CRASH Podcast | Episode 12 | Sheldon Souray

Former NHL defenseman Sheldon Souray had the career most people dream about: fame, money, championships, and a life that looked perfect from the outside. But when hockey ended, addiction filled the void that retirement left behind.

CRASH: Championships Relapse And Surrendering to Home.

In this episode, Sheldon opens up about his battle with alcoholism and prescription pill addiction, multiple relapses, rehab, and the moment he finally stopped trying to do recovery his way. We talk about identity after success, why relapse became part of his story instead of the end of it, how his definition of "rich" completely changed, and why faith, family, service, and humility mean more to him today than anything he accomplished on the ice.

Whether you're struggling yourself, supporting someone who is, or simply searching for a life with more purpose, this conversation is a powerful reminder that surrender isn't giving up. Sometimes it's finally finding your way home.
