Description

In this raw and unfiltered episode of Rise Above, Michael Chosewood shares one of the wildest fentanyl addiction stories ever told on this channel.


From smoking weed as a freshman athlete… to crushing Xanax bars before school… to flipping houses, running a CBD company, and secretly trafficking fentanyl pills between the U.S. and Nicaragua—Michael was a high-functioning addict whose entire life unraveled behind the scenes.


His addiction spiraled so far out of control that he overdosed in an airplane bathroom mid-flight, forcing an emergency medical response the moment the plane landed. Yet even that wasn’t enough to stop him—at least, not yet.


Michael opens up about:




  • Growing up as a star athlete in Georgia




  • Getting hooked on Xanax at 14




  • The first overdose that should’ve killed him




  • Running from warrants, debt, and guilt




  • Living in Nicaragua while importing fentanyl pills




  • The overdose on the airplane that changed everything




  • Detoxing from fentanyl and Xanax for 31 brutal days




  • The spiritual experience that finally broke the cycle




  • Finding real sobriety in Charleston




  • Making amends, rebuilding his life, and choosing God




His journey is a powerful reminder that it truly gets worse—until you decide it doesn’t have to.
