My name is Chris Jenkins, and for 19 years I battled cocaine addiction.

It started when I was just 16 years old. One line turned into nearly two decades of chaos, destruction, and near-death experiences.

Addiction took everything from me.

It destroyed my football career, ruined relationships, tore my family apart, cost me jobs, and stripped away my confidence, identity, and sense of self.

Over the years my addiction pushed my body and mind to breaking point. I experienced things most people never imagine:

• Two overdoses
• Oxygen therapy
• My heart stopping
• Teeth falling out
• My nose collapsing
• Drug-induced psychosis
• Loneliness, shame, and isolation

But the addiction still had its grip on me.

Eventually I lost my home in Spain and ended up back at my parents’ house — in the same room where so much of my trauma began.

Walking back into that room meant facing every demon I had spent years trying to escape.

That was the moment everything had to change.

I fought because of my daughter, Kylie.

I fought to get back to her.
I fought so she would never have to grow up watching her dad destroy himself.

My daughter deserves a present father, not a shadow consumed by addiction.

That fight changed everything.

Today I’m sober, and I’ve made it my mission to help others escape the same hell I lived through.

Because addiction doesn’t just destroy the person using — it destroys families, relationships, children, and futures.

That’s why I created REBUILDWITHCHRIS.

I took my pain and turned it into purpose: helping others break free from addiction and rebuild their lives.

If you're struggling right now, hear this:

Recovery is possible.

But you’ve got to fucking want it.

And if you’re ready to fight for your life — I’m here to help you do it.
