I Was a Cop — Then I Got Arrested | Travis Hoban

Travis Hoban always wanted to be a cop—just like his dad, a tough New Jersey correctional officer. But growing up in a household filled with alcoholism and emotional turmoil, Travis carried more than just ambition into adulthood. After finally making it onto the force, his career came crashing down just one year in—arrested for DUI and forced to resign. Spiraling deeper into addiction, Travis hit rock bottom before making a powerful comeback. In this raw and emotional episode, he opens up about law enforcement culture, hitting his breaking point, and the brutal reality of recovery. #FormerCop #AddictionRecovery #DUIArrest #RockBottomToRedemption #AlcoholismStory #PoliceDownfall #SecondChances #LockedInPodcast Hosted, Executive Produced & Edited By Ian Bick: https://www.instagram.com/ian_bick/?hl=en https://ianbick.com/ Get 50% off the Magic Mind offer here: https://www.magicmind.com/IANB50. #magicmind #mentalwealth #mentalperformance Presented by Tyson 2.0 & Wooooo Energy: https://tyson20.com/ https://woooooenergy.com/ Buy Merch: http://www.ianbick.com/shop Timestamps:
