Travis Sackett's Journey: From Law Enforcement to Recovery Advocate

I saw her life improving, even while my life maybe wasn't even sometimes on the backslide, but I just kept pushing because I was like, look, I want the best for her, I want to give her a new shot and hopefully I'll gain a second chance in it.
What happens when a life of service is interrupted by addiction and injury? In this episode of the Addict II Athlete Podcast, Coach Blu Robinson sits down with Travis Sackett, a former police officer and competitive powerlifter, to explore this very question. Travis opens up about his remarkable journey, detailing his transition from a successful career in law enforcement to battling addiction and dealing with a traumatic brain injury in 2013.
This conversation isn’t just about the dark times; it’s also about resilience, hope, and the power of storytelling. Travis shares his experiences candidly, shedding light on the personal and professional toll of addiction and injury. He discusses his book, 'My Life with Karma', which aims to raise awareness and empathy for those struggling with addiction and mental health issues. Throughout their chat, Travis emphasizes the importance of seeking help, honest communication, and perseverance.
He also touches on the critical role doctors play in prescribing medication responsibly and highlights the often-overlooked impact of addiction on marginalized communities. One of the most touching parts of the episode is when Travis talks about the therapeutic benefits of pet ownership, a topic that resonates deeply with many listeners. This episode is packed with insights and personal anecdotes that make it a must-listen for anyone facing similar struggles or supporting someone who is.
Tune in to hear Travis’s powerful story and gain a deeper understanding of the complexities of addiction and recovery.
