Brandon Franklin went from playing quarterback and earning a college football scholarship to heroin, meth, homelessness, overdoses, jail, and drug court. I sat down with Brandon because his story shows just how far addiction can take someone — and how dramatically a life can change when recovery finally takes hold. Born in Fort Riley, Kansas, Brandon says he started smoking and drinking around 9 or 10 years old. Sports became a major part of his life, and he eventually became a high school quarterback. Then injuries introduced him to prescription pills. After breaking his ankle and later tearing the tendon that held his kneecap in place, Brandon began abusing the medication he was prescribed. He says he was eventually getting high before football games and taking significant amounts of Triple C’s. Despite everything happening behind the scenes, Brandon earned a scholarship to play football at the University of the Cumberlands. But addiction followed him there. Drinking, drugs, and stealing eventually got him kicked out of school. He tried joining the military but couldn’t pass a drug test, so he turned to synthetic marijuana. His addiction continued progressing into cocaine, methamphetamine, and heroin. Then came jail. Treatment centers. Drug court. Homelessness. And multiple overdoses — including an overdose while he was already in drug court. Brandon entered long-term treatment initially trying to stay out of jail. But something eventually changed. He worked the 12 Steps of Alcoholics Anonymous, worked with a sponsor, completed drug court, leaned into prayer, and began building a completely different life. The crazy part? He never wanted to work in recovery. Today, Brandon and his wife run Bluegrass Recovery LLC, providing structured recovery environments for men, women, and couples. Their program incorporates structure, housing planning, and work with horses while helping clients prepare for life after completing the program. His wife dreams of eventually opening a homeless shelter. Brandon wants to create a workout facility focused on transformation. In this episode, Brandon and I get into childhood substance use, football, prescription pill addiction, college athletics, heroin, meth, cocaine, homelessness, overdose, jail, drug court, AA, the 12 Steps, faith, entrepreneurship, recovery, and finding purpose in the same world he once wanted nothing to do with. Brandon describes his old life as being a “slave in my own mind.” Today, he says he is free from King Alcohol and King Heroin — and living a life with purpose. This is a comeback story.
