Addiction is often framed as a failure of willpower. But what if the real issue is disconnection—from yourself, from others, from purpose? Austin Rampt, author of One Last Hit and host of the One Last Hit Podcast, knows this from the inside: childhood trauma, living with a cartel in Mexico, and years of addiction before he found recovery. He shares why connection is the antidote to addiction, what it takes to rebuild your life, and how to help someone who is struggling.
This conversation offers a raw, honest look at recovery that goes beyond the 12 steps—and a practical message of hope for anyone facing addiction or supporting a loved one through it. Khudania Ajay (KAJ) leads the conversation.
