About this listen
Former NHL All-Star Sheldon Souray joins The Shane Vitko Podcast for a raw conversation about how quickly life can unravel when identity, pain, and access collide.
Sheldon opens up about a progression most people never see coming. Pills that started as “just in case” turned into daily survival. What felt controlled became brutal. Relationships fell apart. Self-respect disappeared. And the lie that more would finally make things right kept winning until it didn’t.
This episode is not about hockey highlights or career accolades. It’s about what happens when the uniform comes off, the noise fades, and you’re left alone with yourself. We talk about addiction, the mindset of excess, the cost of unchecked behavior, and the moment denial stops working.
If you’ve ever told yourself “I’ve got this” while everything around you was quietly burning, this episode will hit close to home.
This is a conversation about accountability, recovery, and what it actually takes to come back when your life goes off the rails.
