What happens when your dream is to live like John Belushi in Animal House—and you actually pull it off?

For Trey R., that dream became a nightmare of alcohol and drug addiction. In this raw and deeply moving episode of The Cup of Joe Show, Trey shares his rollercoaster of a journey: from growing up a devout Christian and drinking alone at 16, to nearly dying of alcohol poisoning at 17, to chasing the high across the country with Widespread Panic.

Despite becoming a successful attorney, Trey’s addiction cost him everything—his marriages, his career, and ultimately, his self-worth. He opens up about the darkest corners of his life, including the moment he realized his only “friends” were the ones he paid: bartenders, dealers, and strippers. But just when it seemed all was lost, a window of willingness opened… and his drug dealer drove him to an AA meeting.

Hear how Trey rebuilt his life not once, but twice, after an 8-year relapse—through prayer, meditation, and service. This isn’t just a story about addiction and recovery—it’s about spiritual rebirth, second chances, and the quiet power of surrender.

🎧 Whether you're in recovery, love someone who is, or just need a reminder that redemption is possible, this episode is a can’t miss.
