Manage episode 482151527 series 3502562
Colin Sevigney, a native of Wells, Maine, achieved notable success in wrestling during his high school years. To many, he appeared to have it all together. However, despite his outward accomplishments, he struggled with inner dissatisfaction and unfulfillment until he discovered drugs and alcohol. Initially, substance abuse provided him with a sense of self, but his life soon began to spiral out of control. Following multiple interventions by his family and being inspired by a Joe Rogan podcast featuring Russell Brand, Sevigney opted to seek professional help. Leveraging the same determination that had driven his wrestling success, he managed to overcome his addiction and achieve sobriety, which he has maintained for seven years. Sevigney has since transitioned into a new role, returning to treatment to assist others struggling with addiction. Currently, he is a student and wrestler at the University of Southern Maine, as well as a wrestling coach at Smittys wrestling barn in Kingston, New Hampshire. Sevigney's story serves as a testament to the transformative power of hard work, determination, and passion in overcoming adversity and achieving a fulfilling life.
