Tyler Ramsey was living the dream on paper — a Wall Street career that started at Bear Stearns, a sprint to Los Angeles, a family, a future. Underneath it all, he was drowning in alcohol and drug addiction. Then came the day that shattered him: a weed gummy fell out of his pocket, and his 3-year-old daughter ate it. While his wife raced their unresponsive daughter to the hospital, Tyler had — hours earlier — checked himself into rehab, not even knowing what had happened at home. That phone call changed everything.
In this raw, unfiltered episode of Nothing's Off the Table, Tyler opens up about his last day drinking and drugging, the rock bottom that shook him to his core, the ultimatum from his wife that kept him in treatment, and the 5-year sobriety journey that rebuilt his life, his marriage, and his relationship with his daughter — who is now 8 and thriving.
We go deep on:
▶ The weed gummy incident that became his rock bottom
▶ Leaving a Wall Street trading career at Bear Stearns and chasing the high in LA
▶ Why "everyone hates a liar — and eventually you start to hate yourself"
▶ Getting arrested at 19 and the one question that changed Louis's life: "Why don't you love yourself?"
▶ Working the 12 steps, self-forgiveness, and putting YOURSELF on your amends list
▶ Addiction running in the family — and how to talk to your kids about alcoholism and drug addiction
▶ Why experimenting with drugs today is deadlier than ever (the fentanyl reality)
▶ Tyler's best day in recovery and his message of hope for anyone still suffering
If you or someone you love is struggling with drug addiction, alcoholism, or gambling addiction — recovery is possible. This episode is proof.
