“I Was in Psychosis for 14 Days… Alone” | From Cocaine Addiction to Recovery

“I was talking to a plant… I lost my mind.” This is one of the craziest addiction stories we’ve ever told. In this episode, Louis sits down with his cousin Mike Mudd — a man who went from making serious money and living large… to complete isolation, cocaine psychosis, and nearly losing everything. Mike opens up about: * Spending $1,500 a day on cocaine * His nose collapsing from drug use * 14 days of full-blown psychosis, alone in his house * Shooting up his own home while hallucinating * Nearly hurting the people he loves * Losing everything… and finally surrendering At his lowest point, it was just him… and what he calls “the devil” — locked inside his own mind. But this isn’t just about destruction. It’s about what happens when you finally pull the plug, go to treatment, and do whatever it takes to change your life. If you’re struggling — or think you’re “not that bad yet” — this episode will wake you up. 🔔 Real stories. Raw comebacks. Nothing’s off the table.
