Luke Wollet: From NFL Dreams to Battling Addiction and Finding Purpose

I just knew that God's hand was over me this entire time and that he did have a plan and a purpose for all my pain in life, and that it wasn't a matter of him not being with me, it was just a matter of me not seeing it.
Ever wondered how a promising athlete's life can take an unexpected turn? Meet Luke Wollet, a former NFL prospect whose journey took him from the heights of college football stardom to the depths of addiction. In this episode of 'Knockin' Doorz Down', host Jason LaChance sits down with Wollet to uncover the twists and turns of his life story.
After a career-halting injury, Wollet found himself grappling with opiate and heroin addiction, compounded by a gambling problem that started when he was just 14. He doesn't shy away from discussing his darkest moments, but what stands out is his resilience and determination to rebuild his life. Now, Wollet works closely with Banyan Treatment Centers, dedicating his time to helping others find sobriety and purpose.
His story is a powerful reminder of the importance of community support and the strength it takes to overcome addiction. Whether you're struggling yourself or supporting someone who is, Wollet's journey offers hope and inspiration.
