I Overdosed on Fentanyl Mid-Flight | My Descent Into Fentanyl Hell & How I Finally Got Sober

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.
