The Alcoholic's Struggle: How Sobriety Changed My Life and Saved My Mental Health

Rise Above with Kevin Lanning

Austin went from living in a $3 million mansion in Florida and partying like a rock star… to spiraling into full-blown addiction. After years of binge drinking and daily marijuana use, he lost direction, purpose—and even the love of his life. But on April 24, 2022, everything changed. In this raw and unfiltered conversation, Austin shares how he went from a promising athlete and successful car salesman to feeling hopeless and broken, and how hitting rock bottom became the wake-up call he needed. Now almost two years sober, Austin is rebuilding his life and using his story to inspire others to find freedom in sobriety.


This is a story of resilience, redemption, and what it means to truly take your life back. If you’re struggling with alcohol or know someone who is, Austin’s journey will show you that it’s never too late to rise above.
