I remember that fucking feeling... I treated one addiction, two addictions, I guess alcohol and drugs for food addiction.
Imagine being a kid who finds solace in pro wrestling, only to have your world shattered by the loss of your biggest supporter—your dad. This is the backdrop of Brian 'Sledge' Campbell's life. Bullied as a child and devastated by his father's death, Brian turned to alcohol at just 13. His journey spiraled into addiction and failed relationships, compounded by the rejection from the professional wrestling world he so dearly loved.
But here's where it gets interesting: Brian didn't let his demons win. Instead, he transformed his pain into passion, returning to wrestling after a pivotal appearance on the Stone Cold Steve Austin podcast. Now a full-time pro wrestler, Brian shares his gritty yet uplifting story on this episode of 'Knockin' Doorz Down'. He talks about how he clawed his way back from rock bottom, proving that no matter how dark things get, there's always a way to rise.
This episode isn't just about wrestling; it's about resilience, the power of support systems, and the relentless pursuit of dreams. If you're looking for a tale that mixes raw honesty with a dose of inspiration, Brian's story is one you won't want to miss.
