How To Turn A Breaking Point To A Breakthrough
Some turning points come disguised as rock bottom. For Troy Karnes, that moment arrived one night after drinking too much and missing his wife’s birthday dinner—the one he had planned himself.
To prove he could change, Troy deposited $10,000 into their joint account, promising a dream vacation in a year if he stayed sober. If he failed, she could keep the money.
He didn’t last a month.
That afternoon, his wife kicked him out.
The next morning, he woke up in a hotel room, unsure where he had slept the night before—or where life would take him next. For someone who had worked in the alcohol industry his entire career, it was a sobering moment of truth: something had to change.
A Life Rebuilt: The Journey of Troy Karnes
Troy Karnes’s story is more than one of recovery from addiction—it’s about rebuilding an entire life from the ground up. He is a father, husband, recovering alcoholic, cancer survivor, business consultant, writer, and speaker who has turned his pain into purpose.
Through his work and his book, No Silver Bullets, Troy helps others discover what he learned the hard way: your life isn’t broken—and you don’t need to fix it.
