Podcast: Rise Above with Kevin Lanning
Published On: Mon Mar 02 2026
Description: Logan Houle looked like he had it all. Triple-A hockey. A long-term girlfriend. Good grades. No major trauma. A “normal” life. But behind closed doors, he was blacking out daily by 16… flipping his Jeep while drunk at 17… and later—after getting sober—developing a hidden gambling addiction that led him to wager over $3.7 million in just four months. From stealing from family, draining paychecks in hours, and losing $10,000 in under 60 minutes… to rehab, self-exclusion, faith, and helping the next generation through his podcast New Generation Sobriety — this is one of the most powerful young recovery stories you’ll hear. Addiction isn’t always drugs. Sometimes it’s alcohol. Sometimes it’s gambling. And sometimes it’s the pain underneath it all. If you're struggling, you're not alone. #AddictionRecovery #GamblingAddiction #SobrietyJourney #AlcoholismRecovery #RiseAbove Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
