that led him to lasting recovery. He also discusses his powerful memoir, Outside the Lines: Football, Art, and Addiction, and how creativity and honesty helped him find peace.
