Climbing out of the Abyss: My story.

Chuck Chapman

 

14 years ago, my life fell into disaster. I didn't realize it at the time, but my Nice Guy Behaviors destroyed everything. It started with my wife of 19 years leaving me. This was the linchpin that threw me into a dark depression, where I was drinking and using it to deal with the pain. I also entered a relationship with the first woman who showed me attention. As a result, I ended up imploding and hurting many others in the wake of my self-destruction. 

Climbing out of the Abyss: My story.

13 years ago, my life fell into disaster. I didn't realize it at the time, but my Nice Guy Behaviors destroyed everything. It started with my wife of 19 years leaving me. This was the linchpin that threw me into a dark depression, where I was drinking and using to deal with the pain. I also jumped into a relationship with the first woman who showed me attention. As a result, I ended up imploding and hurting many others in the wake of my self-destruction. 

For the next couple of years, I struggled with addiction and depression. Then I read No More Mr. Nice Guy, which changed my life. After that, I climbed out of the abyss and found my way back, primarily due to Dr. Glover's work and 12-step groups.

After reading the book, I thought, "This guy has been following me all my life and has written a book about me!" The issues and problems Dr. Glover talked about were spot-on in describing me. So I quickly went to work, devouring the book, working on the exercises, and dealing with my Nice Guy tendencies in personal therapy.

As I grew, I started to learn that I was not alone in my journey. Millions of men, just like me, struggle with the Nice Guy syndrome. So I reached out to Dr. Glover and became his student. I trained under him and became a Certified No More Mr. Nice Guy Recovery Coach. Soon after, I became his personal assistant and joined him in many trainings he offered. Eventually wrote an official supplement to his work, No More Mr. Nice Guy: The 30-Day Recovery Journal. 

As I recovered from my Nice Guy Syndrome, I started being honest and living with integrity. The more I grew, the more I found a new way to operate in the world and joy and fulfillment in life. As a result, I started offering to coach men worldwide and found that nice guys exist all over the globe. So, my mission in life has become to help men overcome their Nice Guy Syndrome.

Today my life is fantastic! I've been sober for 13 years and thriving in my work, health, spiritual journey, and, most of all, having a blast. In addition, I've married a fantastic, exciting, beautiful woman for the past nine years. My life is truly a wonder.
