ADDICTION UNPLUGGED — SEASON TWO
Season One showed the struggle. Season Two shows what's possible.
We sat down with some of the most recognized names in sports, entertainment, comedy and public life — people who have lived through addiction, fought their way back, and are now willing to share their truth openly and without apology.
Because when someone you recognize looks into the camera and says "I've been there — and I made it through" — it changes everything for the person watching at home who is still in the dark.
These are their stories.
Mike Majlak Co-host of the massively popular Impaulsive podcast alongside Logan Paul, Mike has built a platform reaching millions of young people worldwide.

Court McGee Court McGee overdosed. More than once. He was written off. Then he became the Ultimate Fighter champion. His story is not just about surviving addiction — it is about what becomes possible when you do. A UFC fighter whose greatest victory never happened inside the octagon.
Brent Sopel Stanley Cup Champion. NHL veteran. And a man who spent years not understanding why his own mind seemed to work against him.

A story that will resonate with millions of families who are still searching for theirs.

A 9/11 Victim's Son Some stories begin with unimaginable loss. This is one of them.

A heart-wrenching and ultimately hopeful story of Matt Bocchi and his journey of healing, identity, and finding purpose on the other side of tragedy.
Comedian Steve Treviño and Helicopters for Heroes Steve Treviño brings his platform, his humor, and his heart to one of the most underserved conversations in this country — the mental health and addiction struggles of America's veterans.

Judge Steve Leifman What if the justice system could be part of the solution instead of part of the problem? Judge Steve Leifman has spent his career proving it can.

These are not just television segments.
They are proof — living, breathing, speaking proof — that recovery is real, that second chances exist, and that no one is beyond hope.
These are the stories that inspire. The stories that educate.
The stories that remind those still struggling — and the people who love them — that the other side of this is worth fighting for.
