Show Notes

Mike Boyer had the "Hallmark" childhood: two loving parents, a stable home, and a dream career as a sports broadcaster. But behind the scenes, a secret OxyContin habit spiraled into a daily heroin addiction that turned him into a "slave" to the substance while he was traveling with sports teams and working for the State Capitol.

In this raw and revealing interview, Mike discusses:

  • The "Twin Intuition": How his addiction fractured the bond with his twin sister.

  • The Broadcaster's Secret: Balancing an on-air career while battling the constant fear of withdrawal.

  • The Breaking Point: The day he stole from his boss at the State Capitol and the police intervention that saved his life.

  • 12 Years of Sobriety: How he moved from "chaos and crisis" to building a beautiful life as a father and husband.

If you or someone you love is struggling with addiction or mental health, there is a way out. Our sponsor, Compassion Behavioral Health, focuses on the "why" behind the addiction, offering individualized care and innovative treatments like TMS and EMDR.
