EP 161 - A Conversation with Keith Hansen

In this episode of We Do Recover with Jared Miller, host Jared and guest Keith Hansen tee things off with some light-hearted banter about their golf game—because nothing displays connection quite like friendly competition on the golf course. But the laughs soon give way to a powerful and inspiring story as Keith opens up about his battle with addiction to alcohol and opioids, which began in high school following a series of surgeries.

Keith shares how, even after becoming a licensed nurse, his addiction escalated—fueled by easy access to medications while working in home healthcare. In a courageous move, he voluntarily surrendered his nursing license and committed to getting clean in 2023. Now walking the path of recovery, Keith brings raw honesty, deep insight, and golden nuggets of wisdom that anyone—whether in recovery or supporting someone who is—can benefit from.
