In this powerful episode of Addicted to Recovery, Chris and Max welcome back returning guest Kent—nearly 10 years clean and sober—for an honest and deeply moving conversation about addiction, recovery, and what it really means to rebuild a life.
Kent shares his journey from high-flying success—playing elite rugby, studying at Oxford, and earning millions in the finance world—to hitting rock bottom in rehab, feeling completely empty despite “having it all.” He opens up about the hidden struggles of high achievers, the dangers of chasing external success, and how addiction can thrive behind wealth, status, and ambition.
Now working as a counselor and mentor, Kent helps clients around the world navigate addiction, imposter syndrome, trauma, and the pressures of success. Together, the hosts explore:
This episode is a raw reminder that recovery isn’t just about getting clean—it’s about finding purpose, connection, and meaning beyond the chaos.
If you’ve ever felt like external success wasn’t enough—or you’re on your own recovery journey—this conversation will resonate deeply.
