SOVEREIGN SESSION: Addiction Nearly Took Him. Here's What Saved Him | EP441

This one's raw, real, and redemption-filled. In this Sovereign Session of the Awake & Winning Podcast, Kaylor sits down with Chris Throssell—a real estate agent turned sober coach who hit rock bottom and lived to rebuild. From isolating with cocaine and booze in his basement to finding his way into treatment and launching a coaching program for entrepreneurial men, Chris's story is a masterclass in taking your power back. Chris opens up about the exact moment he wanted his life to end, how a single act of vulnerability changed everything, and what it really takes to stay clean in a world designed for addiction. Kaylor and Chris unpack the psychology of addiction, the twisted glamor of cocaine, and the deeper wounds that make us crave the escape. Now 3+ years sober, Chris is helping other men do the same through his "6 Weeks to Sober" program. This episode is a powerful reminder that no matter how far gone you feel—you can still come home to yourself.   Episode Highlights: addiction recovery, cocaine addiction, sobriety journey, rock bottom, trauma healing, personal growth, men's mental health, avoiding relapse, sober coaching, self-worth, transformation, community healing       Takeaways:   Addiction often stems from unresolved trauma and identity issues Telling the truth can be the first step to healing Sobriety and recovery are two separate journeys Boundaries, integrity, and service work are keys to staying clean The desire to escape can show up in socially acceptable ways Purpose and routine are powerful tools in recovery Healing isn't linear—but connection and self-awareness are vital     If you enjoyed the episode, please be sure to take a screenshot and share it out on Instagram and tag @thekaylorbetts.
