This episode of We Do Recover with Jared Miller kicks off with laughter as guest Curtis Puzey and host Jared trade jokes about their golf game—showing how something as simple as a round of golf with others in recovery can be a powerful part of the healing process. But the conversation quickly takes a deeper turn as Curtis opens up about the loss of his older brother and how trauma shaped his struggle with addiction.
Curtis shares how his relentless drive for perfection led him down a dangerous path with benzodiazepines, Adderall, and alcohol. His rock bottom? Rolling a FedEx truck into a river while completely blacked out. That moment forced him to confront his reality—and seek help. Now, having turned his life around, Curtis works at the very treatment center that helped save him, using his experience to guide others toward recovery.
This episode is packed with raw honesty, powerful transformation, and a moving testimony of faith and spiritual awakening. Curtis’s story is proof that no matter how far someone falls, recovery is possible. Don’t miss this inspiring and deeply personal conversation—download it now!

Cardiac Cowboys
The heart was always off-limits to surgeons. Cutting into it spelled instant death for the patient. That is, until a ragtag group of doctors scattered across the Midwest and Texas decided to throw out the rule book. Working in makeshift laboratories and home garages, using medical devices made from scavenged machine parts and beer tubes, these men and women invented the field of open heart surgery. Odds are, someone you know is alive because of them. So why has history left them behind? Presented by Chris Pine, CARDIAC COWBOYS tells the gripping true story behind the birth of heart surgery, and the young, Greatest Generation doctors who made it happen. For years, they competed and feuded, racing to be the first, the best, and the most prolific. Some appeared on the cover of Time Magazine, operated on kings and advised presidents. Others ended up disgraced, penniless, and convicted of felonies. Together, they ignited a revolution in medicine, and changed the world.
