#178 –Dustin Gawne - Addiction, Adversity, and the Art of Starting Over

Welcome to the #ShareYourHotness Podcast episode 178! Dustin Gawne’s story is one of redemption, resilience, and raw honesty. Once caught in the grip of addiction, alcoholism, and trauma — including a near-fatal overdose and a spinal cord injury that changed his life forever — Dustin faced a crossroads that would define him. Instead of giving up, he chose to fight back. From that fight came Alternative Highs — a platform and podcast built on truth, recovery, and the belief that there’s a higher version of life waiting beyond the chaos. Dustin’s message is simple: your past doesn’t define you — what you do next does. Through his words, work, and movement, Dustin is showing others that it’s never too late to rise, rebuild, and reclaim your purpose.
