About this episode
Landon Finn had everything going for him.
Good grades. Fraternity president. Bright future.
But behind closed doors he was drinking at 7AM, tripping on LSD four times a week, blacking out in a Bugs Bunny costume, and hearing voices that weren’t there.
He lied to his parents.
He lied to his sponsor.
He lied to himself.
After passing out behind the wheel and landing in acute kidney failure at 21 years old, doctors told him if he showed up a few hours later… he wouldn’t be here.
This is the raw story of alcoholism, psychosis, relapse, overdose loss, humility, and rebuilding a life from rock bottom.
Three years sober.
University of Colorado recovery center leader.
Working to open treatment centers and change the system.
This is what choosing life looks like.
If you or someone you love is struggling with addiction, this episode could save a life.
